very nice! lol, something about those spokes is making me trip though.... oh and, how you supposed to fit a lady on that? lol. and finally, how does she feel handling and then torque curve wise compared to the R1? are you satisfied?

Comes with a rear seat too but still not a very good 2-up bike. Oh well, I prefer chicks that ride their own bikes anyway. Alot more low-end torque than my R1 had and I think the handling is more nimble also. Bike feels very light!

Beautiful bike, everything about it is perfect. The lines, the color, and of course the name. Gotta love the Single sided swing arm! Makes me want to get rid of my F4i and go order one right now, congrats!


Oh and that bike, really only was built with one person in mind. And that's how it should be. As you said chicks with their own bikes = way hotter.

Yeah the CBR600s are sweet bikes. I used to have a '95 F3....that bike was a hoot in the twisties. Very easy to ride.

I agree chicks that ride are hot....I had a g/f friend that rode an R6....but then she got knocked-up (not by me) and she doesn't ride anymore. She was actually pretty good, even the occasional wheelie....

i almost had an F2 OLD SCHOOL YO! but i did actually own a ZX6 but it was also an early 90's bike i think 92 the F2 was a 93 maybe.... they were fun actually liked teh way they handled and were real mellow, very awsome bike to learn to lean on.
