Yeah, what kind of riding, but I'm biased, and would say f4i, little sportier looking IMO, but the 954, of course, you get the giddy up.

15k is nothing...

Either bike would work fine for normal commuting. Up to you if you want the power or the comfort.

15000 on a 954 high?I have 25000 right now with no problems at all,others have over 50,000 on theirs.Mileage on both dont say anything.The way they are ran does make a difference.If you can handle the 54 go for it,dont know your experience but the decision is all yours.

What's your riding experience? If you don't have several years experience on a 600, I'd say the F4i. Especially if you have less than a year experience on a 600.

Just saw you have an F4. If you haven't been riding it for a couple seasons, I'd not recommend the 954. The first season under a rider's belt doesn't really count. The rust grows thick on their skills in the off season. The second season is part refresher and part honing what they learned the first. 3rd season, the rider should know their limits... and have started to push them.

After about 4 years on their first bike, a person is ready enough for the next level.
