I would say that bikes today are all so close performance wise...get what fits your riding style best.  You can have the "best" bike...but if it doesn't fit your riding style, it will not matter.

I've only owned a F4 so I'm not really sure what my riding style is. I do no Track riding (yet) and I have not taken it to the strip (yet)... I know for a fact that every bike that I will own will be able to out do what i can ask it to. I'm asking along the lines of comfort, handling, and track / strip capablities. I'm really trying to decide between F4i and R6. I have talked with both dealers and I can get the R6 for $6900 and the F4i for $7200. Just looking for help in either direction

Man, I feel ya on that.  Both bikes are pretty bad machines.  I am not sure what I would do in your position to be honest.  If you are torn between just those two as far as performance...pick whichever you think looks the best.
Also, if you plan on adding aftermarket parts to it...do some comparison shopping to see what will fit your needs there as well
Best advice I got on that one.  Not worth a whole lot I know.
Good luck.  Either way, you will have a kick ass bike

I have personally put several thousand miles on an f4, r6, and an f4i.  All are outstanding as far as performance although I would give the edge to the r6 and f4i.  My biggest problem with the r6 with me being 6'2" tall is that I feel like im riding one of those big wheels we all owned as kids.  If you were deprived as a child (jj) and don't know what im refering to, its as if your knees feel like they might hit your chest on a large bump.  If height isnt a consideration then I would consider seat comfort for the long hauls.  The seat on the r6 seems narrow up from and wide in the rear, so you can find a comfortable portion to rest your bum.  The seat on the f4 is mostly narrow and plush and you feel plastic pretty quick.  The f4i is middle of the road as far as seating goes.  Past that aftermarket parts are what matters.  The r6 has a lot out there, but parts for the f4i are starting to show up as well.  Best thing I can tell you to do is try to find people that might let you ride theirs or ive seen a few places that rent sportbikes.  Hope that helped.

Get the CBR. You can't touch Honda quality no matter what you do. I've worked in a large shop for some time and you just don't see as many Hondas as anything else. Just my 2 cents.

The only bad that people have said is the seat on the honda, so I'm kinda leaning towards the honda because I've owned a civic and a F4, and I was very pleased with both. 01 or 02 F4i?

Well if you have the money and the patience for a proper break in then go new.  At least then it will be under warranty and you will know its been properly serviced.

As much as I would like to go new that extra $1200 would be great for mods. Today I'm going to look at a F4 99 Yellow and black with only 412 miles. I guess the guy got scared when he took it out after riding the first couple of times and now he will not ride the bike anymore. He wants $5900 so I'm going to be nice and offer to take it off of his hands for $5000 (maybe he will go for it).
