Who knows Hondas?

[Sliver]

Hi all,

Im Looking at buying a Honda CBR600, i have seen two i like and im wondering if anyone knows the differences

The First bike is

1999 CBR600

And the second is a

1999 Honda CBR F4 Ultima lite

Now i know the F4i is the injected model but im wondering what the differences btween the two above bikes are, as i cant find any other information conpairing the two, is the Honda CBR F4 Ultima lite a newer model? or just minor changes like the old RRs, Also which would be the better bike to buy (km and condition the same)

Thanks for reading

I know a little about the F2/F3's, and the F4 was just a few minor changes on them... Okay, some major, but essentially the same design philosophy.
I think the only real difference between the two bikes you mention is a fuel injection system, and a bit of weight lost from various areas....

If it were me, I would actually go for the carburated model.
As the first model with any major advancement (Like Fuel injection) can be a bit of a dog. This is a general rule, and may not apply in this case, but I would err on the side of caution.
I like Carbs. and have had one or two F2's in my shed over the past little while.... So that may be where my biased is

All in all, you could do a lot worst than a CBR600.

Thought you had a fzr 250, not 600..

The first lot of injected cbr 600's were a bit of a pig if I remember right,
mate of mine had the older cbr600's an 89 if I remember right, it was invincible, I believe his fairings started falling off on a trip to blenheim while travelling a bit more than the sign posted speed.. so if thats anything to go by, the later model ones cant be to much worse haha

lol get with the times DM,

The first F4I were injected the normal F4 Werent,
From what i can see the main differences was the frame was changed to alloy, can anyone confirm this?

Nah, 600 is my mates bike, after i sold my 250 i had nothing to ride so ive been using his spear bike =D lol, and i had to put in something...so i used his

either bike is decent, but it would be more helpfull if you could link us to the ones in question. Ive had CBRs, my mates have had them, and theyve been fairly bullet proof bikes that took daily abuse and never bat an eyelid.

but I dont really know what youre asking here by which is 'best', in what sense? so Ill list my assumptions as to our underlying questions with some answers
which is fastest - depends who's riding it
which is coolest - depends what kind of guy you are into
which has more power - get a thou
which is more reliable - depends on service history more than anything else at this age
which is right for me - only you will know after riding them both back to back which you preferred
which will be the most fun - depends what you're into
which one will make me rossi - given your limited foray into biking, neither of them. try to use some restraint and common sense and dont become an ACC statistic or a cop magnet, I can bring more than enough attention to bikers in Otago with my own antics thank you very much.

The 1999 CBR600F4 had what Honda called a Pro Frame frame which basically consisted of an aluminum twin-spar frame and extruded aluminum swingarm, with a combined swingarm pivot incorporating both engine crankcase and frame-mounted pivot points.

Don't know what the ultima lite is and as far as I know the first fuel injected CBR600 F4i weren't available until 2001
