so i have had my 2006 f4i for about 2 yrs and have put allot of mods on it, but i still have all the stock parts. i am looking to possibly trade up to a 2006 or 2007 600rr. What do u guys think i should do i dont really know how much i would get for my bike it has 5300 miles on it. is the 600rr really that much better would i be able to tell the difference in power between them

 

The eternal question...RR or F4i...which is better...

I vote 'no' simply from the money point of view. you have $1000 in mods you will only get a fraction back and you'll lose on the first/second year depreciation not only on this bike, but the next bike too (are the06 RRs different from 07 RRs ??). But if power is what you want, then save a year or two and get a literbike, you will definitely notice the difference then, the move with respect to powerto the RR shouldn't be HUGELY different enough to make the kind of money that will be lost/spent worth it.

good luck.

 

07 RR is same as 08. In 07 the "little 600" nearly dethroned the All Mighty GSXR-1000 in the sportbike shoot out. No 600 has EVER come that close. So is it a difference F4i to 07/08 RR??? I think yes. Enough to switch....well it depends on the rider.

Personally I have no interest in "upgrading" as I spend most of my upgrade money on trackdays. That's the only reason I can ride with my friends' liter bikes and hyperbikes (ZX11's, ZX14's, Busa's). I'm working on cornerspeed and leavingTHEM in the turns. That's what get's me off. But ya know, different strokes for different folks.

 

the 07 600rr is a different kind of story, but still i wouldn't trade my comfort for sporty rr... not for now , but maybe in future , well.. i'm thinking to have more fun buy a drz-400sm or maybe a 250-400 offroad bike

 

I say its all in how you ride n want. if you just commute, you will loose comfort. If you ride the mtns hard then you may feel the betterness of a rr. But for just more power. No, dont do it, matter of fact go smack a brick into your for thinking of more power on a 'street' bike.

 

it would be a waste of F4i if you trade it in cause they wont give you much. You better off selling it and get the RR

 

first you should get your f4i on the track, I agree with Jaybird, put your dinero there, I just did my first track day at pocono on 5/22 and it was awesome, and let me tell ya, the f4i holds it's own on the track, the only thing holding it back was me

 

F4i wins hands down....My 954rr sux goat ballz compared to my F4i. The F4i is alot more fun and way more confortable. Plus the F4i holds its own in the curves. You should see how many little gixxer 1k's i can pizz off on some curvy streets or the track....The F4i is one of the best all around sport bikes that money can buy. I'll part with my 954 before i part with my F4i.....=-)

 

i think for the price, f4i is the best deal all around. but i just sold my f4i a month or 2 ago and im probably gonna get an RR

 

the drz 400 is really nice, my buddy just got one, he can corner better than any of us with that bike, but we can also beat him in the long run
