Slaninar: Two posts above your original, in relation to fuel consumption, I stated:
Regarding tyres, I'd say the difference in wear is not that significant: I've managed to get 6k out of a rear BT023 on the 1000 and am not sure if I'll get much more with the same tyre type fitted to my current 600. Perhaps its riding style (mild fear & subliminal restraint on the 1000 versus feeling confident enough to push the 600 on a bit more) but Joe Rock's post makes me think I'm not alone here.
However, Tommy asked for owners who had experiences of owning both Fazers and not just pub talkers
So for me, I've loved both bikes, but loved the 1000 just a bit more
