Eventually the YZF will have valve and timing chain problems. The CBR will only maybe have the timing chain tensioner lifter problem, which is an easy fix. Yamaha engines are notorious for sucking the valves up in the head, eventually causing engine failure. Also weak clutch basket scatter problems. But like the previous guy said, opinion may be biased. I will buy anything if I can make money on it, but I will only keep Hondas. I have a 1998 VFR800 which is my permanent fixture. The CBR is a great, reliable bike though. I have an '02 in my garage right now. Loads of fun in the corners.

Now that is funny. When looking at bikes I kept going back and forth one these exact two bikes. Honestley the thing that made my mind was the fuel injection on the F4i. I don't want to have to synch carbs, or rejet because I bought a slipon. The thundercat has a very loyal following though, I don't think you will go wrong with either bike.. But I LOVE my f4i.

That is good to know. I had no idea the YZF had issues. I almost bought an 02 R6 before I got my F4i, but found out they have issues too. Clutch seems to have problems and is costly to fix.
From what honda502 stated about the YZF and from my biased view, go with the F4i. I love mine.

I would say honda. I know a few people with Yamaha's and they aren't as reliable.

Yeah, you really gotta be careful when asking a question like that on a CBR forum....that is like asking Giants Fans what team they like best......
