yeah it's nice... once you get used to it... you'll know when you're due to fill up... and if you forget... it studders... flip the petcock... and you've go about 10-15 miles to find a gas station.

I'm really happy with my bike... depending on what happens with my bro... I may end up keeping this bike for a LONG time... even if I end up giving it to my bro... I want it back when he upgrades... it's part of the deal

There's your winner if you're really looking for cheap. Easy maintenance, extremely cheap insurance.

The ZZR would be good too. Nice bike.

no I am currently in South Korea... here for the Air Force... but I'll be home in 23 days!

and the pic... it's Rae... a photo from the Rally earlier this year I cropped.


F4i is a great bike. honestly it'd be hard to choose between the F4i and my ZZr600... the ZZR600 new is cheaper I think. but both have excelent motors, and excelent aftermarkets....

I prefer the ZZR only because 1 I already have one and 2 the headlights are awesome (both are on for hi and lo) and I tend to ride after dark alot

I've never ridden a bike with a fuel gauge.

Not the Zuk. When the engine started to sputter...time to switch to reserve.

That's alright, they always way underestimate how much fuel is left anyway.
