difference between cbrr600 and f4i??

Kenbo3399 · 11-24-2006, 1:21 AM

what is the difference between these 2 bikes? could anyone tell me?

Honestly, that's a pretty lame question. A bit of research would have lead you to the differences, and most people with half a clue about bikes should know. They're a completely different bike.

Essentially the RR was the new model, they went all 'super sports' mode and it's their current 600 pocket rocket.

Anyhoo, here's some reading for you.

Honda CBR 600 F4i

Honda CBR600RR - Review - Page 1 - Test

You can do more searching for the latest 600RR if you like. The F4i was around at the same time there for a while, but is now in the double seat mode.

In the *current guise* you can just check out the differences on the Honda American website.

PS: Stuff the RR, stick with the 636!

Kenbo,
As Mr. Fut so eloquently put it, the F4i is set up to be a more comfortable street bike while the RR is the sportier, race-like cousin.

Are you looking for a first bike?

i was lookin on here but i didnt really see anything. i looked on the honda site and the only thing really different about it that it said was the f4i has programmed fuel injection or something like that. thats why i was asking.
why do you say stick with the 636?

BDA116 · 11-24-2006, 7:35 PM

Because the 636, like the F4i is more of a street bike than a track bike. The 600RR, like the ZX6R, is more of a track weapon.

The f4i is a great bike and can be had for cheap now. IT is more of an all-arounder as it was desingened to be. the RR is a track weapon that is not as comfertable on the streat, but marginally. If you have the bucks to buy a newer bike buy the newer bike. The newer F4i's look like **** witht the banana seat.

GO with what you like and keep it to the 600's any of them are fine. If you get an older 01 to 03 bike it would suit you better than an 07 due to being a relatively new rider.

Keep the sticky side down and get to the track!

sheepofblue · 11-24-2006, 8:32 PM

Oh and while the RR is the track weapon an F4i is certainly up to track use.

robinski · 11-25-2006, 7:12 PM

If you live in the city ,unless you want to pose/race/trackdayonly get teh F4i.
Ive ridden both and although the RR is faster on the bends its not as user friendly and comfortable. Then again if you have to have the latest thing get the RR and associated back/wrist pain.

Kenbo3399 · 11-25-2006, 7:43 PM

thanks for the info everyone

FuTAnT · 11-25-2006, 8:59 PM

Hence my reasoning behing the 636 like you had. Well, ZX6R I should say, but anyhoo. They're more comfortable yet still a track weapon.

I hear this a lot. What is exactly wrong with the "banana" seat? Who cares about looks? It will get you where you want to go.

It's also far more comfortable, helping make it a better street bike.
