That was a sexy and solid bike. Too Heavy for such little power output. _____________________________ 2005 CBR600F4I Candy Red/Gray Yoshimura TRS Throttle Rocker Zero Gravity Windscreen GenMar Handlebar Risers HVMP bar ends (long version) 2006 Range Rover HSE 2005 Jaguar S-Type R 2006 Acura RSX Type-S 2005 Scion TC (in reply to RojerLockless) Post #: 17

I know he was a new rider by the way he was jerking the throttle at low speed, and putting around the neighborhood trying to get a feel for it. I though that he had the right idea until on the second day I watched him do a speed run down my street in the early evening when kids are out playing. For reference I usually ride at 25 in 3rd gear when I come down my street (two blocks long) out of respect for my neighbors and the kids. _____________________________ John CBR 600 F4i Built it Frame-up.

My signature says it all. AND BTW, everyone has opinions on what to buy and when. My buying an F4i right out of the gate had nothing to do with ego or anything else. It's what I wanted and what I really learned on and I've not had any accidents and obviously I'm still alive. The power of this bike kept me sane and not doing things like riding beyond my ability. _____________________________ '02 F4i I may not know how to do it, but I still know how to get it done.

RE: What was your 1st street bike? - 8/26/2006 2:19:52 PM    woogie Posts: 425 Joined: 10/22/2005 Status: offline I, like many others started on the F4i. I believe it totally depends on the rider as to whether or not a particular bike is dangerous. If you don't have the maturity and good sense to apply the throttle within your abilities and appropriate to traffic/road conditions, then you will probably kill yourself on/in just about any motorized vehicle. One thing the smaller bikes have going for them is less weight. A low speed mistake can often be saved on a 250cc bike. Making a mistake on an F4i, you had better be fairly big and strong or it's going down - and it's gonna cost you when it does. That said, someone who is cautious and respectful of the bike, it's power and the numerous idiots on the road will likely be OK. That, however, excludes ALOT of people, maybe even most people.

I didnt even know other people that had bikes. i just wanted one because i liked bikes and i thought it would be fun to ride. So I guess it didnt have to do with my ego or anything else other than I wanted to have fun. (in reply to ninetyfivehp) Post #: 23

Once I got the hang of it I was hooked. A great bike to learn on and an all around bike. Someone stole it so I upgraded to the 2001 f4i. _____________________________ it's an obsession, it's a passion, it's an addiction. (in reply to e3gordon) Post #: 28

RE: What was your 1st street bike? - 8/28/2006 5:38:44 PM    snowboarding82 Posts: 1489 Joined: 6/25/2006 Status: offline Oh it was great fun learning how to ride a motorcycle on the way home from the dealership. I thought I was going to turn into oncoming traffic leaving the dealership and crash. Luckily I didn't. I have improved quite a bit and am a much better slow rider now. That's the hardest part I think is riding slow. Riding fast is kind of tough too though. I notice when I pass a car, and when I do it always seems I get up into triple digits, and I'm coming back into my lane the bike is really tough to change lanes. I really have to push and lean hard to get it over. I guess that's to be expected at 100mph though. I love my bike though, but I do kind of wish I got the RR as I hear it is a lot more aggressive and I like taking turns fast! =) Mike (in reply to Funedude05) Post #: 29

RE: What was your 1st street bike? - 8/28/2006 7:03:55 PM    Blackdog F4i Posts: 874 Joined: 7/27/2006 Status: offline Are you counter steering? That makes such a huge difference. You want to talk about funny. I finally got new road tires on my mountain bike. I havent ridden it since I was a teenager. I took it out for a spin down the block to make sure the bike comp I put on it worked. The first turn I naturally leaned/counter steered and almost ended up on my head. I forgot how fast a bicycle will turn. Can't wait to do some training on the mountain bike. _____________________________ John CBR 600 F4i Built it Frame-up.
