so whats the major differences between the 600rr and the f4i beside the looks? i mean theres only like a 200-300 price difference in them. i'm gettin ready to buy a new 600 sport bike and really want a honda so obviously its one of these 2. anyways anybody want to give me some info or opinions?

 

i dont know specifics really, but i believe the 600rr is more of a race bike....
i know around here, all racers from all over, are ordering those so..

f4i is just PIMP !

but for tech stuf, im not sure

 

F4i is definitely better for stunting, the 600RR is better for racing. You need to decide what you are going to be doing.

 

yup they are both right on this one. even though they all are made to race on the track, the 600RR is more able on the track.... and personally looks better....

I have seen one wheelie (600rr) and I rode it and is light as hell...for the 04 stuuff , haven't ridden any...

 

right but in a lot of ways wrong... doubt he's ridden either of them so I will clarify for you.

Ridden both bikes, and I've had a F4i for a long time now. The RR would be one hell of a stunt bike in my opinion if you had the funds to keep it going. It's got the power, the balance is really good, and it's light as hell. However the prices for things like fairings, clipons, etc...are hella high because the bike is new. I think the RR would be one of the best if not the best 600cc race bike.

The F4i is a good all around bike, plenty of power for newbs and experienced riders alike, it's dependable, and parts are readily available. I've beaten the living hell outta my f4i and it just keeps coming back for more. I like it a lot because of the stance of it. I like a bike that is a little bit fatter, so bikes like the Yamaha just don't do it for me.

If you're talking first bike here, I would say the F4i definately. YOU WILL DROP YOUR FIRST BIKE!!! No questions asked, wether you stunt, race, or just ride the bitch to school and back it'll see pavement someday. So the F4i would be a lot tougher for that.

 

whats so horibile about stuntin a 600 rr personally i think you could rock the s*it out of it

 

man if you're talking brand new, steer away from both. If you want F4i get a used one 2001 - 2003...the new F4i's are **** from what I've heard. They look like a fuggin sport touring bike, and I here the engine and tranny combo are leaning more towards that too. I'm not too big on either of Honda's new bikes, however I'm totally in love with the new ZX10R!!!

 

werD...i think the same thing...i just ain't got the funds to keep that suga momma going when I go down on it.

 

i can agree about the price of parts but in a few years they will be cheap, my guy gotta 600 rr and it would be a pimpin stunt bike very stable and smooth and plenty of power for a 600

new f4i sucks they brought back that full seat deal like they had on the f4 but the older f4is are pimp sh*t

like i was sayin my boy has a 600rr and it is his first bike and like dude says if its your first bike your gonna drop it , but yep he dropped it and i am just finishing up with the paint its flip flop looks i'll post pics once its finished

 

me too. There is a guy that bought a zx-10 and another guy who bought the new 04 r1. The r1 guy has NEVER broiken the speedlimit on his yzf 600 (NOT r6). The guy on the ZX 10 can't even bring it up more than 12in off the ground.

Both these money wasting idiots should have never even bought either bike as they neither will evern use the bike for what its worth....

I seriously dislike people like this.,..

as you can see absolutely no weight difference between the bikes when they are dry...the 600rr is just more balanced. The bike is just centered that much better. Which makes it one badass stunt bike in my opinion, I ain't gonna buy one, but if you get one and want to trade straight up I'll do it

 

people like that kill me , like i gotta 1k how do i wheelie it ,

 

I'm sure you would.... , as I would too...

 

well it wont be my first bike so i'm good there. and i agree that the older f4i's look better b/c no banana seat. the only reason i might get a brand new one is b/c the financing is better than goin thru the bank for a used one.

 

isnt the RR motor bigger? I know its a 636cc but I'm not a 100% sure how big the f4i is. more useless knowledge

 

that's what I'm sayin.....I'm prob. gonna get the 2004 F4i

One of my friends ows a 600RR, and he sais it's the hardest thing to get off the ground, and some other people have said the same...It is a track bike, so its centered to stay on the track, not bust wheelies...

The new F4i, is more disigned to cruize and chill, but still is pretty fast...

 

if you read the specs I posted about that I got directly from Honda you'll see that both are 599cc's. Exact same displacement and weight, the RR is just tuned more

 

too hell with that...the RR will wheelie more than an F4i. If he can't get it off the ground he doesn't need to be riding it. That bike is a wheelie machine!!
