Hmmm... since Cheryl's F4i is buried in my garage and my C14 is in front of it, she won't be able to ride it on Sunday when the temperatures hit the high 50's for the Albany, NY area.
Darn... ;)
She has ridden the F800ST and liked it. The belt drive was very appealing to her along with the heated grips and ABS.
The GSX650 (2009MY) she has sat on and it seemed to have fit her well. I've only seen a couple of used ones for sale but they go quickly.
The Versys didn't have fairings...
Originally the guy, very nice BTW, was asking $4000. He mentioned that the battery was weak and said that a replacement would be $180.
After 10 or so minutes of Cheryl and I checking over the bike, Brian (owner) said he would go down to $3800 and we buy the battery. Since the bike was...
Cheryl is looking at this bike: 2005 CBR F4i, 9500 miles, very clean, recent tires, new battery, for $3700.
She's not too crazy about the price but it is amongst the cleanest and fairly priced F4is that we've come across.

Cheryl did sell her bike and the guy buying it asked good questions and is a gentleman.
As we found out, the FZ6 will fit in the back of a Dodge Minvan after taking off the windshield and mirrors.
Attached are "Zelda" in the van and a poor picture of a sad Cheryl as she saw the van taking...
Cheryl asked me to take pictures of the tires and measure the highest part of the bike.
That number is 52 inches with the Laminar lip. 49 inches to the top of the windshield without the lip. These numbers are measure while bike is on the center stand and a scissor jack to lift the front...
Cheryl's short list include:
Honda VFR and Kawasaki ZZR 600. She likes the smoother ride and full fairing for better weather protection.
She has been looking at the Honda NT700 and BMW F800ST. She likes the idea of hard bags and no chain maintenance.
Attached is a picture of her, with...
Out of the two of us, Cheryl is not the detail oriented person.
The bike has been maintained by me and I have the records since her buying it 2.5 years ago, with 4000 or so miles on it at that time.
It currently has Michelin PR2s with lots of life left, Motivation Frame Sliders, dual headlight...
