when guys ask this qn, u shd also mention which ones discontinued and only available 2nd hand and which ones are available as new.....

 

if i not wrong, F3, F4 and F4i Sports no longer available as new, 2nd hand models onli. F4i Touring still produced but seems u all mention locally never bring in anymore. RR 03/04 no longer available as new but shd be easy to get 2nd hand. RR 06 i think still can find, plus probably discounted due to arrival of 07. and of coz 07 next march u can place order

[ellamcoy]

Juz sold my 600RR due to biz commitment

 

Still prefer the 03 to 05 look... 07 not really that catchy on the out look.

mind sharing why u preferred the F4i over the RR? curious.

 

i bought the RR instead of the F4i coz it obviously looked fiercer, and cant deny its more 'hardcore' than the F4i, plus newer tech and specs. but sometimes i wonder, looks aside, end of the day would i realli prefer a more 'hardcore' bike, do i really 'use' the more modern tech and specs, or would a softer option actually turn out to be more suited to my needs...

 

of coz at this point i'm loving my RR to bits.

Hahaha, actually i like both the RR and F4i...in a diff way. The RR is really a muz more fiercer bike. 13K at 2nd gear and the bike dun complain at all. Swift sharp handling and very "easy" to ride...as in u dun need to drop gear to overtake. All the thing a sport bike lover can ask for is in it blue print!

 

On the down side of the RR, below 5Krpm with stock exhaust it is juz like a Super 4 with fairring, hahaha..56hp. Only when u swing the needle abv 5.5K, it will unleash the power of the dark side. One thing i was dissapointed is the FC, hell it drinks like a 1000cc muscle! On my second tank of petrol i already regret sellin the F4i. According to my caculation, the 600 actually drinks muz muz more than my old V-twin

 

In contrast, the F4i delivery more milage with the same gallon. The riding posture is muz more friendly. Look wise it is still a sharp lookin machine with loads of horse packed in a compact engine. Thou it takes a wider turning angle than the RR, but at the end of the day, u will not suffer any wrist pain. Pick up is definately better than the RR...i also dunno why. When it comes to routine servicing of d F4i, it is quite clear cut, fuel tank upz and that it...when it comes to RR, fuel tank upz, air box and many others stuff u name it have to come off before the mech can have a visual contact with the plugs....each service i ended up payin more for the additional work, damn.

 

F4i have the issue of the cam tensioner lifter, not a big issue but the sound is irritating initially, after a while...u can't live without it...hahaha. RR comes with automatic tensioner lifter which eliminate that problem all together.

 

End of the day which amaze mi is the value of Honda, it is really rock solid. No matter wat i will still stick to a Honda. Say it with mi: "Bullet Proof Engine!"

consider de fact that de RR were just 1 of those replica riding postion model source from de grand master ducati 916.

 

it a wise choice to sell de RR.

 

end of day...nothing beats de original style....from de 916 which was such sccuess in making de japs follow on design on de "ride-on" style position.

Ya the posture is similiar but somehow diff...also cannot explain in words... we have to give the kudos to the jap that the RR is so well built that small-medium female can pick up the handling quite easily

 

I dun mind keeping the RR, juz that i frequent more in-town riding than track and moving around town in that posture can kill..hahaha....juz kidding...fuel consumption in low speed is really expensive and the heat with tie....is really a bad combination...hahahaha

sadly..de RR were more track-oriented but still lose out (in stock form) to yummy or gixxer.....etc.

 

yet to really use it for daily transport...so i cant comment on that.
