There's definitely a difference, but I haven't noticed it that much!
I agree. However, when pushing, or lifting - you can notice it (if you're not very strong).
Fuel consumption wise, for me it would make around 200 euros per season difference - not a fortune, but noticeable (at least compared to a mate with a yellow 1000
).
1000 is a nice bike, great one, for most people probably better choice, but bigger is not always better (or is my girlfriend trying to comfort me that way?
).
