Its kinda of odd that you guys actually monitor the mpg on the F4is. Its a sports bike, is fuel efficiency really important to you?
When gas spikes again and it's $4 a gallon (you know it eventually will), then yes it's important when my truck gets 10mpg.

Shouldnt you care more about performance?
Do you race to work every day? When I was commuting on the F4i I rarely got above 10K.

Anything in a sports class can not have both efficiency and performance and if you think otherwise than the salesman did his job.
You really couldn't be more wrong. How do you make more power? You make the engine more efficient. Since we are now working with electronic fuel injection you can set your lower RPMs to be very efficient while still maximizing power where you need it for racing. With mods like a Power Commander you can actually run several different maps on the bike. You can have one for daily commute and one for racing.

To the Original Poster, if you want a street bike, you will be much more satisfied with the F4i. It dosent give up much to the 600rr, and is WAY more comfortable.
Agreed! And when you commute on your bike 100 miles per day 5-6 days/week like I do (and others as well), MPG sure as hell does matter!

MPG has more to do with how hard you twist the throttle than what RPM you shift at.
