Ignore him Gahboo,

So where's your test-ride report Evan?

You are really demonstrating how out of touch you are for all here to see. If you really believe what you say, then quit defending yourself. That is a sign of insecurity.
You are a very stupid person.
I thought my comment about your putting me at risk as a result of your stupidity was relevant and constructive. I am not primarily concerned about your safety, because to each his own. If you insist on jumping into the meat grinder, I am not here to stop you. But I damn well have a right to call foul when you risk pulling me in after you.
As Armadillo said. You just do not want to be told certain things. And, I am not emotionally going off on you here by calling you stupid and such. That word is carefully chosen because it does accurately reflect your attitudes, as exhibited in this thread. You have also chided what you call "arrogance" in several posts. You, my stupid friend, are the arrogant one. At least in my own personal world, I think about the well being of others as I make my (intelligent) decisions. You have not risen to that level of responsibility yet, or you would realize your own stupidity.
It is not meant as an insult. Just a descriptive adjective. Your decision IS stupid. You made the decision, so you are a stupid person. That is why I used the word.
For the record, effin' was selected in an attempt to underscore the magnitude of your stupidity.
So go ahead and make fun of my name, or Armadillo's family, or whatever else your stupid self wants. Bottom line: You put ME at risk by getting a literbike as your first ride. That is ultimately arrogant. It pisses me off. Stay off the road. Go to the track. Go piss your pants in fear as you ride the literbike in your own little personal drame. But just don't kill ME while yu are doing it.

The funny thing is that out of all the people who came in and shared (both Pos and Neg), you are the only two arguing over...your own opinion. This Father and Son moment must be special for you both.
Gaboo, your only two posts on this entire board are filled with "flames" for no apparent reason,...and I'm the troll? Who's out of touch?
What intelligent decision making went on here with your "endless" bashing over me having a CBR1000?
TexasArmidillo, grow up, give Gahboo a bottle and you both take a nap.
Do either of you two even own a CBR1000? Cuz that's who I was looking for feedback from on this CBR forum. If you even bothered to read the earlier posts, there was never a problem until you two decided to come in here with LAME sarcasm. At age 47, Texy, you should be ashamed. Gah-boo,...at only 2 post and flaming the way you are...you should be ashamed. But that's cool...I understand that frustrated people need to vent, hiding on boards, to make themselves feel better. So vent away boys, you have already gotten too much of my attention. That will now be reserved for my CBR1000!!!
TO ANY MODERATOR, please lock...I have already gotten the worthwhile feedback from CBR owners. Time to RIDE. THX.

Bung nugget, I never felt the need to post until I saw your stupid question...
No, I do not own a CBR. I don't think you should either...

Your stupidity is gaining notoriety over at www.f650.com as well.
What you interpret as two guys unjustifiably flaming you is really just the two individuals from the motorcycle community at large who spoke up. Believe me, me and Armadillo are not the only ones who think you are stupid.
You asked your stupid question in a CBR forum... And you expected unbiased commentary. Of course many here think you are OK on a literbike because they own them too. Duh??
By the way, I bet you bought a Joe Rocket jacket with that bike. Just curious, but I bet you did...

well hey im gona put my 2 cents in. i bought an 01 cbr f4i for my first bike im 21 years old all my prior experince was on dirt bikes the biggest being a 250. people told me the f4i was to much bike for me but how i stand on the 600 is that if you cant control your self enogh to stay off the throtal then you shouldnt have a bike at all. although i have never even come close to pining the throtal on it becuase the bike has much more power then ill ever use and for the life of me i cant figure out why any one would need more then 600 cc. i think it was a bad idea to purchase 1000 cc as i find 600 to be to much for me but i just dont use what i dont need. good luck with your bike and be safe most of all

Dirt bike experience is nothing to sneeze at my friend. Gravel on the street is something that still puckers me and that's why I'm signed up for an offroad class to help with mastering sub-optimal road surface conditions. The F4i was something that various salesmen and MSF trainer/coaches suggested to me was just a bit past an MSF graduate with no prior experience and I was pointed to three models as representative (SV650, Ninja250, BMWF650CS) of being at the risk boundary for me. I chose the BMW. Given that you have dirt bike experience on top of the MSF, I'd think it safe to extrapolate that the F4i is in your skillset. Congrats on a good ride.

BTW, I just finished forwarding this thread to several MSF rider/coaches who were interested in displaying, for their future students, an "Extreme example of what NOT to buy after they graduate from the BRC."
They are quite amused.
NOTE: This thread is now being monitored for educational purposes.

The thing is that some people have a real harsh way of giving their opinion, and some people try to be more civilized. At the end, you have to realize that ALL the people are trying to give you their opinions because they care at least a little. What else do you think anyone would gain from telling you not to buy a bike? Because they're jelous? Doubt it.
I've also noticed that as great of a site this is, though there are quite a few veteran riders, there are also a LOT of newer riders. On most other sportbike forums with more veteran riders MOST people would be flaming big time on a post like this.
I personally prefer to give advice on a more civil level, because when you're being real harsh to someone you lose the whole idea that you're their friend and that you're trying to help them. It becomes more of a war.
Just a few things to think about :
1) Search the internet (and usenet). Why do you think that MOST veteran riders/instructors insist that 600cc+ is a very bad choice as a first bike? There's got to be some reason for that. I would much rather trust tons of consistent experienced responses over the response of a few in a forum.
2) Remember that when you ask in a forum like this how people did with a litre bike as their first bike, you're only getting reponses from a few people that were forunate enough to make it. You will rarely hear from the many people that didn't make it. I really wish more people would post about their "incidents" as new riders on big bikes, but I would guess most are embarassed to.
3) Check this thread out over from the cbr600f4i section : http://www.cbrforum.com/m_124205/tm.htm
I'm sure this person knows all the basics on how to ride, will answer perfectly what he should have done given his situation, was positive that he'd be real careful and respect the power of a big sport bike. The problem is that he got into a panic situation that involved an unexpected event. Lack of experience + a big bike caused the accident. I'm glad he's OK, but this would never have happened on a smaller bike.
This is on a 600cc bike! You don't need to be anywhere near 11k rpms to do this on a litre bike... Anyways, just an example of the MANY things that can get you into serious trouble on a larger bike, EVEN if you plan/promise to be safe and respect the bike.
A lot of people say that you'll be fine as long as you take it easy and respect the bike. I say it has some to do with that, but the MAIN argument against getting a bigger bike isn't what you plan on doing with it, it's the unplanned or unexpected things that will cause you to hurt yourself.
Just some things to thinkg about.
g'luck.

zzz11 i dont thing that has any thing to do with the size of the bike im still unsure of what happend in that situation but from my understanding he was in a turn and he shifted into first that acted as an engine break you should NOT BRAKE in turns that could have happend to a 250 nija and as a mater of fact i saw it happen to a 250 at my msf even. and i think people fail to see that even experince riders make mistakes i plan on making alot. but at the same time how could he be respecting the power of that bike at 11k i havent even hit 8 on mine. i belive u can get in just as much trouble with a 250 as a 600 i just belive u should use a little more cuation with the 600. i think people fail to relize that weather you die at 80 miles an hour or 110 your still dead . im not trying to start a fight just give my opion
