Hey there, welcome to the board!, good luck w your selection whatever you choose im sure you'll be happy! for a daily comuter id say go w F4i, RR is more of a track bike, insurance may be higher as well? nonetheless congrats!
when you decide let us know
I insure through progressive direct and it seams to me there classification is by Year as well as CC size. I quoted both an F4i as well as a 600RR and they both came out the same, 409$ for Liability/Medical payments.

looks like there may be some rust on the chain and rear disc brake, meaning it hasnt been ridden in a while. a rusted chain is no good so facter in that price too....

It wasn't a VFR, it was a VTR Superhawk. The VTR was actually not too nice on the wrists.....

Well..... I did the damn thing and bought the F4i. It is basically perfect in every way. The paint and decals are all perfect, and all the equipment is mechanically sound (from my first impressions); I rode it and it was smooth and excellent. It starts every time on the first try and its only 18* here in Bellingham, WA.

I feel I got a really good deal. New higher resolution pix to come tomorrow!!!

The F4i is OK on the wrists, but I changed to Helibars.The 44 year old bones in my neck and wrists are evenhappier now.

Around town the bike is great, on the highway it can be a little buzzy but gloves fix most of that.

right on good to know, thought maybe the "RR" would be a difference, but like you said i guess they use CC instead, Congrats on the F4i!!!!
