well the kings of stunt bikes are the f4i and the kawis. but dont really see a lot of 600rr out there. is there a reason? a lot of companies make parts for them, they getting older hence more parts are being available used, and seem to be a light bike. i know they MIGHT be fragile compared to a f4i cuz they a light race bike, but cant be any more fragile then a kawi. just wondering what peoples thoughts are

Balance point is really high and when you look at it without fairings, you'll see they are built completly different to F4i and 636. People still stunt them though.

Inconsistent idle is a big issue. Pain in the ass to install 2nd idle mod. Pain in the ass to do any maintenance under the tank.

well the f4i had inconsistant idle as well until i did the 2nd idle mod, wonder if there is a mod for something like that on the 600rr
thats interesting that it has a higher BP, i would think the shorter swing arm would help.

not really dead set on one. i had a f4i, just got rid of it due to financial reasons. i loved the bike, but now im looking to pick up another and f4is are becoming more rare to find. i dont think i would ever ride a kawi. im a honda person in cars and bikes and love how they perform and ride. so this was just another option i was looking into.

They are fun bikes, I wouldn't recommend for a learner bike just because it isn't going to like being slammed into the ground.
