The bike is fast, but not THAT fast. Do the 1000, I have it and love it. What a change from my '99 900SS. For these reasons it is a better ride.<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>

It also has a dry clutch where the 800 has the wet clutch. The 800 comes with standard 3 spoke Brembo wheels, where the 1000 comes with lighter 5 spoke Marchesini wheels. Both excellent bikes, just different price points.</TD></TR></TABLE>
The 1000SS was a more solid ride than my 900 and I loved it. Do the 1000
