I guess
94.9 Hp @ 12,500 44.9 ft. # Torque at 10,000 weight of 440 Wet 2000 CBR F4 isn't very different than
106.9 HP @ 13,750 44.6 ft. # Torque at 11,000 weight of 429 Wet 2005 CBR 600RR.

Those are some sick wheelies! Just got the 1st gear power ups down and now working on my clutching just scared to be going to fast and it seems like you have to be 30-50 to get it up in 2nd gear.But I'm probably just chicken.I just got the bike a few months ago and I have not owned one in about 10 years but I was younger and had a band and we drank alot of beer so I wouldn't own 1 but those music days are over.

So far, after doing them a lot in the last 2 or 3 days, (Hopefully I will get some video Saturday) about 40 mph is perfect for me. I wish I would have started in second learning wheelies. Much smoother it seems like to me.

My friend had an 05 600rr and he couldnt wheelie at all even clutching it in first it would only come a few inches off the ground. My other friend rode it and is good at standups and he couldnt get them up. I hopped on it and hit 2nd gear around 8k and slipped it and rode a sit down for about 1/2 a mile. it seems you have to let your weight slide back a little. I aggree that the suspension is designed to stay planted. but as u practice in first i would practice tappin the rear brake as it comes up and get comfortable with it. that way if it comes up too fast you can stomp the rear brake and save your skin and new bike. Good luck and rock on

Why do you think so many stunters have f4i's?

The engine is located farther back in the fame than the RR making the front end lighter and easier to get the front wheel up with.

RR has a longer swingarm too...

nice job but watch them landings...cause i don't think your fork seals will be able to handle too many harsh landings!

a buddy i used to have had an F4i(2002) and the wheel would come up off of a hard acceleration not even chopping it. i was playin with clutchin it today and i can see how it would come up i was just pullin it in letting it rise and dumpin it and it would lurch forward now i need to focus on adding throttle to it and she should perk right up!
