One of my all time favorites sport bikes.  Those 4 exhausts exiting under the seat just shouts exotica.  Sat on one at a local dealer many years ago. 
Never rode it but I wanted to.  That ship has long ago sailed on those types of bikes for me,  but that one is stellar.

My nephew has a newer (square-pipe) F4. I get to ride it occasionally. It's a glorious machine - but too aggressive for me to actually want one for street use, and I don't race. But I'll still ride whenever he wants to swap.

Apparently, values on used ones are going up, since they stopped making the F4.

Yes I've owned 3 new ones over the years, 2 750's an a 1000. Such a perfect synergy between form and function. The later models went from the TIG welded frame to a MIG welded frame unfortunately. These things look even better with the tank and bodywork off. Every bracket and detail has been designed to be beautiful and functional.
