Default First Bike

I just recently bought my first bike. It is a 2001 cbr F4i red and black in color. It has 4300 miles on it. I am new to the motorcycle world and wondering what all there is as far as aftermarket upgrades to make the bike look better without costing to much

Welcome to the forum and riding.
Red and black is a good looking bike....i'm not baised or anything. Lol
As far as cosmetic upgrades go, look through the picture sticky for the f4i to get some ideas of where you want to go with it. Lights, signals, windscreen, and levers are a pretty popular thing to change as well as exhaust mods.

Only 4300 mi? That's excellent! Very happy for you. Congrats!

In addition to what 74demon recommended, have the suspension set up by a professional for your body type & riding style. You'd be amazed at what a few adjustments can do to make your riding better (& safer). Next, go thru all the maintenance on your bike to make sure everything is up to date. Any issues/parts that need servicing/replacing - do it.

Have you taken the MSF Course? Motorcycle Safety Foundation Many of us here highly recommend it. Check into it.

Most importantly, be safe out there! Always be on the defense but still have fun & enjoy.

Welcome to the forum! This is truly one of the best places to learn about not only riding and motorcycles, but about your bike. It's a great community that can help you with just about anything.

Nice buy on the F4i with such low mileage. That color scheme is what I wanted when I was buying my first bike as well. Congratulations!

Ride safe and have fun!

Welcome to the forum, F4i is a great choice in bike.

Aftermarket for the F4i is truly endless. Hit up ebay

Welcome to CBRF....congrats on your new bike! I've always said this to all members.....not just the bike have to look good. Rider have to look good too...With protective gears. Many may focus all on bike but not on own body. Stay safe out there.

Man you ALWAYS beat me to it!

A MSF course is a great way to start out. I thought I was a good rider until I wanted to be an MSF instructor. I learned that I had a lot of learning to do!
