I dunno about these days but K5 era, the thous were as light or lighter than the 750s. I think they bloated a bit with the cats and twin exhausts of K7 on. For my money, there's no perceptible difference in weight between 600/1000s really. I'd always get the thousand as they're so much more versatile.
Not that I'm a thou evangelist, they're just more practical than the other 4 cylinder sportsbike categories.
Reckon my next sportsbike might be either a Daytona 675R or even one of the new Aprilia twins (whenever they come out.....)
I looooove these Reggiani rep colours. Probably means I'm old and have questionable taste but....

My s1000r is 12kg (wet) heavier than my CBR600 but double peak torque and apparently 75% of it is available at 3000rpm, which explains all those lovely lazy overtakes I’ve been able to do. No screaming along behind someone waiting for the perfect moment, just twist and go!

That is a very good point. I flit between thinking a S1000RR would be nice but also thinking I'd miss the character and low down grunt of a twin.

Preorders open in October for the RS660 apparently, on Aprilia's Instagram.

Yep heard this a few times too. Always fancied a GSXR 750, but do you think the weight difference these days has decreased enough to make the 1000 a better choice?
