the F4i is hondas entry level bike


That is wrong on so many levels. An F4i, being a supersport, is certainly not an entry level bike. I think the rebel is their entry level bike. Big difference.

I agree, Entry level bikes wouldnt be made for the track. As thats what they were going for when they changed the design of the F41 to the F42 A.K.A the F4i. And as I said before the RR does not have a substantial amount of horsepower over the F4i. It is not going to rocket away from the F4i at any point in time. Infact i dont know anyone around here that is going to rocket away from me with a stock F4i or RR. If I dont win the race than my engine must have blown up.

online arguing is like running in the special olympics. it doesn't matter who wins or loses, everyone is still retarded.

the answer to the original question: the RR is faster. all variables aside, power to weight ratio decides that. but modify the bike and all bets are off. the most important factor is still rider ability. a good rider will outride a newbie, regardless of bike choice.

and onto my views on the "same engine" debate. i have no technical or insider info on whether they are the same or not. but if they were, wouldn't you see a bunch of f4i's running around with the advanced FI from the RR (and whatever other little differences that separate them) and putting out the same performance numbers? i've never heard of anyone doing this. so i will assume that they are different.

That was supposed to be a joke

I just think its funny because some of the people on here act like the RR has like 700 horsepower and the F4i has like 10 horsepower. As if the RR is going to Rocket away like a jet or something, leaving me like I was setting still.

Is a F4I faster than a RR? book answer no. on paper the RR is alot faster (oh and when your talking about motorcycles 10hp and 7 lbs is a big deal) But when racing it is all about the rider. I beat my brother's 1000rr on my 600rr to 100mph because he was trying to get his front tire back on the pavement (but he is a better rider and completely stomped my bike every other time we've raced) I agree that true motorcyle fun is cornering and that's where the RR really shines.

As far as the "great engine debate" goes, I never thought that they were the same engine. But I could be wrong. Are the head's interchangable? what about the crank, cam, pistons or valves? Can anyone produce Honda part numbers on the lower end for both bikes?( 06 models)And that article from woody states that they moved the crank the mainshaft and the counter shaft. If that's true you have two completely different engines. Changing the location of any one of those would change the block. If you would still call them that same engine after a change like that, then you might as well call the HEMI head the same head as a flathead just because they changed the placement of the valves and therefore reshaped the combustion chamber they are still the same. (before anybody says anything, chrysler also had a flat head engine not just ford.)

alright ladies and gentlemen, i'm making a judgement call. this thread has run way past it's point of usefullness. there are some good points and some funny arguments , but some feelings have been hurt and everything that could be said has already been posted. so i'm locking it up and throwing away the key! it can still be accessed by anyone wanting to know about the differences between the 600rr and the f4i, just no more posting.
