The looks are subjective anyway but the new 1050 looks better than the outgoing 1000, however those wire wheels for me a massive turn off. Things being the way they are at the moment - I want your 1050 with the cast wheels off the poverty model for the same money, call me back when you’re ready. It’s definitely a buyers market.
On the other hand that price for the 1000 is cracking, if you really wanted to you could add electronic cruise control for about £900 (look up Lamb Chop rides on YT he added it to his Gixxer), and that cruise control system works on lower gears not just 4th and above (better for 30 zones).
You can then add one of those LED light units from Full Blast in Denmark for just over £300, upgrade the engine management, replace the screen with an airflow (which is adjustable up and down and backwards and forwards on the move), can’t do that on the new 1050, upgrade the rubber because the standard stuff sucks, maybe a Sargent seat or similar.
You could do all that and more, and you’d have a much better bike to ride than a stock 1050 - they’re only the options I would choose you might want to do other mods.
All new bikes with the exception of some high end premium rides are built down to a price, the engines are usually spot on, but the money men really start piling on the pain when it comes to things like fastenings, forks, rear shocks etc - they’re OK but you could do a lot better for reasonable money.
Just the way I see it, good luck
