Hi all, this would be my first post in this forum. I had been lurking around this forum to learn more about the bikes for a few months now. So far I had narrowed down my options to MY13F3 800 and MY13F4R model. I had been to my local dealer but sadly they do no have demo bikes available.
So far I had managed to sit on the F3 and I would say the bike is kind of small for my 1.85m/60kg frame. I also managed to sit on the MY12 F4 and the fit is better for my frame although it's more aggressive.
I will using the bike as an occasional weekend getaway bike and occasional commute to work of around 15-30mins in moderate to congested city condition so the strain on my back will be minimal. I would also like to stretch her legs during quarterly track days. Sadly, my sunny island do not have any canyons to toss her around.
My biggest concern would be the F4 will be too powerful for city commute and the F3 will be too restrictive during track days as my elbows are touching when in full tuck position and the seat is pretty tight leaving little space to move to the back. But both are such beauties :mouthwate
Any advices from season riders here? And nope, my shallow pockets don't allow for both. Haha
