i am looking to buy a 600 and locally, i found a f4i and an RR with only about $200 difference. i like working on my car and its mostly simple to buy aftermarket parts for my car so i want that factor as well with my car... which bike would you recommend?

 

I really depends on what you are going to be doing with it. If it's only going to be a daily commuter and you want something comfortable.........then the F4i is going to be your best choice. The RR is harder.......more of a trackbike than an everyday commuter (which doesn't stop me from using it as such).........but I also attend track days, and that's where the RR really shows it's stuff.

So if you're going to be doing track days and such.........go with the RR. But if you are going to be riding around primarily on the street and commuting.......the F4i is a more comfortable and practical choice.

 

Ahhhh, screw that 600 crap. Get a busa.

Nah. What red fox said.

 

Double R

 

Go with what you feel comfortable with sitting on. They both are great bikes. The RR will be more of an aggressive seating position.

 

also depends on YOU personally. me i am a bigger dude but found myself to be less comfortable on the f4i. i feel better on a more race stance bike. which is why my 929 is awesome (shameless plug for the 929 owners!)

i didnt like where my feet were on the f4i but i have like size 15 feet so i mightve been fine if i got some rear sets. but you may be a smaller person and wouldnt have that problem . yes foxy is 100% but it comes down to how you feel on each bike and when you look @ it which one give you a hard on

for example:

 

if this is your first bike then neither is a good choice to start on... not trying to be an a** but you won't be able to come close to reaching the limits of either bike within the next few yearsif you don't know which one to get now

With thatif I can't persuade you to start on a 250I've ridden both bikes and I love the way the F4i rides but the 600RR definitely looks a little more aggressive... it's all up to what you're going for.

 

for ME if it isa before 06 rr i like the bigger fairings than the smaller ones they have on the newer rr's I hve an f4i and love it but either is a good choice wich ever one you like better.
