The 1000 is certainly superior for distance rides. For city driving I don't think either one is necessarily better. If the costs of the bikes, insurance, and gas isn't really an issue then go down to the dealer and sit on both bikes, which feels better? Personally, the 1000 fits me better than the 650.

The 1000 is faster, a 600 is lighter. In a straight line in the hands of a pro the 1000 will win, in twisties the 600 will win. But for n00bs like us it makes no difference. We can never hope to dream to ride these bikes to their limits though

Supersports are for n00bs
