Hey guys,
Has anyone/does anyone own both the FZS600 and the FZS1000, and fancies giving a bit of a comparison between the two? I've just sold my FZS1000, and was considering the 600 as its much cheaper to insure (which for me at 21 is a big deal), the main thing stopping me though is that I'm worried I'll miss the grunt of the 1000?
It's been quite a long time since I had a 600 to be honest, last couple years have been on a 900 ninja and then the 1000, both of which even when loaded up with luggage and a pillion would take off like a scalded cat by twisting the throttle (the FZS at lower revs, the ninja faster up top).
THe only 600 I had before that for a couple years was a hornet 6, which was a proper revvy bugger. Was okay by myself, but with a pillion and luggage I did feel it struggled a bit somewhat?
