I really wanted an F4i when I first started riding when I was looking for my first bike, but never really lusted after a bike til the white 600rr came out in 07.

First was this 350 Honda my old man got!!! 1971ish I got a ride on the back of that thing and that was it. you could ride bikes on the road!!!! at the ripe old age of 5 I was hooked forever. broke my leg and still got rides even with the cast on and sticking almost straight out as we rode along. rode all the way to grandmas house that way, 350 miles. (ok I took a couple brakes in the car but most of the way I was on the bike)

My experience is similar. I grew up watching chinese tv that had girls riding motorcycles and I knew as soon as I was able I would be riding. My cousin's boyfriend took me riding on the back of his GSXR1000 when I was 14 and since then I always loved the GSXR's, any size, I just loved the blue and white paint scheme.

Not exactly sure how it happened, but I started liking the naked bikes. First one I really drooled over was the BMW Dakar. I saw a Z1000 at the dealership and also drooled over that. After I got licensed, I saw a 2nd gen SVS and fell in love with it. The SV650S became my 2nd bike and the SV650 naked became my 4th.

I always thought it was odd that Honda took the F4i back to the F4 style tail after the 600RR came out. This style looks just like my '00 I had.
