F4i was my second bike, I rode it for 6 years and put alot of miles down. I then bought a 1000rr in 07. I just recently returned back to an f4i and realized just how wonderful this bike was. In my opinion, this is one of the best bikes ever made.

This is exactly what I did! I went from a Suzuki GS500F to the F4i, and now to a '11 CBR1K. And I'm looking to get back to the F4i now. It's such a comfy bike for tall dudes (I'm 6'5"), and it's got more power than comparable modern 600s, unless you're getting into the supersports.

Not sure how you do it at 6’5”. I’m just 5’9” and on the newer Cbr600’s the short wheelbase and the seat being so close to the bars, I find it hard to tuck. Is the F4i the same way? I haven’t ridden one.

The CBR600 F4i is actually my first bike. here what I have to say. The F4i is cheap, I paid $1,900 for mine, they are also popular amongst stunters, so when you are ready to sell it for a different bike, the market will be there. A 300 CC bike is wonderful, however I know I would out grow it quickly. The good thing about the F4i, it is actually somewhat forgiving. The heap of the power isn't made until the top end of the RPM range. If you take it slow, know your limits and respect the bike, the CBR600 F4i is a great beginner bike. Remember this bike take a level of maturity. If you are a need for speed type of person, wait a couple of years until you grow out if it. (I am speaking from experience) So if you are considering this bike as your first, don't hesitate.

Hey man I know I'm late but this summer I'm planning on purchasing my first bike. I have plenty of dirt bike experience under my belt so I feel as long as I can keep in mind the capabilities of the bike and refrain from being stupid on it, i feel like i could learn to ride on an F4i. I have been seeing them on craigslist and facebook for some good deals. Very excited.

I've had this bike for 10 years and, even though other bikes have come and gone, this one has stayed with me. I love this bike. Fast, comfortable, and linear power band. Fast enough that I still haven't felt like I've outgrown it, but forgiving enough that this is the bike my wife learned on. Now we both ride it and love it. Good review.

i have my F4i sport bike and i love it, maybe i see in my opinion that it's more better than the 600rr one the F4i is more stable and better handling at the corners, the 600rr better for it's acceleration and hoursepower but the F4i is more Chilly bike, that will always be my comfort one. *** i think for any beginners to use the F4i as there first bike but at the same time must be careful, responsible and know ur limit.. this bike got a huge power and can be great one if you can handle it and get use to it. i love mine the red&black F4i

This was my first sport bike. Im 57 and rode since about 10 years old. I wanted a VFR750 800 but did not find a decent used one . I took it to the Track already took a lesson and laid it down on the 6th lap. Still don't know why it lowsided. I felt perfectly relaxed thru the 180 hairpin. I probably overolled the throttle. But could have been a dozen other reasons. Had bikes all around me in the turn another went down to my high side.....So, I have put 3500 miles in 7 weeks on this 06 that cost $3800 with only 11k on it. Looked new. It was well cared for. So I can go about 2.5 hours before hips cramp up. Im 6' 2" 190lbs so it just barley fits me. Great bike I think it would be to much for a first time rider. Unless you are very respectful of 105hp and the shitstorm u can get into on this or any bike . I been to 167mph, in thin air of Colorado.. STUPID, on mine with a little throttle left. But, had to see if I had a breaking point for fear. I don't. So, that could get me into trouble . Glad I got full leathers and armour. I am sure I will be down again as long as I keep trying to go faster on the track.. Planning on doing more track days and race style riding. Would like to ride an RR to see how much less comfortable the RR CBR is.

I got an F4i recently too and it had a bunch of ghetto jimmie rigged stuff done to it and a bunch of cheap ebay parts installed on it that the guy did himself. It was really dirty and sticker bombed and abused. I've been commuting with her and taking care of her and cleaning her up and removing all the cheap aftermarket stuff and getting OEM Honda parts reinstalled. She's coming back together nicely. She cleans up nice and I'm getting tons of compliments everywhere I go

Definitely not a beginner's bike. This thing in the hands of an inexperienced rider would be a disaster. Safe riding everyone.

Where did you go? This is a great review. Other considerations of an f4i is how heavy are you factory they are sprung for a rider about 150lbs. Swap out the springs in the forks and while you’re there go for the race tech gold valves. The rear spring is obsolete but race tech does sell a conversion spring plate to get you into customizable springs. This video is spot on about the cam chain tensioner but keep a sniff of your oil. If your oil is smelling like gas and the exhaust is rich your fuel pressure regulator has died. I have gone through two. Other than that this bike and engine is second to none. The engine was so good that when the 600rr came out they used the same engine. If deep into triple digits isn’t your thing and you don’t care about a little buzz on the highway I highly recommend dropping one tooth on the front sprocket ⚙️ if you do you will need a speedo healer to recalibrate the speedometer but power wheelies will come effortlessly in first and slight clutch will lift and carry the front wheel in second. I have really shocked a few newer sport bikes that think they are going to walk on the old cbr. Eventually they will after 120mph but they are going to have to work at it.

This was my first bike, picked up a 2006 F4i from a buddy I worked with for 2800. I honestly believe this is the perfect starter bike. It really is fast as fuck but still some what forgiving. The statement "bullet proof" is very accurate. I abused the absolute heck out of her the first year and have stored her outside mutliple winters, every single spring she starts right up with zero issues. It really is incredible. One thing to note is that there is no gear indicator other than neutral and no fuel level indicator until you hit reseve limits. Its a no nonsense tough sport bike that will really force you to learn every feeling along the way. Which I feel is a great way to learn.

Scored on a beautiful, almost perfect 2001 F4i guy had taken very good care of and stored in a garage. This is my first bike ever. Drove it home. Only killed it once and was smiling the entire way home. The bike gave me so much confidence, I would recommend to anyone. Plan to put a walk around video on my channel. Thanks for making this review, it definitely helped me learn more about this bike before purchasing.

I have had my F4i for 4 years now. Same as yours! Red and black with the split seat. I oddly enough have the same exhaust. I cut 7in off the exhaust a year ago and I ordered extra badges from Yoshi. If you want a new plate I am sure I can dig one out of the parts closet and send it your way. DM me if you want one. Fantastic video. I love the style of the video. Great use of graphics for the panning specs shot. Really good pace throughout the vid as well! Shiny side up bro.

An outstanding video! I have a 95 f3! Traded it for my bmw on the 4th of July. All it took was one ride on my girls ninja 400 for m to get a rocket. Also have a 95 Honda shadow vlx vt600cd.. but yeah, the car needed like 3k in work. Apparently the first owner “dropped the bike”, on both sides!!! Smh. The damage is actually not hat bad of the left side. Right side is ehhh. But the bike would stall when put into gear and had a loud ticking from the right side of the motor. It was a super easy fix. Side stand switch wasn’t even plugged into its other half and so that fixed the stalling🤷🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️ and then I ordered the APE adjustable cam chain tensioner and boom 🤯 this thing is an absolutely beast! Pulls strong, decent amount of torque for sure. My speedometer reads 15 mph off though. Idk why? Maybe sprockets had been swapped? One day I swear it read 165 170 but it’s just impossible to look at your speed on the F3. Dash lights aren’t that strong and the numbers are to small imo. Still a great bike

And just one great all arounder.. I added saddle bags (custom mounts) bar risers, Corbin seat and various other bits and it’s nothing to put down 250+ miles a day over multiple day trips while still clutching up a 2nd gear wheelies and carving up some roads when conditions allow. On a side note 520 chain conversion and aluminum rear sprocket with +2 teeth does wonders for the old f4i and will let it the front wheel salute off of power in first gear at 8k rpm. Gearing will also let you hang with modern 600s till the speeds get questionable by any sane person with the trade off being top speed. which to be honest is really rare to play with on the street anyways.

Yep cant get over too far over without dragging pegs and boots but it is respectable medium track ride. Great it Canyons, comfortable for hours. I need to upgrade to braided brake lines, got the shorrty levers and damper on.... stock exhaust is bulky , banna seat is great...at 6 2 I can stretch a little on long straight tuck. I really think its a good inexpensive ride ...mine is 06 Yellow can se me coming a long way off. Video is right on. My top end exceeds 165 mph easy but only once on the open interstate I routinely hit 135 thru my tracks longest straight coming through turn 11 to turn 1 at about 65 mph. So 65 to 135 in about 6 seconds set up for a long right at about 80mph it is plenty for an old guy but need more lean. Second bike coming this spring.

Haven't been able to find a bike that's out there now that has the combination of performance, adjustability, sport styling, and comfort (well, unless I'm up for spending 13K for an Aprilia, etc.) that has that combo the way the F4i I sold 4 years ago has. So I just bought another one. Luckily found one that was a garage queen and in pristine conditions. Lots of fun riding ahead. Oh, and don't forget the F4i electronics: high beam!

Same as most bikes, look for signs of being laid down at speed, long scratches on fairings, bar ends, pegs, etc. Leaky front forks, radiator dings or leaks, rear shock condition. Any electrical issues, lights, blinkers, starting up. Tire/chain condidition can be an indicator of how well or not the bike was taken care of. Good luck! Hope you take the MSF course or consider a smaller CC bike as your first tho.

Just bought my 3rd bike. Started on a Rebel 250, then upgraded to an 883 Sportster, finally a Katana 600. If I can get through two seasons without killing myself on this thing, an F4i is hopefully going to be the last bike I ever buy.

The split seat vs what you call the "banana" seat is not due to the year of the bike. They were available at the same time. The model you have with the split seat is actually a slightly different model called the F4i FS, which also features stronger valve springs.

I have a 2006. 32000 miles. Bulletproof is a good description, other than chain, sprockets, tires, oil, nothing has needed fixing. Down 1 on the front sprocket is how it's geared now. Down 1 Up 2 was a bit too much of a good thing.

It was my first bike the only other thing I had ever ridden was a ttr125 and not very much I noticed it wasn’t very hard for me to learn I think it mostly had to do with knowing how to drive a manual transmission car

Damn dude nice video, great editing and you’ve got a great voice for this style of video keep it up man I could see this channlebdoing well if you tried to pump out videos more often and more consistently. I just got hit by some lady on my r6 a few days ago and my bike is most likely gonna be totaled out by insurance so I’ve been looking for a new bike to get cause not riding the last few days has been rough:/ I found a 2005 f4i with 3500 miles for that is suuuopper clean for only 3200 bucks almost sounds too good to be true lol the bike looks brand new so I’m gonna go check it out the owner is a chick probably just too much power for her I’m assuming cause only 3500 miles on a 2005 shit I’ll more than double that in a few months give the bike a life it deserves

Hi, I've been riding my F4i for allmost a year now. And I've spend an equal amount of time looking for a plate eliminator. Which one do you have?

It's a custom one I built myself, pretty basic bracket with an LED strip over the top. Wish I could point you in a better direction.

Sorry for the late replay, but yes I found it on Ebay years ago. It has a terrible name... It was a "Pimpbike Undertail" but I cannot find it anywhere these days. I had to spray paint it black, but it did integrate nicely with the stock tail light.
