My favorite street 600 of all time is the 2 seat F4i, Bars are high enough for long rides. Has plenty of power even had better 1/4 mile times than the first RRs. Plenty of bike for the street. Not a bad track bike either.

I have an 02 F4I that my wife rides, the F4I will go down as one of my all time favorites for sure.

Look at the fact that Yamaha makes the YZF600r, and for Kawasaki the zzr600. Those pretty much are the older style of the same bike.

The older bikes looks much much much better than the new ones.

I think older looks better.

And not the '06 ZX-10, either!!

as far as im concerned, the RC51 I owned was the best sportbike i've ever ridden. Close second being a zx7r I used for a day. Both inferior in every way, yet more fun than my 06 cbr1000rr ever was.

That is an older bike, not "last year's model". OTB's '84 GPz550 that he just got qualifies as an older bike.

BTW, my first street bike was a '77 KZ750 that had 1200 miles on when I bought it in '81. I put a LOT of miles on that bike.
