Just got the 600Fi, terrific bike. I've been riding, off and on, since '74..enduros, 500 and 750 street bikes from the early 80's. Bought a '95 ninja ex500 early this year to try out the sport bike thing, really liked that little guy, thus the upgrade to the 600fi..the real difference, beyond the obvious power difference, is the handling of the 600. The tight turning radius and the way you can really feel the handlebars turn in corners is very, very different from the bikes with the longer (?) wheelbase, or rake, or angle of forks, or whatever the technical term is. you're insane if you buy a 600 sport for your first bike! These are real life racing machines...you are just an inexperienced throttle twist, or panic squeeze on the front brake lever from going down, and going down hard! You will fight the tight steering and you will likely sit too upright. It's unnatural to stick your face right behing the little windshield when you first start riding. Yet, this is a review, ain't it? I adore this bike. I'm stunned by the advances in motorcycles, particularly sport bikes. My new (to me) 2002 600fi reminds me of skiing. I was zipping down the highway last night and it felt like I was riding a dart or an arrow. I was laying on the tank, my knees in the little concaves on the side of the tank, the balls of my feet on the pegs and I could steer the damn thing just by pressing down with my big toe!! Unreal. I have no idea how to set the gizmos for the suspension, or what optimum tire pressure is yet, should be fun to tinker to my style. I fight the stupid thing a little too much on tight city corners, it just does not lean the same way as the ninja, but when I have nailed a few good corners, it was quite thrilling. I have GOT to get a pair of riding pants, there's no doubt I'll dump this thing!

Well what can I say; my red/black 2004 F4i has been an absolute DREAM! I bought the bike new on 10-17-04 with 3 miles on the clock. Now, 3 years later, she's at 105,208 miles (no that's not a typo) and still running as smooth and strong as she did the day I rolled her off the showroom floor. I never had any major problems; just a couple CCTs, a couple warped front brake rotors, 1 broken clutch cable at 65k and 1 rectifier/regulator right after turning 100k... that's it! All the rest has just been routine maintenance and normal wear items. This has got to be one of the best "all aroundgreat bikes out there. Awesome performance and handling, comfy ergos, rock solid reliability... what more could I ask for? I still love this bike and have no plans of getting rid of it anytime soon! It is still ridden each and everyday for my 90 mile/day commute to work and back, as well as road trips on the weekend. I just got back from a 10 day, 3000 mile road trip from south Florida to Deals Gap, NC, as well as TN and N. GA. No problems whatsoever!

I did buy this bike brand new in 2001 as a backup to my GSRX1100 which was being repaired. This little 600 is a joy to ride and brings smiles just as big as my '06 CBR1000RR that ultimately replaced the Suzuki. This bike is light, nimble and rails around corners. You can wind the throttle up without the fear of breaking the rear loose as you might on the liter bikes. It's reliable however I did have the Cam Chain rattle cured by replacing the tensioner. Very nice and still looking good. Red/Black.

Good throttle response, great breaks and as you can see from the mileage, this bike will go for a long time; as long as you can keep up with the maintanence. This is my first bike and I can't see any reason to scrap it for a bigger one yet since you really can't use all this one has to offer on the roads.

Well, I've had it now for a while. Although the season had ended I was able to get in some pretty good rides. Yes, I know. I'm in Colorado. Sometimes SHORTS in February. There will be some rides here and there, but by and large it's over. The F4 is SWEET. It purrs as long as you don't get on it'. Then it goes from panther to full lion. More powerful than fast, it is seamless in its delivery. And a bit about comfort. I must say that I was misinformed about the riding position on the F4i. Some riders told me a bunch of mess about the comfort level. It's VERY comfortable. Man! In fact, I can see where it is near just a real sporty looking standard. Not a sport bike per say. It was comfortable and easy to ride on the first day. Then it gets better. So, when the weather turns next spring, I'll talk to you again. Maybe by THEN you'll have yours.

Well, I've had my bike for a week and 3 days and I love it! I had not ridden a bike in 20 years. My experience was mainly on dirt bikes 350cc or smaller. I thought about buying a cruiser (Shadow 750), but in my heart I wanted a sport bike so that is what I got. While the cruiser would have been easier to sit on and reach the ground (I have short legs, heck I am short LOL) I will be purchasing a lowering kit soon and have the dealer install it for me. My main reason for getting a bike was because my truck sucks gas like a hog (16 mpg) and the bike is about 50 mpg. I ride to work at least 3 days per week and make all my little short trips to the store on the bike as well. I am very happy with the CBR 600 F4I!!!

Well it was a long process to decide what the next bike was going to be after my 1985 Honda VF700F. This bike won out of about 20 and I couldn't be happier. Pretty much the last gen. super sport Honda put out before the RR this bike is just at the line the ss bikes now are at. Handling is great, just point and shoot, the power curve is nice, not to mention that it's also heads above the rest in comfort. People who scoff at this bike are more than likely the ones that are being passed by it, a great track weapon and everyday rider, which mine is.
