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.
It is definitely subjective. The Triumph Daytona 675 is my favorite so far, and will replace my F4i some day. The F4i is comfortable, but that's the problem with it - it's meant to be less race inspired and more street orientated. That's not what I like anymore. I like new tech, lighter bikes, more aggressive looks and aerodynamics.

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).
Only if your looking at it, when your RIDING it doesn't matter bannana is soo much
better for long rides.

It's not the fastest 600 for sure but comfort and fully adjustable suspension make
it a great all arounder.

I have had my CBr f4i for 1 season now and i love it. I am new rider and the bike has been there for me when i mess up and its very forgiving. I've riden others and uncomfortable and just stupid power. The f4i its hands down the best

Now i am converting to street fighter

i previously owned a f4i rossi replica, most comfortable and smoothest bike i have had so far. as a street sports bike it was quick enough and comfortable enough.

i have had an r6 and currently a cbr600rr but neither are as smooth or comfortable, they do have more power though but in street riding that doesn't make much difference.

I would have to agree...I'm just your average Joe rider and I've owned a 2007 FZ6, 2009 R6, and more recently a 2008 Triumph Sprint ST when I wanted to do some longer distance riding but for some reason I just couldn't love that damn Sprint...and I tired, but it never felt right to me. But I'm now on my second F4i (Sold my '06 and regretted it the moment the guy drove away with it) I since bought another one, an '04 that only had one owner and 11k on it, and this time I'm NOT selling it. I recently added a Cortech Tail Bag and a set of side bags, so I have a good deal of luggage for a weekend trip. F4i is hands down the most comfortable sporty bike I've ever ridden...and yes, I actually prefer the banana seat


My '04

i'm looking forward to getting mine, although i've never ridden one yet. my last bike was a firestorm(superhawk) and it was an awesome bike, but quite forward biased. i rode a 600 f2 very briefly before nicking the front and rear end for my 1978 cb750 honda
