There is a few people on here, myself included that have had both the 600 and the 1000. I found the 600 a capable bike but found it just didn't have enough oomph for me so sold it and bought the mighty thou......remember the 1000 is faster, heavier, not so fuel efficient and the insurance will be more.  You don't have to ride flat out at the start and that way until you get used to it.......buy the 600 and you'll be wishing for that extra gear and wishing you bought the 1000.....also depends on your size and riding style too.

Pretty much sums me up too. I bought the 600 due to people telling me the thou was too much, but the 600 does not have that much oomph if your a fat foccer like myself and I always wanted more torque, so the 600 went and the 1000 was bought. Better in every area that I care about (except arguably handling as standard).

Both bikes are cracking buys though, you won't be disappointed in either.

Just to be clear here. When the guys say 600 does not have enough oomph (torque), they actually mean 600 compared to 1000 have less torque.

Which for road ride is still plenty if you put some revs and use gears. In fact I am pretty sure nobody uses all the 600 available oomph on the road.

1000 is just easier to use without changing gear and keeping revs down. But is more heavier and not so agile.

All depends on what you like. If you like to stay in power band on higher revs and the associated howling sound one may say 600 is better  :lol

About Harley performance as a bike I will say nothing, one picture worths thousand words  :rollin
