I just bought another...

I'm preparing for the summer a little early this year. To show off my love for summer I traded my 2001 CBR600F4i Silver/Black bike for this one...

2002 CBR600F4i

It's almost the same bike except for the 2001 models didn't have this color. :D

Me and a few buddies are road tripping our bikes out to Laguna Seca, CA this summer.

Thanks to my cousin who co-owns a Honda shop. I'll get to bring it home tommorrow and test it out. Burrr...it's still 30-40 degree weather here in the Midwest.

I saw a bike on the street facing my office yesterday :eek:

We haven't had much od a winter in Montreal this year, but that's just nuts!

That'a a very nice piece of machinery, BTW.

What is the top speed you've reached on it?

What out for that chicane in Laguna Seca. I hear it can be tough to stay on if you enter too fast. Are you going to drive Laguna Seca, or just drive out there? Either way, that's a sweet bike.

That's 30-40F...which is around -2C to 3C

Right now, here in Altoona, it's 9F (-13C)

Hmmm, Honda, now they know how to build bikes :) Ride my old man's old 250 from time to time and that kicks my CZ severly.

Still holding out for that Electraglide myself though. Maybe one day...

Cool. Friend of mine just had to have a leg amputated due to a crash (him crashing) with one of these crotch rocket death machines.

They do look cool though and I do understand the "need for speed" thing. Just be careful.

You and the other 1000 people that have told me stories about bike wrecks. I'm not a speed demon or wheely rider. Those types give motorcycles and all other ATV's a bad rep. If you know how to drive on the streets and highways the proper way then not much can happen to you.

Tips:

Always ride on the far right side of the lane.
Always make sure drivers can see you, do not ride in their blind spot, ride in their line of sight. And if you live in a busy city try and avoid traffic and especially at rush hour. If possible don't be the first to pull out from a stop light.

No thankyou. You can keep that cold weather. Here in Memphis we temps of that sort about once every three to four years or so.

Dude...read "A twist of the wrist" by Keith Code or watch the video.
I don't know how many times I've read the book or watched the video now and I've gained new knowledge each time.
To give you some background on my current knowledge, I've ridden a <a href="http://www.stickytyres.com/buckets/" target="_blank">Bucketracing</a> bike for 10 or so years, roadbikes 5+ years(~120,000km on twisty roads) and I've ridden a CBR400 around a track with a lap record of 1 minute 12 seconds in 1 minute 18 seconds in the only session(10 laps) I had out there.
In my experience, most car drivers suck bad and should be impounded or avoided at all costs.

Got approved through Honda just the other day....
I'm just waiting for the weather to warm up a bit and then this is mine!
