My BIL owned an F4i while I had my TLR, and we rode them at the track...that's him in the background while I chased down a duck  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!

 He also had an MV agusta in his diamond plate trailer pulled by a range rover softop african special. That guy was loaded! He dropped the MV in the first turn on the first lap of the first session (CMP is REAL bad for that) and cracked the cover spilling oil everywhere
