hi and welcome tom
congrats on the f4i, get over to the f4i section to say hello and pick their brains, get some pics up when you get your bike (you can use photobucket), and seeing as its your first bike take it easy and make sure you have all your gear sorted

Welcome to the CBR Forum Tom,

Take your time learning to ride, do the safety courses and wear all the right gear. Riding is something that will bring a smile to your dial every time you throw a leg across a bike. It's being there for the long run that really takes skill.

Post some pictures when you can - we love pictures!

Cheers, SB

If you want to use flickr, copy the link with the push pin icon.

Thanks for the picture (and to Demon for fixing the link )

That is a nice looking 600 - but what is all that white stuff behind it??

We don't get a lot of that where I live.

Cheers, SB

Welcome to CBRF! The F4i is a great first bike for you. Don't be scared of your motorcycle - just understand what its capable of. Taking the MSF is a definite good idea. Take your time to ease into riding and you'll enjoy it. Have fun!
