The F4i is being discontinued instead of revamp
It's a very sad day... What will replace a cheap, comfortable alternative to the 600rr now?

I know the sales were probably way down but no **** since they introduced the banana seat and never upgraded anything. They need to make an 05 revamp for next year or in 2 years.

where did you read it was discontinued? just because the website isn't up to date, doesn't mean they aren't producing it anymore. the 07 1000RR isn't up yet either.

Correction, the 07 1000RR is on that website. It indeed does look as if the last year of the F4i is 06. I am glad to see that bike leave the stable. It can make room for something else. I say let the 06 CBR 600RR takes its place. Oh, but they would worry about it selling more than the 07 CBR 600RR, we all know that.

really, all i see for the 1000RR is the 05-06 models.

RC51 and 599 also gone
honda is being lame cutting back

 

[shraz]

heard it from dealers who went to the show. We'll have to look at other brands if we want a mid-size that isn't a race replica

Honda really cut alot of bikes out this year. I was expecting it truthfully, but i was really hoping to see some completely new models. I'm actually dissapointed in Honda. I'm fully in love with everything about the new RRs but really bummed that Honda didn't make anything else. I mean, what if i don't necessarily want the RR but still want a sporty new Honda? SOL i guess.

We are talking about two different websites. The website you are going to is always the last to post the new info. Here is the link to the 07 1000RR.

The 07' 100RR is NICE...the all black one very nice!

 

[davedog665]

[shraz]

You should elaborate on "that". What the heck are you talking about? BS that the F4i is no longer being made? It is hard to believe that they finally phased out that heap of crap?

 

[ItzBACON]

i don't think the f4i is a "heap of crap" i like mine. i'll probably continue to like it for at least another 12k miles (only put 12k on it so far in a bit over a year, it's '02 and had 466 miles when i bought it last year) or more. just cause it isn't an "RR" doesn't mean it's crap.

 

[ADRENALINEJUNKY]

I would like to have an F4i. People around here are to proud of their stuff though.

I think he's calling bs on this

i'm going to track mine for a while, then if i can lower it enough, give it to the wife once she feels comfortable with it. she's getting a 250 Ninja first though. (if it will be low enough haha, she's small)

Yeah, you're an idiot. I seem to recall that the F series bikes have been around for many years and have always been a great seller for Honda. You're right, it's such a 'heap of crap' that nobody wants it anymore. That's also why the lastest versions, F4i, were factory race bikes. Also the fact that HRC still offers a race kit for it. Yeah, nobody wants that 'heap of crap'. Are you sure you don't own a gixxer 600 instead?

 

[havoc]

*ahem* insert shameless plug to sell my Ohlins F4I springs located in the for sale section...

I have always like the F4I and liked the RC51 even more. I hope I can buy myself one. I'd love to experience the V-twin.

 

[alaska cajun]

This sucks

I was thinking of buying one when I moved down to the states to tour on.
