Default hi all!!

Hey guys!! Figured I would say hi and introduce myself.

I was fortunate enough to find an F4 that needed a little love for next to nothing, infact they needed service and gave it to me for that. Techincally free.

I've only owned two bikes before it, a 2000 aprilia RSV, and an 04 Aprilia RSVR Factory (which is my current daily).

The f4 looks like its been a track girl for a while now, seen pavement on both sides; low sides at low speeds, only rash on sliders and bar ends really.

I was able to get it out to a track day last month at Blackhawk Farms and with my buddy at helm, it did very good!

Im very excited to get some parts for it and get it on the road too. The ape is a drama queen, its AMAZING when she runs perfect, but thats not always the case. so it would be nice to get the f4 to daily status

some pics of the rides -

me on the new(er) ape


the old ape


and the f4



for the f4 Im in need of a clean title frame, and to mock up some head and tail lights. so if anyones got a frame with title let me know!

welcome to the forum anthony!

nice stable of bikes you have there. i'd bet it's a tough decision to decide which to ride. not a bad problem to have.

love the red truck with the hawks decal too! we are displaced hawk fans here in cali.

Welcome to CBRF Anthony!

Great pics & nice lookin' bikes!

Congrats on the new to you F4. The race tail looks good. Looks like a good solid project bike.

I've got a 2000 F4 myself. They really are solid bikes if well maintained. I use mine for daily commuting, twisties, & track.

Thanks guys!

Honestly i love riding them all, and Im excited to see some street duty on the Honda too! I really like the ease of driving, and I would really like its gas mileage too. Im currently getting low 20s on the ape

The Ducati is my buddies, i brought my 04 and f4 to the track last month to ride the ape once, and the honda to finish the day.

And who would have thought, the Duc took a crap! HA. So that lucky guy got to ride the f4 all day.

The track plastics look good. Noticed the PO painted right over the tank decals. ;-)

i know classy right! i told him when i picked it up; that I was impressed. One of the best rattle can jobs I have ever seen (it was actually sprayed with a gun; it was more me being condescending)
