Isn't the dry weight on this thing something like 475 pounds?
As much is I'm all for big bikes as starters, I don't this is going to be the one you want to start on.
That big and that lite, you'll certainly die.

just picked up a f4i after riding the ninja 500 for 2k mi... world of difference
the brakes / suspension / tires RULE... the amount of power is disturbing

If you want disturbing, try strapping a 2300cc between your legs.

i don't think that I would be able to control that bike

It' big, but not that big, shorter than most cruisers and very low since the motor is integrated as part of the frame (no under rail). And with a 240 on the rear, it's all day fun.

The ZX-14 is not that big and does not feel it. I have an R6 and my dad a ZX-14 which I take every other day to go around for a few hours. The bike is far more stable and comfrotable than my R6, the bike is dropped about 2 inches and has a two bros exahust and PCIII. The thing sounds like nothing I've heard and moves like nothing I've ridden. For being a "big" bike it sure does behave very well.

i just bought a F4i a month ago, and still do not twist the handle all the way
how long should I wait until it is "safe" for me to test ride (VERY CALMLY) my friends' liter and up bikes? (not that I ever want one, but rather just to see what the difference is)
