Hey guys, i thought i would get a jump start on this BIKE thing since im planning on getting a honda 600 for sure. Any of you have any advice on what the differences are between me getting an F4i or a 600rr?

What are the pros and cons of each, and what do you think its worth buying?

thanks for the help!

 

F4i has more comfort. RR has a few extra race inspired parts and set up. If possible, you need to test sit them to see how they feel to you.

 

Don , you should move this to the CBR 600F4i forum so it will get more hits

 

+1 on what ODEN said. This would be better off in the RR or F4i section(s).

FWIW: F4i is more comfortable, but they're both nice bikes. Can't go wrong either way... all rider pref.

 

Personally, i think the earlier F4i's (01-03) make great first bikes. You get the cool split seat styling, but they are easier to ride than the newer RR's. I was looking for a good used one as my second bike,but couldnt find one in my price range and settled on a '99 F4. Once you get comfortable on an F4i, the jump to a race inspired RR will be cake. The RR is certainly more aggressive in positioning.

 

IMHO, neither one of those bikes is a good first bike. Many on this board will disagree with me but a 600 sportbike (regardless of year) is not a beginner's bike.

 

i agree with abad...then again great minds think alike...
but if i had a choice...i'd get whatever is cheaper.

 

I agree in principle, but if you are going to get one, at least get an older, cheaperone so you won't feel as bad when you drop it.

 

600 rr it looks better.

 

these two are to close to really compare. If it comes down to these two get which ever is you like more. I personally started riding on a CBR600F3 and that seemed damn fast. F4i is a bike that isn't going to kill you on those long rides, very comfortable and sits you upright more than the RR. The RR is more of a race bike, lighter, better suspension and styling, but has a more aggressive riding position and a blank of wood for a seat.
