I cant really ellaborate anymore than what has been posted,BUT from what I know the FZ6 is more of a standard (ie. upright riding position,handlebars,mid-range tuned engine)
while the F4i is a Supersport 600.
Youd have to ride each bike to see which one would fit you best and which one fits your riding demographic.
DO you plan on taking long trips? doing trackdays? Just a few questions you need to ask yourself.

Of course Im biased on my opinion but for all-around capabilities from the street to the racetrack the F4i is hard to beat

Oh, and welcome to CBRF!

I have maybe 15 hours on an XR100 and 20 hours on a KLX250s (dual sport).

I don't plan on doing track days, although I live 10 min away from Pacific Raceways. I also don't plan on doing long trips.

I see myself using my bike as a commuter to college (40 min round trip), and possibly a few day rides to Mt. Rainier, maybe with a passanger after I get a few thousands miles under my belt.

thats what i use my 00 600 f4 for. its basically the same bike but w/out the fuel injection. i can ride all day and stay comfortable. plus i ride 35 minutes to school and back and it gets great gas mileage(i fill up once a week, would be less but i drive round all weekend). so 10.50 in gas compared to 80 in my truck had me sold. i have only had mine since last august and i have already paid off 3/4 of the bike just with the gas money i saved riding two up isn't a problem either, i give people rides all the time....oh and chicks love motorcycles.

Considering 007 Hamster asked this question on 11-30-09 and has a total of 4 posts, it appears he didn't get the Honda and moved on.

^^ Exactly.
That's why I'm asking for peeps not to bump this stuff.
3 posts from renegade, and this is the most recent thread at 4.5months old (the other 2 from 6months and over 2yrs ago.)

Personally, I'm just a huge fan of the honda guts.

EDIT: Oh crap, renegade got me again!
