Hey I need your guys opinions. I got my M class license about 2 years ago in hopes of buying a bike, but eventually I ended up not getting one and got my S instead. Now I'm back in the market in getting a first bike.

The one on the top of my list is a used F4i. I've also considered the yzf600r but the F4i is what I'd prefer. What would your guys opinions be for the F4i to be my first bike. Good, no good? The seating position didn't seem harsh (compared to the 600RR or the R6) when I sat on it. Looks great and gots more than enough power for me (well for now while I get experience on it ). So what do you guys think. Any help is welcomed. Thanks

Charles

 

get one!

 

CBR 600 F4i is a great first bike Very easy to ride compared to the R6. Even the CBR 600 RR is easier to ride than the R6.

 

What they said.... Although I love my F4i, I'm ready to move onto a bigger bike.

 

Great first bike!!!! The F4I is probably the most comfortable bike on the market. (the 04's are a little different because of the remodel) Very light, comfortable, and easy to ride. The 600 RR is more of a race bike and will not be as comfortable nor will it be as easy to ride. Good Luck with whatever your choice is!

I wish i bought a HONDA!!!!!

 

I bought a 250 Kawi as my first bike, definately a step down from those bikes, but it is teaching me how to really drive the bike, and it's cheap. I've got a CBR F4 waiting for me though when I feel comfortable enough to ride it all the time though.

 

The 600rr is pretty much the tamest sport bike out right now... so go for the black one and try not to get to distracted by all the ladies hollering. Considering that, the F4i is safer more ways than the obvious.

 

The 600RR is the most uncomfortable POS ever. But after 500 miles in like 2 weeks, it doesn't really annoy me anymore. If you got a really good price on the F4i, then I would say go. Otherwise I'd shoot for a 600RR or mebbe an R6.

Honestly the top end of the 600s from any manufacturer are all pretty much the same to me (with exception of the torquieness of the 636) and it all boils down to little doo-dads here and there that separate them.

 

I bought an F4i as my 1st bike and would highly recommend it to anyone as a 1st bike (just as along as you have some riding experience.)

 

Thanks for the responses guys. Well it looks like that I'll might be getting a 600RR instead this weekend. The price difference is only $400 and the used F4i that I was trying to get was just recently sold. Thanks again.
