Sounds like a classic temptation scenario in which the 'bargain' tempts you into something it may not suit you and/or you might not have even thought about.
IMHO, you don't need anything larger than 600cc or so in places like Kuala Lumpur or most parts of the world for that matter. But then, we bikers don't talk about 'needs' but 'wants'. Then do you want a heavy bike maneuvering in KL streets or the beautiful Malaysia countryside on dirt? It also depends on what you use the bike mostly for, off-road or highway or street. The only plus point for such big bike is the highway speed and stability; otherwise, you would end up having less fun than with your Dommie. I myself have been driving 750cc to 1200cc bikes living in Germany, the home of autobahn. I recently traded my 1200GS that is much lighter than 1100 for a smaller 660cc which does well on highway as well as street and off-road. Nonetheless, as threewheelbonnie says, you have to follow your heart too.
