So i am looking at a 2001 f4i 600, its never been in any type of accident. a female owned it previously and hasnt not been able to drive it much in the past few years. it has new tires and such tho. it has 10k miles. and it was just painted flat black because she had it painted pink previously.... (eww) 
she is only asking 3k for it. im having it check out by a local shop that i trust first.
what do you guys think tho?? this will be my first bike btw.
all your info would be great, also post up some pics of any really nice f4i''''s im trying to get some ideas with what i want to do with it.
i think i want to get get some cf vynel graphics, over the matt black, and then have a red and gloss black f4i and honda stickers. and then black wheels with a red time attack

Welcome to the board!  You need to look up Bluefox ... he''s a moderator here and a whiz at bike paint schemes.

So did ya actually hit up Foxy like I suggested or just wait in this area like a simp?  Come on dude ... this is a grown up place ... nobody is gonna hold your hand.  If you want help go to the forum that pertains to your question.

P.S.  Don''''t piss off the Admin

hahahahha. i did look through alot of his threads, and i got alot of ideas. but styling wasnt my only question, if you read my first post you would know that hahaha.
i know how forums work, i have thousands of posts on different car forums.
and all other forums i have been on have been alot more helpful... which is why i was a little dissapointed with there is no responces except for an admin (which i did appriciate your post) but it didnt answer all my questions.
i would really appriciate some more opinions
thanks

I would say welcome mate ... but I am not too sure if that would be quite accurate ??

Ow shit.... I can see chainstretcher reaching for those bloody again keys soon

Hey little dude ... we sortta do not care ?
( no actually , I think I can safely say that no one will give a shit if you have 10,000,000 posts ) on any car forums or if you are the forum master from hell mate ...
a little patients might be in order ....

These guys know their CBR600 stuff ok .. so be nice and you might get a reply to your questions faster ?? hu ?

and bloody hell, how about showing a little respect for older more experience riders, while you are reflecting on you over zealous beginning in here with us mate ...

I think your entry into our happy band of brothers has been, as you put it, an EPIC FAIL
If you ask specific questions relating to your particular ride, we''ll try to assist you, but don''t expect us to hold your little willie when you need to pee.
Your question was -, as I recall
"what do you guys think " ABOUT WHAT ?????
Price?
Condition?
The fact that it had a lady rider and was pink ?
So What ?
If you ask sensible questions, you may get sensible answers, oh and +1 CBR Classic

Gonna hafta take away that ''Welcome Cobber'' moniker if you don''t be nice, Steve 

Now to try and answer your first question ... I guess it could be a fine bike.  It does make me wonder why it got repainted flat black while said pinky still owned it?  $3K for an 01 F4i sounds reasonable with 10K on the clock.

I can''t help you with the pics and ideas though ... gotta browse.  You can go through the previous ROTM threads and get lots of big pics of peeps rides.

thanks chain stretcher.
the reason she had it painted is because she figured it would be hard to sell being pink. and he boyfriend works at a body shop so she had him paint it
do you have a site with different skins?
