no one loves me???

**m8intl** · 07-19-2007, 11:13 PM

F4s are sick bro, and Honda sure knows how to make solid bikes! I have a 600rr myself. You'll love your F4, and it should be pretty reliable, as long as it was maintained, even with high mileage. Ride safe.

Nice wheels, take it easy on it though...

**5ifthCitizen** · 07-19-2007, 11:45 PM

Have you ever ridden? A 600 is plenty fast. Even an old 500ex/500r puts up 0-60 times of 4 seconds. The F4 is more than enough bike, and it's significantly more rider friendly than a litre bike. What's more, new riders who climb on ZX10s, R1s, etc. tend to crash pretty quick and more than a few die. Besides, I smoke litres in the twisties on my 600.

Would you learn to drive in a porsche turbo or a ferrari 360? Well, his F4 is faster than either one.

**5ifthCitizen** · 07-20-2007, 12:42 AM

haha dude chill. im just sayin (as somebody who craves speed and adrenaline to no end) he would want a 1000cc eventually. of course 600s are good to start with, i told him it was a good choice for a starter bike. most smart people do choose 600s to start. and yes i do ride. i have a yamaha r6.

and in reference to this comment: Would you learn to drive in a porsche turbo or a ferrari 360

i actually learned how to drive in a 350hp camaro ss stick shift that can keep up with most porches....so what u gotta say now?

**Renesis** · 07-20-2007, 02:31 AM

At least he smells better than you do :P Anyways nice bike man, im dying to get an r6. Yeah def be careful driving that thing especially here on long island... people drive like maniacs including me ^_^

**number twelve** · 07-20-2007, 09:24 AM

haha thanks for all the responses guys

im startin to get worried tho he was supposed to drop off the bike today on a trailer and i was gonna give him money today, but i havent heard from him yet so i dont know what the deal is... : (

**UberSteroids** · 07-20-2007, 10:06 AM

Nice bike man! F4s are sweet. Now that's a deal! I think it is a good choice for a 1st bike.
Maybe we should race ?

Remember, respect the power!

Stay safe,
Uber

Actually an F4 tops out in the 160's both cars are much faster. So pull your panties out of the bunch they are in.

Yuo can compare bikes to cars.

And most people who get 600 and ride with other bikes alot wish they had something bigger.

My first bike was a 97 F3, Good luck with it i'm sure you will love it

**number twelve** · 07-20-2007, 12:10 PM

**Big** · 07-20-2007, 06:16 PM

I didn't mean top end. I meant off the line. A newish 600 is faster than both those cars off the line, say 0-100.

Do a track day on a 600 and tell me you've outgrown it.

You get in many track days, because if not, I highly doubt you can hang.

0-100 yea. i bet most guys cant launch their bike hard of the line and either one of those cars would take it.

Yes 600's are fast on the track. 99% of riders aren't on the track. and my rode isn't a track. There are a lot more straight aways and less chicanes in my neighborhood. So yes 600's get left from the pack on the streets.

I'm more into drag racing. I'd give you ten bike lengths and the brake and I'll hunt you down and blow pass you on my 750
