Does anyone read the SuperBike mag out of the UK. Its a great publication, with lots of good info. Anyways, they used to compare all the different used bikes (600, 750, 1000, v-twin, etc..) in different classes. Reigning champ was the "99+ CBR F series", "best all-around bike that money could buy." Now I might be a little biased, but this does say alot. I can push away from my buddies 01 GSXR-600 and another friends 99 R6. Now a new bike probably not, but all and all the CBR was a great bike, easy to fix, and easy to get mods for it. I could have never made a better purchase. Peace

Well if the F4 makes about 90-95 HP at the rear tire then that would make it about 110HP at the crank.  When a new vehicle be it car,truck or bike is HP rated it's always at the crank-not the wheels.  A stock 1990 Mustang GT is rated at 225HP,but only put's about 200HP to the wheels.

I do know that my bike is damn fast for a older carbed 600.  The same day I got my F4 I was looking at a 2001 R6 and I choose the F4-glad I did.

those #'s dont take into account the gain from the ram air either.

A friend of mine has an 05 R6 (the same as the newer R6-s) and his bike is no faster then mine. He has a two bros pipe and a PC. With the sprocket kit, I pull from him pretty good. F4s arent as slow as people make them out to be.

I think when they rate bikes its always at the wheel? Since it would be hard to dyno a motorcycle engine without the transmission? 

283racin -> RE: R6 and my F4 (5/8/2008 7:25:48 AM)

One of my friends has a brand new r6 and the other a almost new gsxr 600 and my bike will eat the gsxr and the guy with the r6 has to clutch his to get a jump to get by.. Everyone said that the carb'd bikes dont run near as well as the injected ones but mine seems to hold its own. Mine used to carry the front wheel thro first and second but now since it got backed into and tipped over it barely comes up in first and forget about second.. dont know what could have been messed up but its buggin me..

jessej05 -> RE: R6 and my F4 (5/8/2008 9:42:32 AM)

well 283 me and my buddy went to the drap strip last weekend. his 04 r6 power commander,exhaust,filter,4up in back and 2down in front. and lowered. and my 99f4 filter and exhaust. we raced three times. first time i ran a 12.3 and he ran a 11.9. i dont member the other three times but he always won. but! it was darn close. im thinking about running the 520 conversion and seein if it helps. 

N8 Dawg -> RE: R6 and my F4 (5/8/2008 10:41:05 AM)

this is an old thread...but anyways the guy with the r6 totaled his bike a few weeks back is what my buddy said...said he lost control in a turn and the bike hit a tree. from what my buddy said he walked away from it...

but anywas back to the r6 I wasnt impressed...
