What's good CBR Forum?

I just picked up a brand new '02 f4i. Yes, brand new 2002. The only miles on her are the 200 or so I've put on since friday night. She is my first SS, so I'm taking it easy for now, but the way that intake sounds over 6k makes me almost positive I'll be getting a speeding ticket soon enough.

My plans for the bike aren't too extreme, probably just some corbin seats, ( my *** all ready hurts and it's only been a few hours total of riding), fender eliminater, PCIII, K&N filter, some sort of exhaust, and some flush mount signals to clean it up.

I'm looking forward to being a member of this site, there's so much info here.

Thanks for reading.

Hello & Welcome!!

 

hi and welcome,,,

 

Welcome, glad to have you here! Post some pics and tell us how you happened upon your ride?

 

Well, I was looking for a CBR, so i was going through all the honda dealerships in my area, just to see what was available without me having to place an order. No one had one that I liked ( i guess with spring all the good stock was called). I heard there was a harley dealership that sells hondas as well, so I figured I'd take a drive and see. Apparently, they were killing off the last of their Honda stock, and my CBR happened to be in that pile, They had like 4 Hondas left, a brand new 600 RR, a 599, and some cruiser. The bright yellow F4i caught my attention first, the tag said "2002 see salesman for price". I asked the guy the mileage, he said "0, it just got uncrated a few months ago, and no one wants it, so we've been bringing the price down every moth." He told me the price, and I went for it.

OK, now the prerequisite funny first ride story: I tokk off from the parkinglot, but didn't get on it. I looked down at the speedo, and it read "85". Of course I was a bit skeptical seeing as how there was a mid 90"s ford taurus right in front of me. Turns out the digital read out was showing Km p/h.

If it ever stops raining for more than a half hour, I'll have some pics up.
