SECRET AP1

Hi folks,

I wanted to say a few things and ask a few things. Hopefully you can bear with me.

MSF Course:
I cannot emphasize how much I've learned in this course. Much of the classroom time seems redundant, but doing all those armchair exercises, repeating after the instructor, and memorizing SIPDE and FINE-C

Congrats on having the brains to take the class! The hardest part to me was looking a bunch of seconds ahead on really tight u-turns. You have to do the "Exorcist" head-twist to look almost directly behind you.

You might be able to mod the F4i for a short inseam (cut up the seat, maybe lower-profile tire/wheel combo). Maybe find a riding boot with a tall heel too.

Im only 5'7" and I have an F4, Ive had the bike 6 months now and Ive never dropped it once. I can just reach the floor with both feet so perhaps its more your leg length than your height.

Its my first bike and I love it, I know people say you shouldnt jump straight to something like a supersports but I'm 33 been driving cars for 17 years so Im familiar with the roads, I rode bikes a lot when I was younger (16/17 YO) and I deem myself to be sensible when it comes to riding and can trust my wrist. I think if I had got anything else I would only have ended up swapping it within a few months.

The bikes typical of all Hondas, cars and bikes alike in that its very easy to ride and will happily pootle along at low speeds but theres power there when you need it. This is I believe (never having ridden them) in stark contrast to the Gixer and R6 which by all accounts are more focused and only happy when ridden hard.

Good Luck, Have fun and be careful
