Default f4i best 600 you will ever ride??

Who would agree their Honda CBR600F4i was the best 600cc bike ride?

I love mine, stumbled on the f4i when shopping for a bike didn't even knew they existed.
Comfortable, reliable, handles great and more than enough power.

I would agree.

I had a 09 GSXR 600, right off the dealer floor.

After it got stolen I went and picked up a 98 cbr f3 and fell in love.

When I was looking for this last bike I had one thing in mind; Honda.

I put 12k miles on that F3 in 8 months, I took a lot of trips and Ill tell you what it was strong, ran great and sure was dependable. Not to mention comfortable.

Other than the bikes Ive owned, I have rode many 600s of friends and such, and even a few 1000's. And nothing is like a CBR whether its a 600 or a 1000.

Any bike I buy will be a honda.

I agree. I've riden a couple other brands and they either don't have the power or are uncomfortable for long rides- even the R6 was bad on short rides.

It was my experience wi my 2000 F4 that I loved that moved me to the F4i as the next logical ride..

Btw.. Blue is the fastest color..

Not a chance. F4i is a good, solid bike, but very far from the best 600.

What's the best one in your opinion, Aken? I'm curious.

It's so subjective, but I would think the F4i would be pretty high on the list overall? They seem dependable, comfortable, and pretty quick. I think they look good, too, but that's totally subjective.

Best overall 600c sportbike perhaps, but not the best at everything. My stock 600rr will destroy my modded f4i on the track. I'd rather ride my f4i on the street any day vs the RR though.

I would agree... near the top of the list for a STREET bike.
The F4i is far superior to the F2/F3 as far as power/weight but the F4i is still COMFORTABLE which is a huge factor for most of us (riding on the street). The 600RR is clearly a better track weapon but I don't like the riding position for the street. Same problem with all the R6's I have been on.
The F4i is also, as mentioned above, a good looking bike BUT I would have to say that is ONLY true for the split seat version (sorry).
