The new intro is sick 😎

[@smokethatbudd420]

My current bike is an 02 f4i. I absolutely love it. The look, the sound, the big sweeping analog tach. No riding assists whatsoever. Imo early to mid 00's was the golden era of sport bikes. It doesnt have the low end torque of a vtwin bike but the buildup to its 14500 redline is so sweet. I can merge onto the highway in 1st gear. You're one of the only people making modern f4i content. Cant wait to see more

[@roryhennessey1983]

I feel the same way about that era of motorcycles. Even my newest purchase, the 2017 Suzuki gsxs1000f has the k5 engine from that generation. That's the only reason I bought it. I knew that engine would last forever

[@mrnumberone615]

Same. I have a yellow 2001 F4i. 1st and only bike. It's just amazing. 68k miles and she's still kicking. I'd be really nervous getting a newer bike with all the modes and extra buttons😂.

[@schrodingersmechanic7622]

I've had an itch for an F4i. As far as sportbikes go, nothing beats a screaming 4 cylinder. I picked up a 954rr a couple years ago and I was blown away at how good that bike felt when you started to push it, especially in corners. When you get it on the side of the tire it just begs for more. The only problem is that you're doubling speed limits (or more) in the process. Really looking forward to seeing more F4i content in the future.

[@joetrosclair8434]

I had a 954RR. Would still be on it if someone hadn’t run a redlight. I’m on an 06 1000RR now. I’m a firm believer in to each, their own, but I don’t know how one could have an itch for any 600 when they have a 954😂. Unless you just want a tiny bit more sanity in your life 😉

[@friendlysnoworb6091]

@@joetrosclair8434 "any 600". off the top of my head, the 954 is heavier than an r6

[@joetrosclair8434]

@@friendlysnoworb6091 I’m guessing You probably didn’t know the 954 was lighter. Let me give some perspective as someone with first hand experience. I’ve ridden the F4i. I owned an 954 for almost 2 years and logged approximately 12k miles on it in that time. When people who didn’t know what it was saw it they commonly asked if it was a 600. I could come to a stop waiting to turn into my neighborhood and just sit. Feet on pegs. Just sit stopped. That’s not difficult but this thing did it way longer than any other bike I’ve been on in over 30 years of riding. You think about going somewhere and that’s where it goes. The Power Band starts around 4K! You have to make a conscious effort to keep the front end down. Every time I rode the front wheel came up at least once. Never. Ever. Tried to do a wheelie but I was on one wheel every ride but it was absolutely perfect and even a couple of times I had the rear step out and instead of a high side just a tiny let up on on the throttle and I was back to straight arrow with no shimmy. Also, I caught air off a couple of bumps and it landed smooth as silk. It’s crazy good. I’m now on an 06 Fireblade. It’s a bit heavier and only a tiny bit slower to 60 and a little more top endy but still an awesome ride.

[@grahamhough8658]

The f4i has always been on my watch list since I started riding in 2008. Great job on fixing it up, it looks fantastic!

[@spitescorner]

[@lucress9319]

One of the BEST inline 4’s out there. They’re a blast to ride and have a more upright seating position which is significantly more comfortable.

[@jmfreestuff73]

I have a Hornet 600. 70,000 miles and never been on a track. It's my 1st "big bike" after passing my UK bike test and I gotta say I love it to bits. Because the power is high in the power band it made it a good 1st bike because I was too scared to use it and being a naked bike it was more comfortable and street focused for my 200 mile a week commute.

[@CRFLAus]

I had an 01 model. Did 50,000km's (31,000miles) on it with no problems. Went knee down at an indicated 224kph (139mph) at turn 3 Phillip Island. That bike taught me how to ride properly.

[@AusMotorcycleAdventures]

brought one brand new in 2002, did about 85,000km on her, easiest bike to do wheelies and knee dragging on. took it touring, racing, even did some local drags on her. never let me down. regret selling it but had to due to injury after a shoulder reco, had to go to hydrolic clutch, and went to a new 2011 vfr800

[@AusMotorcycleAdventures]

i should of kept it, and put the forks, front end and shocks on the vfr as they are a direct swap, although i ended up putting Wilber's springs front and 641 rear but kept the linked brakes.

[@dhanso928]

I got an 2002 for our local track, O RP in Grass valley Oregon. A tight track with lots of elevation rollers. It's perfect, the f4i. Nothing goes through the corners better and the 1000s hate me because I lap with them easily. I did a lot for track setup. Braided lines. Race tech fork springs and raised the legs about 1/2"..Shimmed the rear shock up a little of course, tires...Dunlop Q3s last time out. Tank grips for my knees, and swapped the shift pattern to GP, tromp down to shift up coming out of corners beats trying to get under the lever at knee-down lean. Love it at the track. Ok then, I also stuffed the seat, stick some 1" risers under the bars, slacked off all the settings and have gone on 3 4 day trips to montana and idaho, on twisty roads, of course. And even some long dirt and gravel.... which sticks to hot Q3s, BTW Best track bike yet, except for maybe a Honda Hawk I built way long ago. Triumphs, mostly in my past till that Hawk, then a vfr, now the f4i..Too bad, but track days are few lately due to the cost. Nice video, but your wrong about the 600 being not really good at the street.. I'm amazed when just touring along at 4-6 grand and roll it on right there to pass...Yes, it's fun to back shift 3 or 4 gears and wheelie away at 14k (redline on my 2002) but you don't have to, it's a remarkable bike.

[@docsamson2299]

My Tahitian Blue F4i was my first big bike. Put close to 30k on her but got tired of messing with the fairings for every little maintenance item. Nice to see you putting one back on the road!

Yes I've got a 2012 CBR 600rr and I absolutely luv it! And it's extremely reliable...put over 20,000 miles on it and not any problems...that baby just runs very well. Oh and I'm 60yrs old btw I enjoy riding it on the roads.. no track time with it...also own a Dyna '04..it's got a worked motor...so with the motorcycles I have it covers all bases very well.

I have an ‘01 F4i, white & red with the split seat. Yeah, touring capable my foot. It’s definitely a 600 supersport, first. I will also confirm that Spite is correct about the party starting at 10,000 rpm. It’s plenty quick, and I bought it primarily for track riding. It’s more capable than me. Glad you got it, Spite. It’ll be a great bike. But the lack of side fairings makes me sad. I know, it’s easier to work on, but come on, don’t let it run around without pants!

[@TarpsOnTwo]

I picked up a 2005 Yamaha R6 this last summer as my 2nd bike moving up from a Ninja 250. Had to do a bunch of work to get it ride-worthy but it was a fun process. Was able to ride it for a couple months before winter showed up. It's been a decent learning curve but also an absolute BLAST! Biggest thing I had to learn was to manage the weight and seat height. Yeah I dropped it a couple times at a stop. You're so right in your points you stated with that classic motorcycle sound with the inline-4. Definitely feels super stable at speed in a lean. Can get into law-breaking speeds pretty damn quick lol. Was only able to fit in some spirited street rides but already signed up for a cornering course and a track day next year to really get my comfort peaked on this. Can't wait! Until then, some winter wrenching to be done. Thanks Spite!

Currently commuting on it until I can source replacement plastics and give it the resto it deserves.

[@Got2GooF]

Started with a '92 F2 recently & boy are these things fun. Its been a bit a learning curve but worth saving it from being junked. Hard to find mechanics that want to work on carbs in Miami, so I had to do trial & error to get it running. It was the best decision ever to learn how to work on your own bike. Little more tlc & fresh paint & she'll look better than showroom quality.

[@smalaj1]

I had an f4i and sold it. I loved it for many reasons but ultimately didnt like waiting for the power delivery for street use. I loved the shape of the gas tank and how it supports your knees, helps keep your weight off the bars. Ultimately, my sv650 power delivery was hard to match compared to the f4i waiting to wake up. You HAVE TO be mindful of gear position when getting technical in twisties- if you're in too low a gear, you get on the throttle and...nothing there. Not too fun for street use.

[@TT_ClubRacing]

I've had both bike and I promise you, the f4i will lap the sv650

Nothing beats a screaming I4 or I6. Anyone remember the Honda RC166? Redline 18k rpm. Woohoo...just music to the ears. There's a local that has a green F4i who screams through town and just sounds so glorious. Of course, screaming a 599cc is easier to do street legal than my 06 cbr1000rr but would still like a F4i in the stable some day along with a supermoto converted CRF450R or CRF450X again. I agree, newer bikes are adding way too many rider aids, technology that is taking away from the true essence of the raw riding experience and freedom. All my bikes are or have been mid 90's to mid 2000's. Can't wait to see what you do with this F4i.

[@Favk21]

I was seriously considering an older R6 or F4i, but their insurances were quite high for their power and predicted their peak powerband would be annoying in street riding. Went with Blackbird instead. Now I have only marginally more expensive insurance, but torgue for days.

I like the "relaxed" ergonomics. You don't need anymore for the street and it is a bit more comfortable than the others. I owned a ninja 1000sx with relaxed ergonomics for sport touring and it was more than enough to have a ton of fun and not break your back in long rides.

[@babyvanta]

Much agreed about middleweight inline-fours getting us arrested. I've owned a CB650F for maybe 3 years as my daily (almost 60k miles) and I finally decided to get something smaller as a supplement because it only wants to be ridden at speeds inappropriate for the streets. Riding these types of bikes are incredibly frustrating at a normal pace despite being entirely competent and sharp machines. Looking at maybe a 300 for my next daily while I set the 650 aside as a track toy/sport tourer. It's still got plenty life left, but I'm getting tired of the urgent care visits and having to replace the handlebars and plastics every year. Funny enough, I highsided off my 650 shortly before the police scooped me up.

Was super nice low speed was really great had good parking lot manners with me surprisingly but I made the mistake of wacking the throttle just a little in first gear to "see what it'll do" and the front tire lifted up on me.

I'm sorry, I thought the uniform for riding a 600 was board shorts, a No Fear T shirt, Crocs & a helmet with a fluffy animal cover. When was sensible riding gear made an option? I love the ridiculous soundtrack of an inline 4, but with our local draconian road laws I wouldn't be able to get a 600 out of 1st gear most of the time. Luckily we have an abundance of i-4 250's that make around 45 hp at 14,500 rpm. And mine just needs the carbs balanced to get back on the road.

The F4i's are just solid motorcycles, also really popular here in Europe. Looked for a 600RR when I wanted to get into riding. Then thought about the ergo's, looked around found the F4i and predecessors. Few were available for sale and saw the Hornet, Bandit's, Z750, GSR's, GSX-S, Z8 and 900 etc. Adored them instantly, and went the naked bike route. 0 regrets. Riding wise, comfort wise, ergonomics wise a really fun commuter or long trip capable motorcycles. More then content with my Z750. Little less top RPM's but more torque from mid and still a nice play area up to 11 to 12k RPMS.

I think the reason people stunt it over a 636 is because it has a stronger frame, subframe and front end. 636 has more power but more likely to fall apart if you drop it learning stuff. And also the throttle is way smoother than an rr, you don’t want a twitchy throttle in a wheelie 😂 Although I have 2 stunted rr’s but I’ve never wheelie’d anything else so I don’t know any better

Spite, the closest thing I had to that thing you are on now was the Honda 599 (little Hormet?!), but I didn't own it too long because it enflamed my karpal tunnel. The engine was the same as your's but I think they de-tuned it. At the time (2013--14) I had two other bikes at the that I could ride, the '88 Hawk GT and the '01 SV 650. So, I unloaded the 599 for 31 hundred and a guy road up from Grand Rapids (I live in the U.P. of Mich) , bought it, stuffed it into a Honda Element and drove back down state. I had both the Honda and Suzuki at the same time and considered them to be very comparable bikes, except the Suzuke had 25 to 30 more horses over the Hawk gt even though they were both v-twin 650's.They both fell right into the curves with very little effort.

@@Fearless154 it seems to sit like one. still crouched over

[@Fearless154]

@@SummitCoyote It is because spite is a big guy, but the bike sits pretty upright, like the R3, Ninja 400, rather than the R6 and ZX6.

These bikes are rad, super underrated machines!

i bought a new one in 2008 (euro) thought it was a laid back honda sport bike. I was kinda wrong xD

[@BrandNew4U.]

I like both my 98 vfr 800 and 01 gxsr 600, I won't lie though the gxsr is like a bullet and the vfr is more like a fat beginner bike, although I still have all stock suspension on both of them rn they still certainly feel powerful enough for the streets.

[@johnengland8619]

I have a 03 vfr and a 125cc town bike, the scooter is the mule and the vfr is the thoroughbred

After your ZX6R review i thought you would swear off sportbikes for good. I have found that very small ergonomic tweaks make a HUGE difference in comfort. The slightly relaxed ergonomics here are an example. How is the gearbox?

[@spitescorner]

Classic Honda, super easy to use, though my bike's natural speed sensor doesn't work anymore. I can't idle it with the kickstand down.

[@ThreeB78]

I have the later cbr600f and would disagree about it being useless tbh. It seems like it can down everything but i am a noob. I'd say jack of all trades...master of none. Ideal as my first big bike though

[@drunkredninja]

stunt it out bruv, the 03/04 636 is incredibly hard to find but the f4i is great because it's bulletproof. all it needs maybe is the saggy arse fix and you can pancake them all day. 636's have a weak frame.

[@BenYarmis]

Ooo digging the new intro!

[@joedoe8655]

I have a 2005 CBR F4i and it has been tried to get stolen 3 times. 3 times they drilled my ignition!!!

[@adamritchey4209]

It's frustrating to me that it's always about "you don't need this for the street". No one even needs a motorcycle. It's a toy. Get what you want. I'll take my liter bike on the street unnecessarily hauling my giant ass around at ease vs a ninja 400 struggling to move me up a hill. Same goes for 600s. People like what they like. Not sure what sentence triggered this rant, but I'm sorry either way. Just tired of hearing anything related to "not necessary for the street" I guess.

[@tipo17d]

Spite you shoud tray yamaha thundercat, more midrange power an peek power is 1000rpm lower

[@vask3863]

Doesn't the RR has _shorter service intervals_ in comparison to the F4i? By the way, how similar is the F4i in comparison to the CB600F Hornet?

[@heheboi-or9ex]

how still do you like this bike ? i found one in my country for RM 17000 approximate to $ 3600 USD . is ok ?

[@ryanvtec3885]

Put 75 000miles on my 1990 cbr 600 in 10 years. The sound of a inline 4 carbed nevee gets old

[@richthereturnrider6737]

I’m looking fo my first track bike. Can you still find parts for that thing?

[@frankmericle7379]

Wish you would talk about the Harley Davidson Fatboy comparison the twin and the new m8 I'd like to know what you think of it

[@revmatchproductions]

Supercross ads on your videos spite! Nice!🤙🏼

[@stugatz2664]

get your hands on a 2008-2011 cbr1000rr..... that is a bike you can have a ton of fun on without having to wind the motor into the stratosphere to enjoy the power.. mine pulls HARD from 5 grand up... and around 7500 the front wheel will start t "dance" if you roll into it harder.. sooo much fun! but remember it can break every speed limit in 1st gear by 10 000 rpm! lol but you can an absolute blast on her in the first 3 gears and not have to end up doing 130 mph lol

[@Wexfordpunisher]

I love mine it for town use an back roads n goes great aint let me dwn since i boight it i had to clean carb i have a r1 01but prefer the 600 for the handling n its nippy

[@Wexfordpunisher]
