I got one a year ago. I was originally looking for a 600rr but came across the f4i thinking I was settling for it. It has been an absolute blast to ride and I love it. Saved some money going with the f4i instead too. Its also my first bike.
I have owned my 600 F4I since 2006 16 years. Only 9240 mileage on it I’ve rode all over California & Nevada 350 mile days. Absolutely Amazing Going from Yosemite Park all the way west straight to the Pacific Ocean in Monterey in 1- day I believe I was getting over 60 MPG. At 85-80 mph. Just Incredible. I Love It. So smooth & quiet lots of power. From Monterey all the way back down South to Los Angeles on Highway 1 was Spectacular. My leg did cramp up half way threw & I needed a new rear tire it was bald. Hahahahaha. I just filled up today at Shell. $6.50 a gal. 3.4 gal. Top off. $21.97. For all that mileage & fun it’s Totally worth it. Thank You So Much for this Review Cheers 🍻
I hav a 02 f4i 23,000 miles runs good my first real bike i like how it handles alot of fun alot of power as well and quite yes i hav stock exhaust . Added with ear plugs and helmet , very quiet
I have a silver 2001 version. I work very hard to keep it prestine! Not a mark on it. The thing can take what ever you put towards it and keeps coming back for more. Love it.
I'm 5,9 and have to sack the tank in order to ride it comfortably(except for the groin of course). I think the earlier models were a tad more upright, like the original Hurricane up to F3. The original Hurricane was made more like an all purpose sports tourer instead of a fully fledged race bike. The F4i is probably the last bike with comfort in mind before the RR models ditched it completely in favor of performance.
I just got one of these 4 weeks ago... Silver and Red. Just learning how to ride. The seller asked 3700 for it. It has about 2700+ mi on it. It's a 2002 and it is in amazing shape. Unmolested. It has a coffemen short pipe on it which makes it look great. I have been parking lot training with it. Going to do my full maintenance checks on it. Fluids, tires, spark plugs, coolant, Stuff like that. Adding a gear indicator, chain and sprocket change (Stock sizes, stock Pitch). As a new rider the bike may be a bit too much for a starter bike as it has lots of power(to me) it can bite you I feel. I sweat bullets each time I Ride it. I do gear up fully so Hopefully I have the aptitude to ride this thing. Signing up for the MSF. All in all its a sweet bike. Thanks for the review. It's Awesome to know you guys are in Richmond. Gonna have to drop by. Heck I may have sell this bike to you guys if I can't get it and bail on motocyle riding.
@@meemee8041 Lol wish that was true... I dont ride it much and it's scary to me . I down graded some cc's to a 1972 Honda CB350. Much better bike for a beginner for sure . A 600 was a little too much for me and my skill level. One thing I had drilled into my head in flight school was decision making. Know when you are beaten as nothing beats knowing. So for now that little monster is in storage until I figure out if this motorcyclething is for me.
@@stonemanmotorsports wish I had the split seat, I have the banana seat unfortunately, same color bike as yours though and it’s my first. Plenty of fun for a first bike.
@@HayesTransport The F4i could be a keeper for sure! Tons of power and lots of fun. You can always keep an eye on Ebay and the local marketplace to see if you can find the split seat. Ride Safe man!!
I brought a Honda VTR1000f when I couldn't get a 8th VFR800F. I missed out looking at this model as I thought most CBR600's a had race track seating position.
@@obeii1805 Since you’re in your 40’s you might have some throttle discipline. I’d do some motorcycle courses first then decide on your decision. I’d go for the VFR800 as the riding position isn’t as harsh on your wrists riding around town.
@@Desertduleler_88 I took the safety course have my license just went electric but I see ice is the more practical bikes especially for highway. I may get a 2024 390 Duke to get use to clutch but I know I’ll outgrow it fast
I'm sorry for the delay in responding. I'm 6'7". All sport bikes feel small, but not uncomfortable. I don't think I'd be riding 500 miles on it and not complaining at some point, but that's not really what sport bikes are about anyway.
I was right about to get one but waited a smidge and got a gen 1 CBR. Both great bikes. It was my first real bike and actually made it look like I knew what I was doing 🤣 🏍️ 💀💀💀
Random question, I'm looking forward to buy this bike, but I like seeing the exhaust under the seat like the CBR600RR, is it possible to do that modification on this bike?
I think where there's a will, there's a way. You'd be looking at a good bit of custom exhaust work and then custom rigging to the undertail for mounting. You've got to keep in mind that the bikes with undertail exhaust have heat shielding to keep the heat off the exhaust from burning all the components above it. I don't think they make a kit to convert it, but I'm not 100% sure on that either. That being said, I love a nice undertail exhaust...and on an F4i, I can only imagine how sweet that'd be.
I generally ride whatever we have in inventory at the moment. I only have 2 bikes that I have kept off market. One is an old Harley Shovelhead and the other is an '06 Yamaha yz250.

This specific bike had one that was included in the sale. It was preowned and installed by the former owner. We weren't trying to imply that it was a Honda factory installed Ram Mount... But maybe they should consider it...
@@stevecariggillio4139 what’s the model name? All ram mount is trash in my experience. If it had any implementation of the little X arms design then it’s trash
A fully faired f4i, looking that clean and non stunted, is a gem
I have a grey 2001, no stunt junkie with 17000 miles.

Just bought this last january and its a good bike to ride
They are great bikes and a blast to ride. Thanks for watching!
How much did you pay for the buy if u dont mind i am asking
A 2006 f4i was my first bike. I purchased it used in 2008 with just a couple thousand miles. I regret selling it to this day.
Ride safe
How much did you pay?
Just put deposit down on an absolutely mint f4i, cannot wait to get it out and stretch its legs. Great review

Always loved the f4i
How do you see this bike for a 6.6ft person? You look tall in the video, does it make you uncomfortable to ride?
I'm sorry for the delay in responding. I'm 6'7". All sport bikes feel small, but not uncomfortable. I don't think I'd be riding 500 miles on it and not complaining at some point, but that's not really what sport bikes are about anyway.
Where did you get the rear seat cover for this model of motorcycle?
swapped rear end ? split seat is only from 2001 - 2003
2006? Cant be I have a 2002 f4i
That's correct. The previous owner removed the banana seat and set it up with the split seat. He didn't like the look of the banana seat.
What did you use to hold the exhaust pipe????
About to pick this bike up in a day or so. Can the banana seat be converted?
The bike in the video has been converted. Subframe, tail fairing, and seats can be swapped between the first and last three years.
I was right about to get one but waited a smidge and got a gen 1 CBR. Both great bikes. It was my first real bike and actually made it look like I knew what I was doing 🤣 🏍️ 💀💀💀
Is that the original tail?
Lookin at gettin one now, subscribed!
