Default New guy with an 05 F4i

Hi all. Bought an '05 F4i about two weeks ago and have been loving every minute of it! Fast but still comfortable ... and oh how nice it is to finally have FI!

Hi and welcome aboard!
Your F4i is a beaut.
Lots of F4i owners here so if you have any questions check out the F4i forum, we'll help you out
By the way, what kind of carburated bike did you used to have?

Thanks for the reply. I went from a 98 Razz in college, to a Ninja 250 to a Katana 600 that I dearly loved ... I just needed more suspension for the track. I got quite good at ripping apart it's carbs and cleaning/tuning them, but I liked it a bit rich, which made cold starts a bit of a PITA. Being able to just push the button and walk in the house to get my helmet is a BIG improvement!

Hey there KillaBeave, that's one sweet ride; love that color scheme. The Akrapovic exhaust really pulls it together nicely. Tons of us owners here so make yourself at home.

Good looking bike you got there and welcome! You got the best color scheme for any known cbr's. Lol. How many miles does it have and how much did you pay for it?

Nice...the ole' Kan-A-Tuna is a solid machine...it just isn't a Honda! LOL
