Well, lessee
The styling is practically identical. They share some parts. Naming motorcycles of different displacements as one family is not uncommon (example gsxr 650,750, 1000). Sounds more like you're worried someone will mistake your 1000 for a 650. Could be a compensation issue......

Never rode a Vee but the 650 hauls my 150 pounds (and gear when it's on there) fast enough. Someone once said you have to shift all the time. Yeah, so? My Sprint had way more balls than either and I don't really miss it. I think the 650 is plenty fast enough, once I get going that is.

Well what can I say but............Weeeeeeeee!
62,000+km, 1 front sprocket, 1 chain, 1 set each of front and rear brake pads. No issues, routine servicing, tyres, assorted farkles. Big trips fully loaded, weekend rides and commuting. More than capable of travelling comfortably well above legal speed limits- even when loaded. Like a sports car......half the fun is changing gears, especially in the twisty stuff. Weeeeee  FWIW, my previous bike was a BMW R1150GS, don't miss it one bit, or the wallet emptying ability it had.
