Default 650s or 1000s?

hi everyone,
i had a r6 last year which i realy enjoyed but i sold it over the winter because i wasnt having another bike this year but after a week of sunshine i have changed my mind.

i dont realy want to spend more than 3k on a bike (buying a house ) so iv decided on a sv650s but after looking at the prices of them and the insurance i could probably afford either.

i just wondered what peoples opinions on both sizes where? i had read that the 1000 isnt as much fun as the 650.

i take a pillion on the back if that makes much difference.
Thanks for any advice.

two up is easy on a 650, but i would go for the 1000 if i had the choice. 650 runs out of guts at 110

Lower fairings are extra, and cost around £400!

Not totally true, the new sports model comes with them on and a seat cowl. thats only if you want a new bike though.
