Default i dont know which bike i want

I found a 2002 cbr 600 f4i with only 10 700 km's on it. This will be my second bike in the second year as my ninja 500 was crapping out on me. i could buy it, but i dont know if i should just wait to find a used 600 RR for around 6000. i will be doing mostly longer trips and no racing. so i just want comfort, i want it to be fun, last long and just be a great bike. if i do go with a f4i how do i get undertail exhaust?

you won't find a 600rr for around 600 unless it's completely trashed, double r motors go for that alone.

undertail on an f4i...more hassle than it's worth, there just ain't much room to work with, but if you have access to a pipe bender than I wouldn't say it's impossible...just gotta be custom. good luck.

A single seat f4i is going to be the best commuter

i own both and for what u say u want to do the f4i is what u want. I couldnt imagine riding my rr for a road trip the seating is to aggresive. If u really want comfort get the banana seat f4i

i've noticed zero difference between banana seat and split seat. I've ridden both on 120 mile straight boring trips to cincy and can't tell a difference.
