To be honest mate, I'd say that the 1000 is every bit as practical as the 600, it's basically the same bike just with 20% more of everything!
Including weight and fuel consumption.

There's definitely a difference, but I haven't noticed it that much! Weight wise you get used to it quite quickly going either way, the 600 just feels a tad more flickable - but then the 1000 definitely seems more "planted". Fuel consumption wise I got about 45mpg around town on the 1000 compared to about 52mpg on the 600, about 55mpg on the motorway compared to 60ish. Not really that different to be honest, and luckily enough where I don't do a massive amount of milage petrol consumption (apart from if it drops a bikes tank range to a ridiculous level) isn't remotely an issue!
