I agree with kuroshio. The top 3 on your list are the best.
When i bought my bike last jan i didnt know anything about it or have ever been on one. Now i look back on everything ive done to it and all ive learned man it feels good.
Just cant ride it through the countryside yet....... Gotta take my motorcycle class. soon though june 8th yeppie.

I bought my bike in a cooler lol well part of it was. Rolling frame and cooler full of unlabeled parts.....

I have been riding my uncles motorcycle for a long time but f3 is the first i have owned. I love my F3 and I'm probably not going to be replacing it anytime soon. I'm just saying, I really hate it when people with new bike's think they are the ****! so thats why i asked on this forum if anyone has ever smoked a new 600cc with their f3

Most of the newer bikes can be smoked when the road gets curvy. Not the bike's fault. The rider. Another way to put it is like this:

I'd bet Juliet on her F3 without a thought against my coworker on his 08 600rr in the twistiest. I'd take that same bet with a couple of the guys that race on the straights. The rider would decide the race. But riders with equal skill?

Even if you managed to raise the F3's engine performance to that off a new 600's, there's still the weight factor. The newer bike will win from the power / weigh ratio. Add in clutch and suspension advancements, the gap gets bigger.

OK i hope that by "beat or keeping up with a ferrari" you mean on a track and not the street....
if its on the street thanks for making a bad name for the rest of us...

And willduce.... Give it a week man sadly as it sounds. Just to become another stat on why motorcycles are so dangerous.
