Yea, i do like the F4i but everyone says that it only wants to come up with the clutch even in first....is this true? Also, the kind of stunting i do is just like wheelies here and there nothing slow or really difficult....so thats what i need a bike to be able to do. I am considering a 929 or 954 but also a 600 so i'm not sure...What does everyone think about a gixxer 6, R6, or the 636??

are you saying that your F4i will only come up in second, clutching it on rear pegs?

Thats wierd cause I can clutch 2nd gear sitting down with barely any effort.

Rich-NY, thats what i was thinking too....i figured that you should be able to power up a f4i in first, bounce it in second or clutch it in second....whichever you prefer...right...

f4i is a easy bike to wheelie on compared to the kawi 636,and the r6 they are harder to control

I have rode 600's for the last few years and I have to say that the new 636 and the F4i are easy to lift the front and are easy to control.

I have only 1 tooth down in front. I can bounce it in second and 3rd. And I can clutch it in second with no problem at all

My friends f4i is stock and he clutches 2nd and 3rd.

Robbie can only hope to improve
I have stock gearing and it will come up with just throttle in 1st, it will bounce up in 2nd and 3rd. There is very very lil effort to clutch it up in 2nd for sitdowns.

This is all on a 03 R6

I would say F4i first then the 636. I found those real easy to wheelie. I dont like the R6 I ve had to many scares on those.

Thanks for all of the replies everyone....well it looks like if i go with a 600 for my next bike it will probably be an f4i or a 636....however if i dont go with either of them, its going to be either the 929 or the 954. Either way, the zx7r has to go...just too big of a pain in the *** to wheelie it and what not....
