Default 03' cbr600rr vs 03'cbr600f4i

What are the differences between these two bikes? I personally don't like the exhaust placement on the 600rr. Besides this, is there any other performance differences?

if you're asking this question, then I don't think you should be getting one the 600rr is a much more performance oriented machine than the f4i. That's what everybody else would say too.

The chasis, suspension, engine, brakes, riding position, and the weight distribution. The chasis suppose to be stiffer (don't know the exact percentage), bigger forks, bigger front brakes, new rear Pro Link Unit swing arm, gas tank is lower, the engine makes 107hp+ (correct me if I'm wrong) compare to 90-95hp peek, sitting position is more aggressive and closer to the handle bar, RPM raised to 15.5k, etc...

It's kinda weird that the 600rr gained more weight than the previous 600f4i, but the 600rr is much more of a race replica than the cbrf4i. Honda designed it after their GP road bike.

Believe it or not, because the weight are all forward and the center of gravity is lowered, the bike feels lighter than the F4i for some reason. I sat on both at the show room and thought the RR was much lighter.

The extra weight comes from the new suspension system so any extra weight is all down low anyway.
