Just wondering, as i have an F3 now, and want to move on, should i settle for an F4, or just skip a step, throw in the extra money and get an F4i?
I like the RR as well, but it doesnt look as comfy on long rides as the F-models...

I've had an F4 and F4i - just skip the F4 and get either a split seat F4i or an RR - The Fuel Injection is priceless.

I actually went to the F4i and now I want an RR because I like the undertail exhaust, and I never spend more than abotu 45 minutes on it at a time....

 

I like taking the girl out for longer trips, its nice to see other places than your normal surroundings
This post on the F3 forum is from a trip me and a few buddies took this summer.

Peace!

 

Skipping a step would be going to the 2011 s1000rr



Go with the Fuel Injection.

 

Got both. Skip the F4. Carb to carb little difference. Carb to fi, whole different bike.

 

If you have the money, F4i is a better ride for the street. I've got an F4i for the street, and F4 on the track. I do love my F4 though- feels much better on the track vs F4i.

 

Agreed, when i went from my f4 to f4i i could tell a lot of diffrence in throttle response. seemed like the f4 was more slugish to speed up were as the Fi was direct power lol.

 

I dont think getting an F4 would be settling.. personally the better charging system of the F4i is a great draw (yuk yuk!) to the F4i.. I also love the gauge cluster of the F4i.. and despite the fact that I used to like the F4i nose better... I now prefer the F4 look I think.... it has really grown on me as a classic look.. and I am one of the few and proud that like the nana seat better too.... I know.. unreal....

if you can afford the price difference the F4i might be worth it for you.

 

I had a f2 which was like the f3 and now I own a f4i. For longer trips no doubt the F2 was way way more comfortable. I went 4 hours straight and was fine at the end. The f4i for me more than a hour and I feel it.

 

I went from an F4 to an RR....I think the RR is more comfortable than my F4.

I agree about skipping the F4 and get an F4i... FI > carb....I dont miss the hard starts at all that I had with my F4.
