Its physically heavier than the 650 and an altogether different bike. One of my team bought a 1200 Bandit straight after passing his test, just to Top Trump everyone else in the 'I've got more CC's than you'. But he wants to move to a smaller bike as the Blandit can only do one thing really. The SV1000 is much better than the Blandit, but serve you biking apprenticeship on a smaller bike before moving up to the bigger bike You'll have more fun on the 650
