Hello everyone! My name is Greg and I'm a new rider and new to the group. Just bought a 2004 Honda CBR 600F4I for the girlfriend and myself to learn on and get comfortable riding. So far it is am absolutely outstanding first bike and I have loved every minute of riding. I'm from the Chicago suburbs way west and am a huge car guy having a 1990 celica alltrac as a project and the gf having a 1969 Volkswagen beetle as her project. Hope to meet some other local riders and attend some cruises or rides soon. I look forward to chatting with everyone!
Both the girlfriend and I took the riding course last summer local to us that went for 3 days and ended with both of us passing and just had to go to the DMV to get the license changed. I've only been riding the F4I for about 3 weeks trying to take it out and learn as much as possible even if it's just to go about the block. I live in a kind of rural area so started with taking it just on country roads to get a feel for the bike and have slowly worked into going on busier roads but still learning everyday!
Thanks! All my cars always have to have red on them haha.

Yeah, man, always nice to hear from new riders!
That's a good start! I've only been riding a few years, so not an expert by any means, but I would strongly encourage you to check out a few tutorial channels on YT. There are so many things to learn that it can be overwhelming at times. Being able to recognize which skills are most important and focusing on them is a great way to get comfortable and learn the bike. These bikes are pretty tame/forgiving at the lower rpm range but not so much when it hits 7-8k! I've had more than few "Oh, ****!" moments because I got carried away (literally) with my love for the throttle!
