oldschoolsdime92 Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 So I have recently been checking out the naked bike market, and it came to me, why doesnt honda come out with a naked f4i. They have the 599, which is nothing more than a naked detuned f3. If they came out with a standard version of the f4i, I would be all over it, instead of the gladius. Common honda. I have always been a die hard honda fan. -end rant- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruisedk7 Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 checkout the lastest issue of cycleworld and you will be even more frustrated. the released a sweet looking naked last year in europe called the CB1000R. take a guess where they got the motor and various other parts from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldschoolsdime92 Posted September 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 that thing just oozes badass. I have a feeling I am eaither going to end up with a gently used street triple, speed triple or a brand new gladius. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alstare03 Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 looks pretty badass, to bad we arent getting it here. though i think my next bike is gonna be a cruiser anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Likwid Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 wow... I'd keep the cruiser and finance that... that's amazing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAC Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 The CB1000R is nice but the bodywork is a little too Batman for me.Why not the CB1000F? That's supposed to be coming, right?Then mod it from there?(Oops, couldn't copy the pic of the F from my album. It's out there in my album if you wanna see.)

bruisedk7 Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 i didn't see the red one in the mag that thing is SICK! Honda really should bring that thing state side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolsdime92 Posted September 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 if they dont they just really need to offer a naked upright f4i. I want a brand new bike. I cant justify buying a brand new bike thats carbed. And I really cant justify buying a brand new bike and stripping the body work and clippons and building a street fighter style bike.

bruisedk7 Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 i know what you mean i wanted to do that with my gixxer but could justify doing that to such a beautiful bike but then it got laid down and i let the insurance take it. i am really starting to regret doing that but i will get something to ride hopefully next season. got another baby on the way so that will be the ultimate deciding factor on when i buy again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagr Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 pick up a used Z1000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolsdime92 Posted September 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 I found an used fz1 the other day with 7k on the clock. I belive they were asking 7800 for it. I am just going back and forth with myself. I love the styling of the gladius, I dont love the 66 hp. I love the 599, but yet again. its 2009, and I cant justify buying a carbed bike.

oldschoolsdime92 Posted September 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 so upon some research, the 919 claims its fuel injected. When I go to the honda dealership, there 919 has a choke. Can someone explain this to me? I am almost positive the one at the dealer is a left over 07.

ReconRat Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 so upon some research, the 919 claims its fuel injected. When I go to the honda dealership, there 919 has a choke. Can someone explain this to me? I am almost positive the one at the dealer is a left over 07.Yes, all of the 919 are left over 2007 models now. I like mine so much, I just might get one of the 2007. The choke is just a airbox blocker thingy, to cut down on the air. Which is basically the same thing a choke on a carb does. I don't even use mine, it doesn't need to use it, with the fuel injection. I think I've only used it 2 or 3 times, and I like riding right down to freezing temperatures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagr Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 My Z is FI and has the choke thingy you're talking about. It's basically an idle adjuster. On the Kawi it let's you run it 4k rpms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolsdime92 Posted September 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 (edited) gotcha. easier warm up. makes sense. well maybe the 919 is a possible option then....although the non adjustable suspension and some of the other things that i dont care for are still lingering .
