Thats just plain dumb luck.

But yeh thirdgen did 140xxx miles on his bike before he lowsided into a curb, I have no doubt that his bike if he kept maintaining it the way he was could have just kept going and going and going.

The real downside to the f4i is the stupid banana seat they put on, it looked much better as a separate pillion seat. Anyway awesome bike all around, not as track focused as the RR, but it is more comfortable.

The big advantage that I think it has over the ZZR (ZZR is IMHO slightly more comfy) is the fuel injection. Oh yeh and the pre-05 ZZR is ugly as sin.

The one that I am looking at is a 2002, so no banana seat!

But yea the ZZR is nice. My buddy had one, it was comfortable. Specfuckingtacular headlights too. The only thing that is pushing me toward the F4i is the FI. I had to deal with junked up carbs on my R6, and it just pissed me off.
