2006 Honda CBR600F4i. . As of today it has 297 miles on it, about 300 more until break in.

I love the bike, only real complaint is the seat is a bit hard, but Corbin seat will be on the way next month hopefully.

Man that's a nice bike, I love that yellow.

And I would LOVE to see you restore that Enduro. It'd be AWESOME!

nice bike.

only thing i don't like on its look is the seats. i like the older F4i seat when it was a 2 piece.

congrats! :D

do you plan on doing anything to it? cosmetic and performance?

the yellow is nice, it stands out. . at first i wanted an all black bike, but now that i have a bright colorful one, im glad i got it. .its just alot more noticable :)

The enduro (bless its heart) has taken enough abuse over the years. It was my dads, passed on to his little brother, passed on to my oldest brother and passed on to me lol .... never really thought about restoring it, but it would be a fun project to consider :wink:

ive only been riding on the street for a little over 2 weeks, i havent even been able to take the MSF course yet. . so a little more experience, and confidence then we can start talking performance and such :mrgreen:

immediate plans for it are all cosmetic though, im going to get a Corbin seat, and change out the turn signals, i think the stock blinkers are butt ugly

hey man, we gotta start somewhere right :P

right now, im just practicing basics ya know. . counter steering, slow riding, turning, hard breaking. . .stuff like that.

I havent really felt the full power of this bike, i havent had it over 5k RPMs yet due to break in. But even after break in i plan on playing it safe for a long time. Im taking my time with it and being easy

suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure... i believe you. :wink:

:laughing:


i forgot to mention... you should install some frame sliders on your bike. they don't add beauty but they can prevent even more damage in case you drop your bike. just trust me on this, i know very well what im talking about. :mrgreen: :oops:

I disagree.

They are uglier than sin and can cause frame damage instead of a few scratches.
