I was just skimming the paper when i noticed a 929 with only 4000 miles on it way under blue book. I called the guy, went and looked at it and was amazed at how clean and cheap it was. I bought it the next day and sold my F3 to my friends buddy who wanted to get into sportbikes for the same amount I paid for it 4 years ago.

I loved my YZF600R, but I've always been a Honda fan. All my cars have been Hondas. I know you're extremely reliable and the fit and finish is incredible. I did my research and I narrowed it down between the CBR1000RR and R1.

I read one article that brand the Honda a Gentlemesn Superbike. I liked that description...together with the looks, engine, and feel - the decision was made.

And I've never looked back!

I work for a marine dealer that takes just about everything in on trade. I saw it had just come in at our service to department, so the techs could eval it. I saw it and about 2 minutes later, stcuk a sold tag on it with my name on it. I traded in a couple of ATVs on it to boot.
Always wanted one and didn't wanna wait another decade. I should have done 14 years ago.....lol
Never gonna quit now!

My friend got me interested in the F4i, always have loved the front end and headlights...
Once the time came i sat on the F4i, R6, and GSXR...The f4i was the most comfortable...
I found a clean 2004 owned by a 40yr old that just cruised around on it...it was mint, had to have it, and now i do, lol

Discovered dirt bikes late in life about 3 years ago, I was 36. Caught on pretty quick and fell in love. Dad had a harley and no one to ride with so I bought my CBR 600 RR. Seriously fell head over heels in love. This was the one thing I had been missing in my life. I've had hobbies before, baseball, softball, golf, guitar but nothing comes close to sport bike riding. It's all I think about. I'm probably even getting divorced because of it but it's all worth it. I'm obsessed with it and thats no exaggeration. I'm not that good yet but I thrive on the thought of getting better. I wish I had discovered these things in my early twenties. Why honda? Because it's the best, hands down. I won't ride anything else.
