The F4i "FELT" 200 pounds lighter than the TLR. Was slimmer and had a MUCH better feel on the track.
On the ROAD the TLR and busa rode better because of their weight, but that 600 was a KNIFE on the track. Even after spending all the money I DID on my TLR, I had to work 3 times as hard to get that TLR around the track at the same pace I could that F4i
And having owned an R1 & GSXR 750 I now realize what a totally different world a TRUE sportbike is.
And like Trip said…..the same surprise overwhelmed me when I rode a TRUE supermoto bike!
OH...BTW...GREAT buy man! |
Didn't Tracy used to have that Duc 748 he rebuilt too though? That may have given him a somewhat similar experience to a 600.
