okay 1 i didn't know where to post this at.
2 i am looking to upgrade from my gs500f. i am looking at upgrading to a 600 but i can't pick switch one all i know that i want a honda. i really do love and really do wan the 2008 honda cbr600rr but it cost a lot and i just want to know switch one i should go with. i know if i ever get the money up for the 08 cbr600rr i will get it but i need a new bike. so i was thinking between the honda cbr600f4i and 05-06 honda cbr600rr.

 

It all depends on you. How experienced of a rider are you? What kind of riding will you be doing? How big are you?

The F4i is a great all around bike. It will be great for commuting, tons of pleasure miles, and work well for the occasional track day. With some upgrades, it will be very competitive at the track. The seating position is a little more upright, making it comfortable for long hours in the saddle. The F4i has some storage, so you can carry small things without a bag or backpack.

The 600rr is lighter and faster, but not by much. That makes it less forgiving to little mistakes of an inexperienced rider. The seat is not as comfortable and the position is more aggressive and cramped.

Sit on both. Ride both if you can.
But be honest with your intentions and pick the bike that best suits your needs.

 

^exactly what Demon said. Although the rr looks mean and you'll feel cooler riding that, I'd reckon the F4i will be plenty a bike after that tamed down 500. Doesn't look too shabby either IMO. Don't think what you want, think about what kind of riding you'll be doing. If you're gonna ride long trips regularily that rr will murder you with the riding position. I'd say go test ride an F4i and I'm pretty sure you'll find it's performance more than adequate. If you still want that rr then go for it, but wait a few years for their prices to come down and meanwhile "earn your spurs" with the F4i. You didn't say how long you've ridden that gs so I'm assuming for some time but not many years, I'll assure you any sportbike will be a whole different horse to ride so I'd regommend not to jump on the black stallion at first.

 

ditto the above, the f4i is a lot of bike and will commute and hussle when you want it to,

 

You'll be in for a treat whichever bike you choose. Either of those I4s will feel like a rocket compared to your GS500.

There's a huge aftermarket for both. And although the 600rr is the race rep, the F4i isn't lacking when it comes to being sporty.

 

i only been riding for a year and 2 months and at the same time i am kind of a little weight person. i ride a lot because that's the only thing i have to get to places and at the same time i ride with a lot of people

 

If you're small, size doesn't really factor in. If you were a bigger fella, the RR would be much more uncomfortable.


However, the fact that you will be a heavy commuter though, I'd go f4i. It's a TANK as far as reliability. Look at how many people use them for stunting. It's because they can take lots of miles and lots of abuse. ThirdGen (a member here) has almost 300,000 miles on his F4i and he's been doing track days on it!

And like I said previously, it's not lacking in sportiness, at least in the real world.

 

Real world...that's where the F4i rules.
