i did notice it was quite a dog in the turns tho. its nimbleness is a couple good notches below the RR. wouldnt weave like i wanted it to. but it was def fun as a stunt bike...but now i understand when people say the RR feels like it "falls" into turns...hehehe
Well of course it is...the RR is the most advanced of the 600-series bikes Honda has to offer. If it were worse in handling than the F4i, it wouldn't make a whole lot of sense to have an F4i and RR line. They would be one and the same.
If you remember when the F2 came out, Honda marketed it as a "sport tourer" replete with bags for long distance riding. In 01, Honda made a serious effort to catch up with Suzuki's GSXR 600s and marketed the F4i as a supersport bike. In the passage of time (present), the CBR line has been split, so to say, into a sport tourer (F4i) and supersport bike (RR). I'm sure that in the near future, the next generation of RRs will make today's version seem like dogs in the turns too.
Until then, appreciate both bikes for what Honda brings to the table; comfort (F4i) and racing (RR).
Cheers!
