I think it depends on the rider. Will this be your first bike? I chose the F4i because I heard it's a lot more forgiving as a first bike. Then again, this wasn't my first bike. I had an old F2 to play around with first. Like everyone is saying, speed isn't the issue. A 600 is more then enough.

The term "better" is subjective. The RR is designed more for racing/tracking than the F4. More aftermarket race parts for the RR. Streetwise, the F4 is definately more comfortable. Either one will be a great bike, just depends on what you want.

I stated before your post that I have a gsxr. It's an SRAD with alot of mods. I love SRADs so much. They're big and mean and can easily pull over 160, and it's only a 600 lol I think once I do the split seat conversion it'll be almost the same as the RR.

Everyone staes how comfortable the F4i is well the seat is intended for a rider to be able to slide back and forth as if you were on a track and it flat out sucks for long rides---i replaced mine with a corbin.

I love how everyone always says the RR is faster than the F4i. Technically it's true but the difference is so negible I hardly think you would notice a difference as a newb. Both would scare the bajesus out of you.

on the street n esp from a newb perspective you are correct. But we all know 99.999% of newbs have 3 things on their minds:

  1. How cool I look!
  2. How fast I can go!
  3. How much I'm gonna get laid!!!
