My name is Dave and i'm from Reading, PA. Just bought a 2004 CBR 600 F4i. Still getting used to the bike. Find myself rather uncomfortable still and having a heck of a time with low speed turns. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and hope to meet some of you.

welcome. Take a motorcycle safety class. It'll help. One of the harder riding skills is slow speed.
Just do the basics: brake(rear), throttle, clutch, and don't forget to lean. It takes lots of practice
to get comfortable doing slow speed turns, u-turns, and just creeping along w/o putting your feet down.
It'll come, give it time.
