Re: why the f4i??

seriously, like, do a search, theres atleast ten polls, with tons of reasons listed why people PREFER them. I dont know if I would call it the best. I love mine. But, any bike can be just as good. 600rr for example..... just to start you off though,
they have pretty solid subframes, pretty strong motors, they are small compared to some bikes, which is nice in the lot, etc. etc

Re: why the f4i??

'cause its a shitty bike, with shitty brakes, riding position sucks, its not reliable, no power, no bolt-on options for stunts, stupid looks, wack rep...

*sarcasm off*

Re: why the f4i??

I have to agree...very user friendly, and a lot more forgiving than even my Gixxer 600. I wheelie my buddies F4i, and it's just smoother and less twitchy. Still like my Gixxer though :YEAH

Re: why the f4i??

Because, mine has been through 3 100+mph wrecks, been stolen twice, dropped from 12 countless times (without a cage might I add), I even let the temp go up above 260 degrees and I swear to you I have tried everything in my power to destroy it and it just ends up pointing and laughing at MY road rash. Then you have the almost endless supply of parts for them at low prices on ebay, always a plus. Just to add to the above reasons...

SCOTT_Chychul has a little shameless behaviour in the past
Re: why the f4i??

yea ill agree with that.. i put on 60,000 km on my honda f4 engine,, changed the oil maybe twice.. When it finally died it was because i was runnin it with only 1 liter of oil in it.. Whoops.. so i get a motor in it the next day.. cheap, you can kill a honda but it takes alot of effort,, or just a complete disregard for maitanence.

Re: why the f4i??

i had a ride of one to see what all the fuss was about and didnt find it that great. dont get me wrong. it wasnt bad or anything like that but i think i just had such high expectations from what every1 had said i'm sure if i spent a w/e on one i might like it a lil more. but i like my gixer. does the job.my

I love my 929 for its power, but I hate it for its bulk. F4i's are lean, and easy to throw around, not b/c they weigh a ton less than a 929 but they are just slimmer and easy to maneuver.

I GOTTA HAVE THE POWER OF THE 929 FOR ONE AND I LIKE THE CHASSIS ALOT BETTER. IM 6'3 210, I FEEL LIKE THE MONKEY F#CKIN THE FOOTBALL ON THE F4I. PARKING LOT PIMPIN IS COOL, BUT THAT IS DEFINATELY NOT ALL THERE IS FOR US. ANY TRICK I CAN DO ON THE 929 I CAN DO ON A F4I, THOSE WHO RIDE F4I'S PROBABLY COULDNT DO THE SAME ON A 929, SO FOR ME ITS MORE "G". F4I'S ARE PIMP BUT LACK THE WHOLE PACKAGE FOR ME.
