Default hi from west wales

hi, thought i'd introduce myself. i've had to sadly sell my trusty firestorm recently as my joints cant take the pain anymore. so i'm on the lookout for a cbr600f4i if i survive the next few months. i have a couple of hondas i'm restoring but i told my wife i'm getting a tidy bike as soon as possible

Welcome from the Netherlands.
I'm sory to hear you could not ride you bike anymore. However good to hear you found a solution.

Welcome to the forum! Love my F4i but surprised to hear that it would be more comfortable than the larger VTR. I find my knees getting cramped after an hour or so...

Anyway, hope you find a nice one (there seems to always be a few for sale)! Post up some pics when you find one!

the vtr is longer and you drape yourself over the tank a lot more. great bike to ride but the cbr is a little more upright. cant wait for the virus thing to wind down. i miss riding big time

Ah, got it!

I've been lucky as far as "virus" riding in that, while our governor declared "emergency supply runs" only, the police here aren't going out of their way to harass anyone. I figure if I did get questioned, I'd just say I was out to get milk and was taking the scenic route!
