Default She's gone

Just sold the F4i. My first bike. I got a little choked up as the new buyer was pulling away. The last pic I took of her:

Well, on the bright side, I just bought a new RR Phoenix!

Well, i haven't bought it yet... I gave the dealership $200 to hold my phoenix. This bike looks way more badass in person than it does in the pictures. The artwork on the front fairing above the headlights is wicked awesome! They only made 850 of them, and I'm getting one!!! I told the dealer i plan to finance the crap out of it, so please hold it for me for a week. Boy are they gonna be pissed when i put $8,000 down!

Phoenix is $10,100 out the door... about $400 more than the regular RR's... PLUS any vehicle you buy this year you get to deduct from your taxes... sooo, WOOT STIMULUS!!!

Whoever bought the bike from you is one lucky fella; I'm sure it was in pristine condition. The dealer by my house has one of those RRs, but I'm afraid to go near it. Kinda feel it would be like cheating on my F4i. Glad you're staying with Honda & on the forum.

Awe man, there is very few things, i think, that the Phoenix would not be able to get me over. That is probably the coolest bike i have ever seen.

Man your f4i sure was nice, but that phoenix is just gorgeous.. Just think how sweet it'll be taking it home and doing some sweet mods during the summer.
