2001 that looks like a 2000 F4????
Ok, I have lost my mind.
And by the way I am new to this forum, so let me apologize in advance for stupid questions as I am a newbie to the CBR world!
Anyway, I am the proud new owner of a 600 F4.
The funny thing is, the VIN and Frame Stamp state a 2001 (03/01) production year...
The bike has a full analog dash cluster and a solid seat which is inherit to the 2000.
Confused. I have called the local Honda dealer and they are as confused as I am so i thought that I would post it to you professionals to hack out.
The bike is flawless, and I actually prefer the Analog Dash over the digital, and the one piece seat, it is just weird is all.
On another note, the bike will jump slightly and kill itself upon placing her into first gear... Gut feeling is a clutch adjust, any advice?
Thanks all, this site is great!
Have a great day!

As for the VIN being from 3/01, they more than likely already stopped production on the '00 year bikes by then, if not already in the fall of '00. Try calling Honda customer service, I don't have the number handy, but I'm sure it's on their website somewhere. Maybe they can shed some light on the subject.

Please note,
This bike has been stolen and the local authorities are now in route to confinscate this motorized vehicle. If you resist you will be put down like a deer with a broken leg. Please do you attempt to evade the authorities on your stolen vehicle, for it will only make for a 6 O'Clock news story of how a biker attempts and fails. Although I might be kidding, your story is perplexing and I would appreciate it if you would keep me up to date as to the progress of this predicament. I am not a professional linguist or writer, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night...

DDVS NOT FUNNY...
But still haha!
Well. The person at Honda Customer Service was about as much help as a box of hammers.
So the mystery ensues. I spoke with Mr. Dave at the local honda shop and he says that he sees this once in a bit, the only real diff is the guage cluster and the seat, AND you would think that the Analog guage is cheaper but THAT IS WRONG.
Ouch.
Not that i need one but still...
Here is a shot by the way:
