you could do
Engine Internals. [ Pistons / Cam shafts / Head porting ] not something everyone can do , i know i cant :) avg cost your looking at 500- 5000 dollars
you could slap a turbo on it :P 3500 + bucks
Nitrous ?

Seriously, the F4i is still a very fast bike. Engineers spent alot of time and work designing your bike for the best performance. If you really want more speed than 150+ mph. Save your money and invest into a 1000RR or even a Hayabusa 1300. But I personally don''t go over 100 very often, its fun but I know I can do it. Most of my fun is zipping around town.

Oh, thats easy, change out your sprockets and chain. stock is 16/46 teeth. Take it to a 15/46 and you will see your low end increase.

well you could do some mods to the engine thats going to give ya some more power . but can shorten your engine life :P

you could always get some new rims :) its like putting your bike on a diet, you get some more speed by dropping weight

How about setting-up suspension correctly and some trackdays like California Superbike school?

yes i think the penske shock, 929 front end, 600rr swingarm, adjustable rearsets are the best performance upgrades in term of performance....

Ya def suspension upgrade before touching ur engine. But u can spend 5k alone in that. Look into making her better not more powerful cuz ur bikes gotta be able to handle the power u put into it
