I'm not against you getting a 600, personally it makes no difference to me... but just to nitpick a bit... 1000 miles in a year on a 500 is nothing, especially if it was just commuting around... i.e. traffic and mostly straight lines and low-speed turns.

Commuting helps your situational awareness and traffic sense but doesn't do much to improve your riding skills. You would gain more skill from a weekend in a parking lot working on your MSF techniques than 1000 miles of putt-putt.

There is nothing worse than a sophmoric attitude when it comes to riding. The pavement bites hard. Good luck with your choice and ride safe
