Comfort & riding position will be worlds apart, but if you only do short-ish trips it wont be a problem. Sh1t for pillions if you take any.
20 hp more and 20 kilos lighter - performance will be superb in comparison, but at some cost - usually 35mpg instead of 50mpg on the Fazer600. But as long as you like living above 6000rpm it will sail along. Will probably burn through tyres & pads quicker too.
Watch out for 2nd gear issues, although it may just have been the earlier 5EB model that had gearbox problems
Consider investing in a steering damper
Increase your security planning as it may be more tempting for thieves
