Get new bike or not?
alright, heres the situation. i have a 2000 cbr600 and its carberated. ive been gettin better at slow wheelies n 12in and the bike doesnt like to run very well up there. i have a friend that would buy it for 1500-2000 and i have some cash in the bank as well and i was thinking i would do that and buy a fuel injected 600. do you think that it would be worth it?

I'm at the same point u are. I can slow stuff way down but it sucks and likes to die alot. But getting a different bike isn't gonna make you a better rider. Look at the people rockin old carbed bikes, edub jumps to mind cause he has the same bike as me. He's way better than me and still rockin an old carbed bike. I'd say if you can get a good deal on your bike, an amount that its actually worth, then sell it. But don't just sell it to get something new.

mine likes to die when i get past bp and am almost on the bar. it sucks when it does die and im not on the bar and then i come smashin down on the front tire. donno if a FI bike would help that. ive also always wanted an F4I cause i like the looks of the bike alot better plus it has 2 seats and mine has the bike stupid banana seat.

you guy bust on the 929 way to much i learned every thing ther on that bike it has awsome power and the motor is strong as hell dont get me wrong i like riding my teammates f4i but it would take alot of geting used to i like my bike being up ing my face as soon as i let out the clutch his bike is slugish geting it up the only down side to a 929 is the weight but you get used to it real quick

i got 2 F4s and an F4i. I like the F4s better. They pull every bit as strong on slow wheelies. i wouldnt spend too much doing the switch, its really not worth it
