Default First bike: 600rr or f4i

I'm looking for the differences in the f4i compared to the 600rr. It's going to be my first bike. I've been told two things: starting on a 600 can kill you, and the other one is that you'll be fine if your smart. I like the style of the 600rr better than the f4i, but would the f4i make a better first bike? Is the riding style less agressive? Thanks for any suggestions.

Well i'd like to say get an SV650 or a 250 or whatever.

I didn't and i've been fine so far. Never even stalled so... F4i is what I suggest though

if you take the motorcycle class, you'll be fine on a 600 f*&k the rumors.

i have the f4i, but i'm a mod-queen and i think i would have been happier w/ the RR. Yet i'm not dissapointed in any way in the F4i. Honestly i'd get that bike you fall in love with when you first see it.

This is going to start some **** but.

I actually sort of agree. If you aren't retarded and have driven a stick car. Theres not really a problem. People say stuff like "the throttle is to touchy" "the brakes are to good" I haven't had a problem with that at all. Unless you are completely un-****in-coordinated, i dont see how those could be a problem.

So far I've put just over 600 miles on my f4i (first bike) and haven't had any problems - you just need some self control and some hand-eye coordination. I would recomend the f4i for its comfort level though - I can't imagine going more than a half hour on the RR w/out an aching back

the '07 RR isn't actually all that bad. They raised the front a little from previous years.
