whats going on everyone? im eric, no bike as of now, but hopefully within the next 2-3months ill have one, i dont want to get one now since im about to move back to houston so ill be out of a job for a couple weeks while moving back. but i went out and bought a helmet and leather ridin jacket today so im ready for the MSF course and then track lessons(if my friends dad lets me take out his 600 race bike to use ha)
im lookin at some cbr600s and the f4i's with the split seat, dont need that banana seat ha

 

welcome to the forum! good luck getting a bike, and good job on the gear!

 

ha, ya, if yal saw the video on the net "the naked wheelie/wreck" that guy rode with a bunch of my friends.. and even tho i wont ride naked, i dont want to end up with road rash like that anywhere ha

Hello & Welcome!!

 

Welcome, Eric...looking forward to future posts.

 

thanks for the warm welcome guys! hopefully yal wont label me as a 'squid' being that this will be my first street bike and im sure i will have alot of questions ha.
i just need some seat time on some different bikes so i know what to get!
question... whats the main difference in the f4i and the 600rr?is the rr more of a track inspired bike and the f4i is more of a lesiure sport bike ?

 

Hello and welcome to the forum. As see that you allready bought yourself a leather riding jacket. As long as you wear the jacket while riding you shouldn't have a problem with people calling you a squid. as for the two bikes, You pretty much nailed it. People consider the F4i A watered down version of the RR but it still a very capable bike. It's been proven that the F4i can beat the RR in the 1/4 but after that there's no comparison. Whichever you decide on you should be very content with. Best of luck.

 

is the f4i a capable bike at the track also? not 1/4mile... b/c that is something i would like to get into, or atleast be able to really open the bike(whatever it may be) at the track and really lean into the turns..
or should i just look for a 600rr? and yes, i am aware of being on a bike like this for a first bike, is a risky move, but i feel i will be able to handle the bike with no problems since im not going to stunt the bike, or try to be "mr badass"...
