Like to say hello to all here. Just picked up a 04 600 F4i in black and yellow. 42 years old and my first bike. Dont know why I waited so long. Oh yes, thats right, it had somthing to do with my wife saying NO BIKE for the last 20 years. Glad she got over it.

*zfrilly2* · 04-27-2007, 11:46 PM

Gald she got over it too, sone she'll want a ride. Have fun, as I'm sure you know, be CAREFULL. Have you ever ridin before?

to the boards, glad to hear that she finally gave in.... I was riding long before I met mine so she never had a say in that but man does she hate that I spend money on it all the time, it's almost the equivalent to her shoe fetish thing

Heh, just wait til she gets jealous and starts acting like you are cheating on her every time you go for a ride. But otherwise...welcome!

oh and she will to, before to long it'll seem like she's trying to compete with the bike for attention, I've had it happen before and it's funny as hell

Thanks guys. This is the first sport bike I have owned. Have had lots of saddle time over the years on dirt bikes and quads and being from Minnesota I have been tearing it up in the north woods on sleds for many years. Sleds are my first love but this little honda really rips. Later!

welcome to you. i to have 2004 cbr 600 f4i and it is my first bike ever. got this bike from a young kid who was getting into drifting and needed the money to by his drifting car, so i got a great deal on a bike that has many custom features added to it. i am 54 and am having the time of my life riding because of of my oldest son who is 29. he got my youngest son (24) and i involved and we thank him for this. we all took the motorcycle safety class and all have sport bikes. would have it no other way. my harley friends think that i am crazy to have a sport bike. btw, my wife is a nurse and is supporting our venture. i love her dearly. we have friends that are doctors and nurses and have heard all of the stories. you know what i mean. it is crazy. but you only live once. be safe on the road my friend.

welcome from the great state of michigan! (*crickets*)

don't be mislead into thinking that bike is a "little bike". it may be a lower end model, but it ain't little!

respect it and have fun and stay safe homie!
