About to seal the deal on my first bike...questions
Just want to make sure I am getting a fair deal on this.
2002 F4i, 15.5k miles, yellow/black. It has never been wrecked. Totally stock. New rear pads, synthetic every 3k. The only bad thing was it fell over in his yard and cracked the fairing and the mirror. I know I can get the mirror for $30 from bikebandit.com. The fairing isn't that bad, so I am going to live with that rather than replace it. Pads were replaced on the rear. Tires are in good shape.
$3800 gets me the bike, helmet, leather jacket, and an extra left mirror (he ordered the wrong one). I know the guy personally, so I know all the above is true (i.e. not ever wrecked or dropped while riding).
I'm 28 and drove it this past sunday (first time EVER driving a 2 wheel motor powered machine!!!) ....must say I am really nervous, but I am looking forward to it. Hoping to be at VIR next summer for some track days if I get enough experience under my belt.

I got pics, but I don't want to post them since I haven't actually bought it yet! It's just a stock yellow 02 F4i... I promised myself that I've got to sell some crap in the garage to make room for it (check out for sale section shortly!).

Good pics and sounds like a good deal. It's always good to personally know the person you are buying from and trust them. Hope you like it and since you said you've never been on a 2-wheel powered machine, take the MSF. It's well worth it.
