While there's a lot of truth in that - I think the 600 does make it easy for the rider. It's a very forgiving bike, and gives a good amount of feedback (with the right tyres) - it flatters a decent rider, and makes them look another stage better.
Much as the Thou boys blag about their machines, in anything but a straight line, they will lose to a similarly skilled rider on a 6. The 6s handle better, turn faster, and are more responsive on the twisties. The Thous have power and 20mph more. And that's it, really.

I'm assuming you mean both Fazers Christo?
In general it does depend on the road/track type - riding a 1000 is a completely different experience, it's about slamming up to the corner as fast as possible, braking as hard as possible, slamming it through the corner whilst minimising the time you're spending leant over and then getting it upright ASAP so you can open the throttle hard and use the engines power.
600s you can usually have a higher entry speed and you can stay leant over for longer, as you'll be able to get the throttle pretty much to the stop whilst leant over without an incoming highside!
