From FZS600 to VFR800 instead of FZS1000?

[Faz03]

I know this is not a new topic but have just seen it. I own both 2003 VFR800 Vtec and a 2003 Fazer 600. I have to say that the Fazer is far easier for short trips (hop on hop off) and fun to ride twisty roads but the VFR is way better and more comfortable for longer distance at high speed (I have risers to help the wrist problem at low speeds). The VFR just eats up the miles and works well on the back roads but is somehow a mission to take to the local shops so just hop on the Fazer.

Hi,

FZS1000 looses out on the nimbleness of FZS600 so how about a VFR800 (pre vetec) as a more logical step up from the trusty 600? Even though I like the 600 it can feel too light weight for example in blustery weather on faster roads.

Opinions from people who've owned all three bikes would be welcome?

Thanks in advance. 

Sorry no constructive opinion to offer just wanted to say
 
Blustery weather on the 600 can be fun
