get the RR
Reason?

My budget is limited, that is why I'm trying to determine if there is a large price difference. Keep in mind that I have NEVER ridden before, but am well versed in manual transmissions in cars and am a faster learner.

if ur looking new...u can find then around the same price.. used u can find F4i's cheaper, because the RR is Honda's new *race* bike.. with some ppl ..its in with the new out with the old ..you could say ..but really its your opinion that counts ..like i wnated an RR but ..sometimes i go out riding for 10 12 hours at a time and i couldnt handle sitting on an RR that long..shop around ..bound to find something

If u want comfort get a cruiser these bikes arent designed for comfort or long rides there designed to race. i have the f4i i really dont think its all that comfortable after i took a ride on a kawasaki vulcan 750 but i love my bike.

rode an RR and picked the F4i solely on seating postion. I dont like how far you sit "up" on the RR. Im also 6'2 though so thats a good reason...

I dont have a reference but Im pretty sure they have the same power. Its the same engine and i dont think it was altered in anyway, like bigger injectors or valve timing, etc.
First difference is the RR is a DualStage Fuel Injected. It dont not mean its better just programmed different.
RR- is 9 pounds lighter, better swing arm, .5 inch larger front brake rotors, higher seating position.
It is just the track purpose bike. "A mod-up f4i".
Same catagory bikes just they both have their designed purpose, one is a street the other is a track. That does not mean you can alter their intented purpose.
I like the old f4i look more than RR (my opinion alone), from 01-03, before that wacky seat came out.

Here they are $300 difference in price, that's all. not much when you shelling out 7,000+

I've heard the the dealers will 'deal' more on an F4i than an RR so the $$$ diff can be more than expected. IMHO the RR is better looking and a better bike in general, but the F4i is more compfy. The big plus for the RR is the underseat exhaust given my calf just got burned on my F4i's exhaust. A smaller plus is the adjustable levers on the RR.

If I had to do it all over again, I'd still pick the F4i because of the seating position.

Got something to contribute, or are you just here to complain? Searching didn't yield the results I wanted. 175 posts isn't impressive, so I won't take this to heart.
