The R4000 has more miles on it, but has the D/A components; the R900si is almost brand new with less than 50 miles on it. I'm not a racer, just a serious recreational rider who does about 6-7000 miles a year. I'm sure either bike would be just fine, but I have to picke one of them. Any suggestions would be welcome.
The R4000 without a doubt. Absolutely no question. You won't regret it.
