A well set up 1000 is extremely flickable, but it takes more work than the 600 to get it that way. The big advantages of the well set up 600 is its weight (20Kgs lighter than the 1000) and the narrower front tyre, as this makes it quicker turn in, you can brake later into corners and get on the power sooner out of corners which is why it will beat most 1000s on the really twisty bits, but you really need to use the gearbox to the max.
As Richfzs say the 600 can be a very forgiving bike when things go wrong
