Are the above worth getting over a standard CBR F series bike?
I am possibly faced with the choice of a 2002 sport or a newer 2003 standard CBR for roughly the same money.

depends what you want it for really?
Commute, scratch, tour......they both do it, just down to personal taste in truth.

What puddeers said.
I know people that have had both, and to be honest, doubt unless you rode one straight after the other, you would notice any differerence. Go for the lowest milaegae / best condition one you can get, dont worry about S of FS...........
IMHO Sport looks better, but thats a personal thing.... especially in the blue / white paint !!

The FS is setup better than the F (suspension/geometery wise)... The 600F is barely just a supersport bike, the FS makes it a proper contender with the GSXR, R6 and ZXR of the same age.. The FS has become the RR now though..
I was going to get a 2002 FS but I got a 2001 R6 instead.. Its a bit more lairy than the CBR and not quite as comfortable.

The newer bikes have lower mileage than the older sport which i think will swing it for me. I agree sports look better but at the end of the day a new bike for the same money might be the best option.
Thanks for your views.

i'll bet a rich tea biscuit the F is the better all round "real road" bike, less track orientated and generaly easier to live with, will hold good money.
but the sport does look better no denying.

Definitely its a better road bike, i.e. its soft and squishy.. but who really wants that? :D
