Owen it was a big learning curve for me jumping from the 600 to the 1000. Different lines from the 600 to the 1000. That being said, I have a lot of comments from other riders saying I ride the 1000 like a 600. Exit drive on the 1000 is still something I'm really trying to work on as its my weakest point riding the 1000.

I jumped on the Honda 600 (Kelly's not set up to my way of riding) and I had the best fun ever. It's a bit down on HP compared to the R6 (she is only putting out 102) and still laid down 44s in 65 degree track temp. As much as the 1000 is good on power, it's harder to ride that quick compared to the 600. It's definitely harder to throw around, got to be more careful on exit (even with electronics) longer braking distances due to the extra speed and weight.

When you want to jump in just do it. You can always go back to the 600
