The more I look at this bike, the more I like it. I do have a very small problem liking the shape of the fairing right behind the front wheel and how it angles slightly back at the bottom instead of forward like the older 1000RR and other bikes. It just looks a little wrong there to me. Not enough that I wouldn't want one, though. In fact, the only thing that makes me not want one is I'm not at all impressed with the color choices for 2008. Everyone usually has red around here and I like to be different. The other color choices just don't do it for me at all.
My plan is to keep my F4i another year or two, then trade or sell and step up to a liter bike. Whether this happens in a year or in two years depends on how well I like the color choices available on the 2009 or 2010 models.
I'm also curious to see what the aftermarket does with exhausts. The dual outlet muffler has a valve that adjusts flow between the smaller and larger outlets to improve power according to the RPM you're running. I wonder if the aftermarket will produce exhausts that use that technology or if they'll just use their usual straight through cans that will more than likely kill some of the bikes lower RPM power.
