Is 600cc Enough?

I've ridden a Yamaha FZ6R for I believe six or seven years now.  It was an upgrade from a Suzuki GS500F.  The FZ6R has the same engine as the R6 but it was retuned so there is more torque at lower RPM so the acceleration is smoother overall.  I've never ridden an R6 or anything bigger but truthfully, I don't know if I want to or need to.  The FZ6R has plenty of power that I'm comfortable with.  I could weave in and out of traffic if I really wanted to and have enough torque for good acceleration.  I can still feel the sudden acceleration as I need to pass a car.  I just enjoy the ride, to be on the road alone all by myself sometimes.

So, is a 600cc engine big enough?  It definitely is for me.  I have no urge to go bigger.
