I know of at least 3 people who got rid of litre bikes for 600's as the 1000's they had although amazing were for them relatively unusable on the road, and i have heard a few people saying it.

Personally I found the step from an SV650S to an SS600 was the most massive by a long way!
However there wasn't really any gap from an SS600 to a 1000. I learned a lot going to the SS600 but very little moving from that to the 1000.
The reason being that the 600 is more than capable of looping itself so you have to learn to control the throttle properly. The 1000 is exactly the same as the 600 but it can do the bad stuff at higher speeds and lower revs. If you can handle the 600 then the 1000 just uses the same skills albeit you have to use those skills at 120mph as opposed to 70mph.
I don't know where the 750 fits in but again I'd imagine it was the same deal.
