Friend of mine just traded his 999 in for the rc 51 said he liked the Ducati but could afford to buy 2 rc51's for the price of the 999.

It's just other 600's has that aggressive look that F4i lacks. Why did Honda put than ugly banana seat on F4i? Hope they do a recall to fix it!! How about inverted fork, slipper clutch or fly by wire features??
IMHO, the F4i looks are pretty agreesive, but conservative at the same time. I think the 600RR just adds a little more spice which is reflective of the marginal differences between that machine and it's older, almost-as-nimble-brother the F4i. Some (if not all?) those features that the F4i lack are in the 600RR...

My next bike... RC-51!! It will be in addition to my F4i though, not a replacement. F4i isn't going anywhere! I know the ergos aren't exactly the greatest on the RC so I still need something comfy for long trips and my daily commute. It'll be awile before I get another bike though.... still got 4 more years of payments on this one, and I doubt I could get much if I tried to sell it anyways (one year and two month old bike with 40k miles...ehhh I dunno). I'm a Honda nut though so whatever I do get will be a Honda
So the F4i is fixed!?

Yep! September 16th I got her all put back together and back on the road again, and going strong without incident since! [sm=icon_rock.gif] I do still have a few small things to replace to make it perfect like it was before, but even now you really can't even see the scratches and such unless you get up close, so nothing major at all. I'm just glad to have it back on the road... that month and a half not being able to ride it sucked!! I don't know how the northern people keep their sanity with their bikes in storage for months at a time over the winter, LOL

Nice! Haven't seen you on SBN lately.

Us Northern folks hit the boards and buy crap for the bikes for installation in the spring, or at least that's I cope with the wintery weather!

Do love Honda, miss my little RVF 400. Beautiful machine and loved the twisties
Erm as for next machine, i think it will be up from the 600.
Going to admit it will prob be a Suzuki GSXR-750 k6 or K5 1000. But that could change if Honda make a new bike to replace/upgrade the RR series

I thought about selling my F4i for another bike...but I cant let her go...first bike and now Im attached to it...it was a good friends bike before that so Ide feel bad selling her off to sum guy only to have it wrapped around a tree a month later...but I guess the future it holds with me isnt that much better, probally gonna cage my bike and stunt it, Im lookin for another bike too like a 900RR or Gixxer1000. but i think Im always gonna have the F4i around.

I'm gonna have this bike for a while, but I'm gonna be first in line when the new Yamaha V-max comes out. That is one badass lookin bike, I just hope it rides as good as it looks. The old one was strong as hell, but it was outdated. Let's see 200 hp out of the new one!!
