zx9r or F4i?

Hey you guys i'm thinking of selling my Zx-9r and getting a cbr600f4i. Do ya'll think this is a wise choice. I love the power and torque of the big bike, but the cbr is so much lighter, and since i'm only 155lbs, maybe it would help me control the bike better while wheeling. Will a 600 bounce up a standup wheelie in 2nd with no problem? what about clutching it up in 2nd sitting down? How high is the balance point on this bike? Some of you guys that are rockin a cbr give me some advice.

Re: zx9r or F4i?

do it, comparing the 9r to a f4i is like comparing a H2 to an bmw x5. get it. yes a f4i will clutch up 2nd sitting down, i had -1 and it would clutch up 3rd sitting at highway speeds.

...my team-mate has a zx-9 and it's ok for most stuff ...but it sucks for slow stuff . The carbs flood out. Get the f4i. You won't regret it!

Re: zx9r or F4i?

I like my zx-9 i can do decent 2nd gear standup wheelies on it, and it will clutch up no problem in 2nd sitting down, but it won't even try to come up in 3rd sitting down. I know it should, I'm probably just not doin it right. I might just have to get a f4i though. :YEAH

Re: zx9r or F4i?

honestly if your lookin for a good stunt bike.
stay away from the 9r. I love my 6r but it does flood out with slow stuff. The carbs get all clogged and you have to clean them out everytime. Its worthless.

Get something fuel injected. 636, or F4I.

Re: zx9r or F4i?

f4i = best stuntbike out imo

Get it & go with -1 +3 520 chain.

Re: zx9r or F4i?

definitely go with the f4i. But if you wanna stay with the big liter and get more out of the bike then shoot for a 929RR. That is the best bike for stunting that i have ever owned.

Re: zx9r or F4i?

I have a 02 F4i and an 02 954. Both are kickass for stuntin. If you wanted to stay litre, go with the 954, it weighs almost the same as the f4i but w/ more power and torque. But if you are good, u can stunt the f4i like a madman. Just my

Re: zx9r or F4i?

I like my F4I a lot better than my gixxer 750 for stuntin. But, I do miss the power that my 750 had. Hands down F4I!! :YEAH

Re: zx9r or F4i?

Highway sitdowns rock on ZX9R. Smooth and confy, lotta powa. Never tried slow stuff so I don't know, but if you're into highway stuntin' while commiuting, team grean is the choice. F4i is awesome, and lot's of parts available. If I had enough cash , I'd buy one
