Agree with Motion.
A very good friend of mine had a Ford Bronco, one of the first series. Idiots on the road ran into him twice. He got pissed off and painted it day-glo green. Three months later a drunk on the highway ran into him.
Funny thing is that the idiot then took him to court trying not to pay for the damage. My friend took a picture to court with him. When the idiot's lawyer said that the vehicle was small and hard to see, my friend held up a photo of the Bronco, glowing day glo green.
Case dismissed, pay the damage!
Ride like you are invisable. Best thing I can think of for safety other than the bright helmet is a headlight modulator to keep it flashing. I sure see it and hope that the other drivers do as well.

PS go with the 1000 model. Torque, especially while "two up" is a good thing and the 600 will not have much.
