Kyle man, you are SOOO asking for it with that one. I mean, how often are you grabbing...oh well. I'll let Pete do the dirty work. As to the topic of this forum:
I have ridden 600's ever since I started riding legally and even a little before. Only recently did I have the chance to get on a 929. I loved it. The power is so much smoother, and of course there are gobs of it. It is a wheelie monster. I think it wheelies as easily as the R1, but it is lighter feeling, much more comfortable, and Kyle is right, there is more to it. You feel a little more "planted" I guess. Depending on how you ride, you will appreciate the wider gas tank. I ride with my legs around the gas tank the whole time. I don't usually reach my knees down unless I'm really leaning. That's why I love the bigger tank, although the F4's gas tank is bigger compared to the F3's and isn't far off from the 929's.
I just bought a CBR 600F4 this April and I recently installed a Factory® jet kit. My bike will just about keep up with the 900's now. Especially close in the top end (above 7,000). The 929's will of course easily pull away, but the 600 does have enough power for me. The jet kit made such a huge difference that it will probably be the difference between getting a new bike in 2 yrs, as opposed to getting a new bike in 4 or 5. I still have yet to change gearing, headers, heads, and some other things that would further support that feeling.
Good luck with whatever you choose. Keep us posted!
