not by any means, handling of the r6 is unbeaten, i mean that, i have the 05, just rode with an f4i, in a wind storm i fly!!! he shakes anĀ“ dances, top speed, nothing keeps up, wind her up and hang on buddy, watch your shifting in high revvs cause she does like to kick back and lift up the fron tire.. even down shifting into fourth !!! FAST!!! f4i is very much user friendlier, no wheelies!! if you can handle it, go for the yammi!! even better street bike than the new one in my opinion,
