I have an 06 1kRR and have riding the 04 600 RR many times. The 04 600 is a great bike for turns and hiding hard and fast. My 1kRR takes alot more to handle when I try to ride it that hard. As for wheelies...... The 6 isn't smooth to bring up unless you get it geared!! The 1kRR is smooth in ever gear to bring up 1 - 3 and shifts smoother while on one wheel. But you really need to know how to ride your bike
I havent ridin the 06-07 600RR yet so I dont know anything about em!
600 = Easy 2 Throw Around (If "geared" Very Fun to Wheelie)
1000 = Bigger (More Comfort) Faster (More Power) Smoother Wheelies (No Need to Gear it) LOOKS BETTER (I think!)

And I thought that I was the only one who did this!! I will agree though, I won't give up my 1k but my buddey is in Iraq and left his 600 with me to "take care of" Every time I ride it I'm amazed at how easy it is to throw around and dissapointed at it's power.... maby If I got some magniesum rims......hmmmmm

Yep, after moving from an 06 F4i up to the 1000RR, it's tough to get used to. It's definately harder to corner with. I'm not trying to be a super track star by any means, but I feel like I'm fighting it whereas the 600 seemed to turn in effortlessly.
I'd like to add a 600 to go with the 1000RR, man, that'd be sweeeeet! My wallet doesn't think so though.

With enough money you can get a 600 to smoke a 1000 on the straights and in corners, but you will be right back to losing corner ability. Because of the power you will have. It will become hard to gas it right so the damn thing will lay down and turn!

Disagree all you want. I prefer my cbr1000rr over my r6. Yes the 600 is lighter and perhaps more flickable or easier to toss around but my cbr1000 is just as good in corners. Yes its a little heavier but you just have to know how to ride it, like you said. Have you seen the video of the guys on a goldwing tearing up the track?
The liter bikes are more comfy especially if you are over 5'8. The liter bikes are easier to ride in traffic. Less gear shifting, smoother gear shifting. Maybe its the difference between a honda and yamaha but most people who move up to the liter bikes and know how to ride, usually never look back to a 600.
If money is a concern then yeah go with a 600. If you go to the track and like to drag your knees, go with a 600. Traffic, city riding and occasional track I would go with a liter bike. If you get a 600 then spend money to mod it to be able to keep up with a 1000, then you might as well just get a liter bike.

i dunno why i feel different, but my first bike was a 2004 f4i and after 10 months or so and doing a -1+2 gearing change i just got bored with the f4i. the next month i traded it in on a 06 1000rr and to me it fel like it was easier to handle and weight didnt seem all to different. loved the power and wheelies made it feel like i was on my geared f4i so needless to say if you can get a good deal on a 06 1krr then get it, if you dont then i believe you will regret it

the F4i is not a 600RR it is considered a sport tour not a race bike!

For me the 1000RR takes the cake. I rode the 06 1000RR then the 06 600RR back to back. Then I got to ride the 1000RR again I did not want to get off of the 1000  Im telling you for me the difference was totaly different bikes, not even remotely close.
First ride first impression. The 06 1000RR, feels good, the size is nice not to small, ballance is nice. Alright here we go, responds well to the R-wrist front will come up on demand if I want it to. Swerves to the L & R nice. Could I flick it like a buger? I beleive I could. Corners like I want it to. It feels solid even at moderate speeds with less than warm tires. Very streetable. Very fun. I felt like the bike was one with me. Very predictable.
Second ride first impression. The 06 600RR, smaller but not to small. I a bit big for it though. Lets go for a ride and see. Well its got a long way to climb in the RPM's before the power is their and I notice the torqe is not the same. Swerve L & R, ok smooth too smooth. I cant realy cant feel the tire contact to the road. Not as tight as the 1000RR felt and definitly not as torqy. Im not impressed with it for a street bike. Maybe its better on a track? Although I would already feel more in control with the 1000RR. I cant weight to get back maybe I can ride the 1000RR again.
Well I get back and get to ride the 1000RR again. YES this is the bike I want, and I can tell it wants me too. Sappy soap apra music,...... Cut off cold by AC/DC Hells Bells. Now the feeling comes over me like God gave me this power for a reason, and that reason was not to give it up.
