Default 05 CBR 600rr vs. 02 F4i

Which bike is better?I have an 05 600rr that has been salvaged, all but subframeis cosmetics.Thought about makeing the05 a track bike and using the 02 for the road. The05 just feelslike it is loose in the corners.Opinions?

Better for what?

RR is better for the track. F4I is more comfy on the street.

If it feels loose you need to pay some attention to the suspension settings. It "may" just be that you need to get use to it though. The RR has a totally different feel.

If your going to commute a lot use the '02.

After all, the '05 has a salvage title, I'd use that for the track.

As for the "looseness" of the '05, I'd take a good hard look at the forks to see if they are bent or off set in the triple clamps (one being higher than the other). Check the rear shock while your at it. Sportrider Magazine has a great listing for suspension set up. Google them and find the setting for your CBR's.
If you want to go one step farther and you have the extra cash layning around get the bike Compu-Tracked. Any good motorcycle race shop can set you up with a place or tell you where to find the closest specialist.

That's just my "two cents".

Thanks.
