I know. Its ****ing rediculus how much these things go for. Mine is very low mileage though so when it comes time to sell I'll get at least my money out of. Getting a new upper faring, then repainting the rest. I'm going to start working on it tomorrow. Repainting everything black and then getting white decals. Should be tits. Paint thread should be established sooner or later.

(unless of course like in your case, you dont mind the bike being laid down a time or two before you buy it)

The resale goes both ways. Last time I checked high resale is a good thing. Look at the Honda f series styling over the past 15 years, it terms of styling they are light years ahead. Lets not forget before the RR's came out that the F4i was Honda's premier sport bike. Just a couple of reasons for good resale. Ricer boys.....yup got me there.

Not sure what faster your getting for the price, it depends a lot more on your area. I didnt mind something with damage because I have access to a shop and boothe.

It's all good man.. as much as I bash Hondu, I'd LOVE to have a 954RR.

Like 50 bucks on eBay and taking the gas tank and fairings off. Take an hour or two at most. I thought you had a bike?

RB · July 22nd, 12:51 AM

My brother upgraded to a Brand new Gixxer 1000 right when the snow melted. I've been riding his 600 since, and paying for insurance, and the last 3 payments he had on it. Now that its paid off, he's happy enough to have someone to ride with 24/7 that he's letting me ride it as long as I want.

I do feel like **** when I really get on it, because it is his investment. He didnt care that when I laid it down (Not my fault, but sucked none the less). It did a little to the upper fairing, and I had them all replaced, repainted and restickered. Im just looking for a bike to myself so that I can get my brother all the cash he wants to build his chopper he's been working on.

Anyways, I found a 2004 R6 with 6k on it for $2500 OBO, offered him 2k and im going to look at it tommorow.

the styling over the past 15 years has changed slim to none and is just typical over flashy honda styling, the rr has been out just as long as the f4i (beginning in '01, not as long as the entire f series obviously, but the older f series bikes are slow in comparison)..i'll stand by my statement about the ricer boys... and to prove it to yourself, walk up to some dude driving a honda civic with a fart can and some ugly graphics and ask him what bike he'd get (guaranteed a honda)

a new f4i retails for 8.5k, so lets say 9k after taxes

my 650 retails for 6.3k which is 6.7 after taxes

my 650>f4's and f4i's (track proven under normal rider and riding circumstances, not professionals testing a bike for a magazine numbers..)

sure, my resale's lower, but it's also a cheaper bike to begin with...not only that, it's an inline twin, with way less HP, and it's actually comfortable to ride

No, they started making the RR's in 03 and how the **** is Honda overly flashy, they are ****ing sport bikes. Thats like saying a Ferrari is overly flashy.

..i'll stand by my statement about the ricer boys... and to prove it to yourself, walk up to some dude driving a honda civic with a fart can and some ugly graphics and ask him what bike he'd get (guaranteed a honda)

I'm having trouble with a rebuttal to this statement. It is so completely unfounded, presumptuous, and stupid that I'm also at a loss of words. Thats like saying you wouldn't drive a Honda because people rice them out regardless of their great gas mileage, resale, reliability, and cheap insurance. You automatically link people in riced out Hondas to a sport bike which is complete and total different breed. Why the hell would I care what a person in rice burner has to say anyway as they most likely don't know ****. In fact they would probably say they'd take a Busa.

a new f4i retails for 8.5k, so lets say 9k after taxes

There is no such thing as a new F4i as they discontinued them?

my 650 retails for 6.3k which is 6.7 after taxes

Who buys new bikes anyway?

my 650>f4's and f4i's (track proven under normal rider and riding circumstances, not professionals testing a bike for a magazine numbers..)

I don't see what is being proven with that statement. That makes no sense. Since when is track riding normal riding circumstances. So your saying that the 650r is proven to be faster by amateur speculation. Or are you telling me that the 650r is superior because its limits are more geared to a street setting?

sure, my resale's lower, but it's also a cheaper bike to begin with...not only that, it's an inline twin, with way less HP, and it's actually comfortable to ride

To start off I didn't want a newer bike. Inline twin, psh. Your also technically comparing an R type bike to a non type R. My bikes plenty comfortably, it has much more of an upright ride than SS's.

My opinion of your opinion is disintegrating. If Honda wanted to make a bike to compete with the 650r, believe me I'm sure they would, but guess what they don't have too. They can make the RR, beat out the 650R with no problem, and sell it for more.

Pull your head out your ass, learn something about the bull**** you spew, then come back and we'll have a discussion.

**1337** · July 25th, 04:12 AM

I'd rather have an f4i then a 650R.

Jus sayin.

**HuNtS** · July 25th, 05:26 AM

okay, so i see you've turned into the typical my bikes better than anything out there because it's a honda bike owner so i'm just going to stop talking..

basically you've fallen into the idiot group and i'm done with this thread

until honda adds vtec to their ss bikes, they wont recieve and loving from me..

oh, and just for fun

inline twin yields more torque and better midrange power than your inline 4 and sounds much better, no, it doesnt have much more of an upright position and isnt comfortable.. you dont know what comfort is until you've been on something other than your own ride...

so basically you just contradicted your statement in the previous sentence by comparing the rr to the 650.. who would've thought a more powerful rr bike would be more expensive than a standard plain old sport bike? surely not me...

Pull your head out your ass, learn something about the bull**** you spew, then come back and we'll have a discussion.

god forbid i might forget that since you've been riding for like ten minutes in comparison to half the poeple on here you know way more than anybody else... i do apologize immensely...

talk to me when you get over your honda head, your balls drop, and you have a little bike experience...

The inline twin part was a joke. Way to pick it up. More of your bull**** speculation, good job.

I didn't contradict ****. My point is that Honda doesn't have to **** around with competing (Because your 650r is such and incredible machine it just dominates the F4i) with the 650R because the RR is faster in every way, and they can make more money off of it. If this makes me sound like a fanbody then sweet. I'm not brand loyal to Honda by any means, but I'm not some whiny ***** either because I was too cheap to buy a real "type R" bike.

god forbid i might forget that since you've been riding for like ten minutes in comparison to half the poeple on here you know way more than anybody else... i do apologize immensely...

Yeh you may been riding for long than me. But the squid here has handed you your ass on a silver platter. Your ignorance is never ending. Why are you comparing me to everybody else on here? I don't claim to know more than everybody on the forum but its obvious I know more than you. The only person arguing with me is YOU. Nothing I have said is incorrect, while I have corrected you numerously.

I didn't turn this into anything. Are you ****ing serious? The first thing you ****ing did was come on my facebook and say that my F4i was FTL. **** you. Your the one who said your bike was faster with nothing to back it up except bull****. Then you say that your bike is more comfortable, and I tell you that the F4i is more comfortable and upright than the super sports which it is and you keep talking ****. Have you ridden an F4i? I'm sure your sport bike must be luxury vehicle?

basically you've fallen into the idiot group and i'm done with this thread
b

Yes please get the **** out of my thread because your a goddamn moron and you piss me off.

talk to me when you get over your honda head, your balls drop, and you have a little bike experience...

Grow the **** up. Honestly.

I reiterate. Pull your head out your ass, learn something about the bull**** you spew, then come back and we'll have a discussion.

Did you know that if it isn't a Suzuki, it's complete garbage? Suzuki is the only good bike. GSX-Rs are the only bike worth having. Suzuki owners like to do reach arounds on each other after a long day of intense riding. Hondas, Kawasakis, and Yamaha's are all ****ing gay. GSX-R is the only good sport bike period. Everything else is crap.

Only squids rider GXR-Rs.

lawls... in no way did i say my 650's gods gift to mankind however it's like comparing a lower horsepower n/a car to a higher horsepower f/i car... two completely different classes of vehicles correct?

lets take say a probe GT, and a cobalt SS for example.. you just paid upwards of 22k for your nice supercharged cobalt SS with just over 200 ponies under the hood, and forced induction, and joe schmoe over here paid 16k for his brand new ford probe that he randomly found somewhere (i'm aware they arent made new anymore, so you dont have to correct me on that

) complete with a nice rubber intake tube and a box with a paper filter at the end. pushing nearly 50 ponies less at 160. guess what!? the probe's faster!

now, what i fail to see (and my whole origin of dislike towards any fxx honda bike) is where we get the satisfaction out of paying out the ass for a vehicle that's slower than something of a lesser (or not as performance based) class...

here's where i'll reinstate the fact that i'm aware you did not pay out the ass, but remember, your plastics are ****ed up as well.

NOW we have you showing off the bike. not a problem at all, a bikes a bike, i'm cool, i made a thread too as i'd expect anyone to. i just dont like hondas. you feel the need to call me out in the thread and push the fact that hondas are this and this blah blah blah.

which brings me to my next point.

if i started a thread saying:

finally got my new car!

hey guys! i finally got my new car! it's a 1999 3000GT, it was only $4,000! it needs a little work, but it's got low miles and when it comes time to sell, the resale's great (which as of the last time i checked, 3k gt's have rediculous resale although with gas prices i may be wrong) and so i should get my moneys worth! anyways on to the pics!

.

are we finally recieving my point? at all? anybody?
