Ok. I said I would update my review once I rode the Gixxer (Suzuki GSX 1000). It's a racing motorcycle, and it rides like one. The front bar handles actually touch the gas tank when you try to turn the bike. Of course, you may not need to do much turning, but it simply doesn't have all the clearance the CBR 600 F4i has. The Gixxer is made for racing, and a lot of body manuvering. The tank is so much bigger than the CBR tank. The handling is not as smooth, and the ride is not nearly as comfortable. No banana seat like the CBR. However, the Gixxer is a Monster when it comes to power and speed. Simply frightening. I didn't open it up, but I felt the potential power. The CBR is multipurpose; cruising, long rides, racing and over all enjoyment. The Gixxer is primarily for racing, and undoubtedly outrunning everything in site. Considering my personality, and what I want to do I'm keeping my CBR 600 F4i. I'm going to purchase a full racing exhaust system, and a power command and call it a day! I've been on the Yamaha R1, Suzuki GSX 1000 and many other bikes. The only brand I'm most comfortable on is Honda brands of all sorts. I just happen to like the way the F4i looks in comparison to other CBRs, but all Hondas feel good!!! Will update you all once I make the changes to my bike.
