chuey -> RE: for the f4 owners heres a little info that looks good! (4/10/2005 8:26:34 PM)

I owned a '03 R6 before my F4. Everything the article says is true. The snappiness of the R6's engine is just downright scary. The EFI and throttle response is super sensitive. And the wheelbase is short, get down on the tank and you really feel connected to the front wheel and the ground. You really have to keep mindful of throttle response on the R6 its that sensitive. Too much for me in the real world. Also just too track oriented for me. Even my brother who rides an RC51 said the R6 was downright scary. But it's like what the article said...the freaking thing is a torture rack, your wrists hurt, legs cramp, back hurts from sitting in the racer crouch. It's not very good for real world use let alone stop and go traffic in urban areas. I also owned a YZF600R. The F4 is almost as comfy as the YZF600R, but its a lot lighter more flickable. Also the throttle repsonse is ultra smoothe on the F4 which is just absurd, I found it a lot easier to wield the F4 this morning on my first ride with the thing.
