wat is the difference between the 600 rr and the f4i and which one is a better buy

 

the rr looks better the f4i is more confi but ugly in my opinion.

 

maybe i can help out with this one a lil bit since i have both. my girl has an 02 f4i and i have an 03 600rr. after riding the f4i for awhile then hopping on the rr it is definately a different seating position. the 600rr clip ons are mounted under the triple and the f4i clip ons are mounted on top of it so your not leaned over as much on the f4i. the seat on the rr isnt soft at all. i could ride the f4i a lot longer than i could the rr. the f4i is definately better in the comfort department. the rr feels more nimble than the f4i and feels just a tad quicker but not by much. my girl has no problem keeping up with me when she is on the f4i. both are great bikes and even though i have the rr i still like to ride the f4i too.

 

The RR is designed with the track in mind. The F4i is moreof a daily street bike. If your gona buy a new bike get the RR cus the new F4i's are ugly. but the older F4i's are as sexy as any RR. So its mostly preference.

 

if you want the rr looks, but you want a little more comfort. Just go buy a corbin seat around 150 bucks,but your *** will love ya for it

 

The great debate. All depends on what you want it for. You can do a search on this forum 'til your fingers and eyes get sore, then decide for yourself what suits you.

 

correct... TECHNICALLY, the RR is more "track ready" and the F4i is more "commuter ready", although.... i drive my RR daily (it's theonly bike i have) and i love it!

 

Aside from the engine displacement they are completely different. The F4i is older technology but more comfortable, the RR is newer/faster/better but a torture rack for some people because of the lower clip-on position.

Newer F4is have the banana seat which most people dislike, but if you ever plan on having a girl ride with you it is definitely a plus.

I guess it goes back to what is important to you, getting chicks (F4i) or riding quickly, sleeping alone and having sore wrists (RR), the choice is yours.

 

Well, when it comes to riding with any of your friends or just many of the people around town on a track, you won't notice a big difference in the lap times of similarly skilled riders. Yes, the RR is technically a more track oriented bike(and will be faster in the hands of a competent and very capable rider)but the majority of the people that you'll ride with aren't going to extract the full potential of either the RR or the F4i.

If you're going to ride a lot(as in almost daily) then I'd recommend the F4i. It's pretty comfortable yet will also easily keep up with other bikes in the twisties when you decide to. However, if you're mainly just going out for short, spirited, corner carving rides or going to do track days...then ****** up the RR and see if you can extract the full potential of it. Really it's a no lose situation. You'll have a great bike with either one that you choose.

I personally have an F4i...it's in the sig(with me doing some corner carving). However if I had the money, I would have both of them plus numerous other bikes. My wife is okay with my plans of a garage full of bikes...now if I can just get my wallet to comply. haha. Good luck with your decision. Hope some of my info helped.

 

The RR is a race bike basically for the road and is 1 damn sexy bike (all yrs) except the 07s, the F4and F4i is a cruiser sportbike and the 1 piece seat on certain yr model F4 and F4i is ugly as fidos ***, the 2 piece seat is the F4/F4i to have, just my $.02 worth.
