FS: 1999 CBR600F4 Streetfighter w/extras - $3K - Ginger - 09-29-2007
![[Image: DSC00998.jpg]](http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k234/asteele2/DSC00998.jpg)
This is a bona-fide streetfighter. It's not a factory fighter and it's not a dumbed down, castrated version of what was once a popular race replica. It's loud, it's fast, and it's damn cool. It's also comfortable to ride.
I started the build from my 1999 CBR600F4 because it was uncomfortable. I was tired of knee cramps and back aches just from my commute. It didn't take long for the project to take on a life of it's own - I wanted it to be... nice. And Right. It grew into more than a more comfortable streetbike; I sorted small detail problems and took my time to make the details right (who in the heck decided it would be a good idea to ship the bike with green fork sliders?). The bike is done right and well sorted. Anybody who has ridden an F4 will tell you that what's left of the original bike, you know, the bike minus the plastics, Honda did right. The F4 is an excellent motorcycle (and the ride of choice in my house: two F4's and an RR between my roommates and I).
Oh, and I've had a Thing for Blitz Black for a couple years now. You won't have to worry about water, sun, or gas damage like you do for traditional satin/flat paints. Blitz Black is an oil based formulation that's as hard as a rock and more chemical resistant than... something really chemically resistant. It's also really easy to touch up.
All the little deatils have been taken care of, too. All the electrics have been lengthened to cope with the higher bars, a gauge cluster added (which has some awesome features: gear indicator, accelerometer, programmable display, programmable shift light, etc.), a larger battery since Honda put in something unbearably small, relocated cables and hoses, and so forth.
I'm selling the bike for a couple of reasons. I'm moving on to a different phase of riding (*cough*BMW*cough) and I'm actually, literally moving. I won't have a garage, just a single parking spot. This, unfortunately means cleaning out the garage of extraneous stuff - and I can't justify owning 3 motorcycles. I'm not letting it go for for dirt - I can fit 2 motorcycles in a parking space if it means not letting the bike go for an insulting amount of money - but I'm willing to talk about the price and what's included in the package. For everything that's included, that's everything in the pictures/what's listed I want $4,000. There are roughly 25,000 miles on the bike... original amount undeterminable since I no longer have the stock gauge cluster. I've seen F4's go to 5 times that and I've got no reason to believe this one won't. For just the bike and no spares I'd be willing to drop the price some. Make an offer if you're interested in that way.

I'm in Falls Church, I work in Vienna and I'm moving to Reston, so you can come look at your leisure. I will not ship the bike. Title in hand, approx. 25,000 miles. Bike is sold as-is. Cash only, please. If you come with a check you'll have to wait until it clears to take the bike. I will not ship the bike to Nigeria with your private shipper. I will not use your Perfectly Safe, Secure, and Excellent escrow administator. Just, you know, honest people only, please.

good luck with the sale man! quite a sexy bike!

Damn...that's awesome. I've been learning to ride on a Honda Rebel, but I bet that thing's just a tad aggressive for a starter bike.
But...

it's just an f4.

Nah, its not that fast. If you've already learned to ride on a smaller bike, it would be fine
- Ginger - 10-02-2007
Prive is a little negotiable - you could manage fine on the bike
- .RJ - 10-02-2007
Its probably as fast as my F3 was, with a better chassis - the wide bars will make it easier to ride too

Special price for MM'ers: everything for $3,500
Price for the bike only: $3,000

Lol, nothing is definite yet! I still need to talk to the insurance office and then price safety gear...which I have NO idea how much to budget for...
And then there's the small issue of needing my motorcycle endorsement on my license.
Ah well, I suppose I could talk to my dad and stash the bike in his garage for the winter while I get my shit together.
How about some "practical" info on the bike? Fuel mileage and maintenance schedules, and any other info a newbie might not know to ask?
- .RJ - 10-04-2007
Insurance will be cheap on those bikes. Gear? Figure spending $400-600. Helmet, gloves, jacket, boots to start with.
It'll get you 45mpg, and CBR's dont need any maintenance other than occasional oil changes - I've had 2 of 'em (F3 and F4i), great bikes
