Default Difference between CBR F3, F4, and F4i?

Hey eveyone I'm pretty new to the bike scene and have been looking around to buy a bike. I have seen these different CBR's (F3, F4, and F4i) but am wondering if anyone can explain what the differences are between them, thanks for any feedback.

The numbers go up because of the new "Generations." Like a Gen II accord etc...

91-94 = F2
95-98 = F3
99-00 = F4
01- > = F4i

HP changed from year to year, Frame, design, pretty much everything was updated from F2-F4. The dramatic change was the F4i which incorporated Fuel Injection, hence the i. Im sure im missing a lot but u get the idea.

I'd say that the F4 -&gt; F4i was not nearly as dramatic as the F3 -&gt; F4 shift. F4 and F4i each make roughly the same power (~1hp diff), are almost the same bike in all respects.

The F3 -&gt; F4 change was major, whole new bike.

f3-f4 change was dramatic. f2-f3 was more of a general update.

you're looking at an F3, unless you get lucky and find a great deal on an F4 this time of year...
