The better question is how much self control do you have. I actually traded out of a GSXR1000 for a GSXR 600 and they were both very fast and very engaging bikes to ride. If you thought you wanted to do some wheelies etc.... I'd say get the 1000, otherwise the 600 is nearly as fast and a slightly lighter and more nimble package. You can't go wrong but my recommendation would be the 600, it will be plenty fast, a lot cheaper to acquire and easier to insure and you'll have just as much fun.

If thats how you feel get the 1000. Like I said, you can't go wrong and if you think you'll want full afterburner, the 1000 is the way to go. The 600 is marginally easier to ride but we're splitting hairs. I went down to the 600 specifically to use it on the track where it was a better fit than a 1000. If you are not gonna go out and wear holes in your knees on your favorite set of twisties the 1000 will handle extremely well and have enough power to beat a 737 down the runway. Honestly if you have the woulda coulda's get the 1K.
