72 Norton 750 combat comando. As the officers said,repeatedly... how come you don't even have a permit,registration, tabs???? If Nortys didn't handle so well, I'd been dead. I had no idea how to ride street... so I rode it like my maico(open class mx'r) Wish I had kept that one. Clean and free, Ripp'n

My first bike was a 1983 Honda V45 Magna when I was 17 (18 yrs ago) had a blast on it wheelies, dragging the pegs, dropping it every other weekend, etc, it was so easy to ride and I had no fear or responsibilities back in those days.

My F4i is the first bike I owned, I did MSF then learned a little more on an 05 1000RR, then bought the F4i. There is no doubt that the F4i is an easy bike to ride, but without a doubt can be way to much for a beginner. It can be a good starter bike given the right rider on the right roads, I guess the same could be said about the big RR, motorcycle riding is 90% mental.

Another Katana here. Learned on a mid 80's honda 500 (don't remember what model). Went to Phoenix because I couldn't find a decent used one here. Picked up a '95 Katana 600, new tires, V&H exhaust, K&N, flushmount signals, an all around nice bike. I didn't even have it 6 months and got rear ended by a blue hair in a VW. Went over a year without a bike, then got a '96 Kawi ZX6E, bone stock. Have also had a '84 Honda Shawdow, and a '97 Gixxer 750. I think my F4i has nearly as much power as the Gixxer.

'01 Kawi ex500. Great bike to learn on. I could push it hard, and it did a pretty good job keeping up with the 600's.

MIne was a o1 F4i still have it and I love it. If you come from a riding background (cruiser,dirt, moped, quad) it was a very wasy transition.
