Default New to the RR's

Just thought i'd introduce myself since i'll be lurking about inserting an opinion here or there. My name is Russell. I had a 97 f3 for 2 years, untill last summer somebody like the way i zip tied the fairings together just a wink too much and had to steal it. Nine months of agony later, i paid my car off and some how i convinced honda to give me the 09 green/black rr. not gunna complain though

cbr means full fairing sport inline 4 cylinder models
currently there's only the 600rr and 1000rr models available
so in order to compare them to other models you'd have to look back to the 600F models or 900/929/954rr models

the current models generally have a sportier seating position and are faster/lighter than their predecessors (stock of course)

it's also only an opinion as to which is better than the other, personally I have an F4i and wouldn't trade it for an rr right now bc I ride for long distances at one time and feel the F4i is more comfortable

....maybe, but we'll get there quicker.

There really isn't an answer to "Which on is better?" Like said above, it comes down to preference...some weirdos out there even choose (get this) NEITHER!!

Oh, forgot to mention...NICE BIKE! I'm sure you won't be missing the electrical tape tail mod you have on the old one once you squeeze off a few hard, low-rev rips.
