Good info that on the F4i, now I am leaning more and more towards it. Glad that Honda gave this one a comfy seat.Ninja Geoff wrote: That's because, well, the F4i IS outdated. It came before the RR. And until the RR came out, it was Honda's top of the line 600cc sport bike. It used to come with a similar dual plank seat that the RR has now, but they kept it around, swapped to a more comfortable seat, and it filled the niche they wanted perfectly. A middleweight, fast, high performance, COMFORTABLE, bike that was somewhat easier to commute and deal with traffic with than it's RR breathren. THAT'S the beauty behind the F4i. That's also it's selling point to me (when i can afford it, upgrading from my 650R to an F4i most likely). Now if you want something that's going to live on the track, or you don't mind the extreme seating position and touchyness that's inherent with the full bore out-of-the-box-race-bikes then go with the RR! Or an R6. Or a ZX-6R*. Or a GSX-R 600. You'll love any of them (if extreme performance is your goal).
*quick note on the ZX-6R. Until this model year, Kawasaki had a ZX-6R, and a ZX-6RR. The 6R was also dubbed the "636" due to it's 636cc motor. And the 6RR kept a traditional 599cc motor (i'm assuming for WSBK, AMA, etc) and got the REAL top of the line stuff. Now, for 2007, the ZX-6R/636 was dropped, and they re-named (and re-did IIRC) the ZX-6RR as the ZX-6R. SO the ZX-6R now has a 599cc motor. Just something to be aware of if you end up shopping new kawasakis.
Personally, I love Kawasaki's maybe its the name that does it for me.
But unfortunately Kawasaki's are no longer available in Dubai. Which is such a shame. Now only Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki and Ducati's bikes are available and not all the models.
BTW, neat bike that 650R ...
