Don't be seduced by cc's make sure it's what you want to move to and not because 'everyone else has one'
Test ride what you think you want and what you think you may dismiss, you may be surprised.
BTW you can has much fun if not more on less cc's - unless you plan on dragging up and down motorways of course, but that isn't what biking is all about.
The other point of view. I love 1000 :-) It is enough punchy and nimble on corners, not quite 600, but I can have a lot of fun on it. But in the terms of a comfort ride I'd say 1000 is better. Much more torque make me lazy :-) Can use 6th gear from 30mph onwards. had 750 before (and many, many more, but lets stick to recent one) with very similar power 750=126bhp vs 1000=145bhp so not big difference, but I don't have to keep high revs on my 1000, and don't have to switch gears so often.
But everyone is different, so test it before buy.
