Hey riders.....I just got my bike last week. It's a 2005 cbr f4i. I'm loving it.
anyways, i'm an inexperienced rider but I've been practicing all day. I got my permint and all and can't wait to take the motorcycle training course and get my M1 license here in california. What really got me into bike were the chicks...damn they really dig the biker dudes. LOL. jk. well to be honest, I rode my friend 05 gsx-r 750 and it was a blast. I was doing reasearch and i ended up getting the F4i due to its ride comfort, reliability and looks. I guess I had an advantage of learning to ride quickly since i know how to drive stick shift, i just had to be really careful with the throtle. any advice for the new guy here? oh i hope the picture works.

Welcome to the site and the addiction.
+1 on taking the motorcycle training course.
Some advice to adhere to would be: Gear for yourself and the bike all the time, everytime (Dress for the crash not the ride). (Helmets, glove, jacket, boots, back brace, riding pants). Ride like everyone is out to kill you(because they are). Ride within your limits. Let the tires warm up before doing any serious leaning or heavy throttling (Cold tires are slick just like new tires). Practice, Practice, Practice.

hey welcome aboard and this is the site to obtain some good insight.. It sounds like ur on the right track, researching etc..
get the rider course under the belt and now build that exp. by putting in those miles... dont let the bike just lean on the stand...get the miles under the belt and building ur reaction time when obstacles appear as they will on the roads..
PRACTICE....................
