Great first bike. I've worked on a lot of them and all the problems were from the owners neglecting them. Built good though

so what shouldn't I be neglecting?

All wear and tear items, and items that can be neglected when storing a bike. Old bikes man, nobody takes care of them.

storing - the part I'm not ready for.

I still need to find a battery tender for mine...

anyway,
Yes, my F3 was my first bike (June of this summer) and it's been just about perfect. I'd like to pick up something newer/faster but I'd like to hang onto this one simply because it's so comfortable (comfortable enough that' I've daily driven it for 3 months almost every day)

ya thats probley what i will be doing also in the summer is driving it every day like to work and buddys houses but yes manly to school every day but that's a 6 min trip so its not bad but... how fast have you got your f3 going?

[gsrEK]

buy my f4i

[wishinsky]

gsrEK how much...?

[94civicex]

you dont want to buy a R6 for that cheap mainly because if you found one it would more than likey be a 99-02 and thoes years were bad years for the R6, the second gear went out on alot of them i can think of 4 people that i used to ride with that it happend to and they ranged form all sorts of riding from stunting to corner carving to just riding.

its not a bad first bike but you will want to get something faster and better handling the year after you get it. just make sure its cheap.
