I always forget I did actually own an FZS 600 for a while :lol
To be honest as others have said, the 600 handles a bit better as stock (the 1000 shock is crap - although less so for me than most as I'm lighter than most and its at least easy to sort). The 1000 obviously packs a fair bigger engine punch.
Personally, I think for every circumstance (bar commuting - and I mean if that was ALL you did on it) I'd take the 1000 - for me at least the extra weight is more than mitigated by the extra power, and I also found it more comfortable (one and two up) than the 600.
The 600 I didn't have for long - whilst a very capable bike having owned larger bikes for a couple of years before I got very bored with the engines performance
