Dude seriously. Dont pay attention to those lame dealers he was just probably trying to sell you a new Litre bike. Personally I dont see what the big thing is. I have an '05 f4i and its plenty fast...and i'm a bit tubby to boot. Question....why do you need to go much over the speed limit? See if you can make those huge bike payments with all the speeding tickets those guys get. Not to mention there are a number of idiots that get on those R1's who are just retarded...you see em poppin wheelies and doing dumb a$% stuff. They are the ones that always get scooped off the pavement.

I am absolutely in love with my F4i. I think it has plenty of pickup. How much do you really need anyway? I can get mine up to 60 or 70 faster than any sports car out there. i just dont see the need...not to mention the extra 2 or 3 grand in cost.

Keep your F4i bro..they are awesome!

Agreed! Im keepin my baby!

 

Obviously the dealer has no idea what he is talking about. We all know the Katana is a girls bike....lol.. But seriosly everytime i ride with my friends they say i ride the hell out of my honda...so they never joke abot riding a girls bike....

 

i know a girl who rides a gsxr1000 who would make that bitch sales**** look like a ***

I just got my 01 red/black f4i and its awesome, i love this bike, plenty fast, looks very nice and rides great. I get tons of compliments cause there arent too many f4i's around, most people have gixxers, r6s and 600rrs. Its my first street bike and I love how easy it is to ride and how forgiving it is, but I still respect it and wear all my gear. I just love riding, so this bike is more than enough for me.

Im happy so far, and tomorow, I will be bolting on my jardine race pipe...heheeh...cant wait[8D]

 

Seriously, what a moron. He acts like you need a new bike. Yes, the Honda is slower than the Suzuki, RR, and the GSX-R. But who really cars? I could have got any bike I wanted. But I wanted the F4i. I honestly wanted the R6, but after hearing all the problems with the trans, carb, etc... I decided to go with the honda. And come on, not using FI until '03? What was yamaha thinking? The F4i is a sweet bike, and it'll keep up with just about anything out there. The difference in speed is so small, you'd have to be a hell of a rider/pro to notice. They act like you couldn't have gotten any other bike, like you got the honda because that's all you could get and you had to settle for it.. Morons. I didn't even consider the GSX-R. That bike to me is ugly. When I was looking for a bike, it was either the honda or the yamaha. Lets not forget honda's rep. for the best quality machines on the road. There is none better.

 

That A$$H0le dealer probably doesnt even know how to ride a bike. He probably drives an old minivan because thats all he can muster in terms of speed. I would have told him "here, take this chainlube and go screw yourself."

 

Sounds like his cubicle is too close the garage and getting too much exhaust fumes.

Next time somebody stars flaming your ride, whatever it may be, ask them if they'll buy you an upgrade? That will shut them up pretty quick. I do see a lot of women on F4is... who cares, something to break the ice when you ride up to the next hottie on a Honda, right?
