( I moved this post here because earlyer I didn't see that there was a forum for the CBR F4i so I write this post in the CBR F4 post forum )

Hi everyone,
I have a question about the F4i, Im guessing that some of the people that look at this part of the forum have the CBR F4i.
I am rideing right now a 04 suzuki GS500 but I am looking to buy a 600cc bike soon, Iv'e like the CBR F4i for awhile now and I was just wondering how it is as a frist 600cc bike? has anyone here had it as there frist 600cc bike? Iv'e own my GS500 since Oct of last year and Im keeping it tell agust because Im in a abate class. Where the powerband on the CBR F4i? How the bike act when it hits the powerband? Thanks everyone

 

The f4i is a great bike, This is my second CBR I had an f2. THe new CBR is a joy to drive I haven't noticed any differences between my f4I and the 600RR my nieghbor drives as far as performance goes... His suspension feels a little tighter but I haven't adjusted mine to my body weight yet... All in all I would recomend it. Choose between the f4i and RR on styling and color choices not for performance.. The main reason I bought the F4i was due to the fact that it had the side exit exhaust which I liek the look of more then the under tail systems. As a first bike yes it is a good choice.. If want to stay out of trouble...Yes you can do that too on this bike... If you want to go over 200mph buy a 1000rr....

 

Ive had my f4i, (first bike) for 3 weeks now. I've put 1300 miles on it. It is a great beginner bike, and you will get very comfortable on it, very fast. Powerband is steady til your roll it into the 11-14k rpm range. Decent power, comfortable bike, very nice handling... you'll love it.

 

well not only my first 600cc bike but my first bike ever and believe me this bike is great. i had never riden before i bought this bike and i'm gald i got what i got it is easy to control and learn on but down the road once youve learned and wanna keep up with your friends you'll have no problem doing that either its fast and corners very well from what i have expierenced.

 

Thank you guys, and if there anymore of you that have storys coming.
the has a smooth in the powerband? Im just intrested in the powerband because when I rode my friends 600 and it was really jerky when it was getting into the powerband, My friend told me all 600's are jerky in the powerband.
Thanks again for your help everyone.
