Silly question but are you finding the stock 600RR brakes are not providing enough braking power, or is this just for looks?

No not at all. the original brakes were fine.my buddy totaled his 1000RR and said i could have them if i wanted, so i figured why not. i didn't do it for looks, actually the originals looked better. Ive put about 200 miles on since the swap and I'm finding that the brakes don't have the initial grablike the original, but they are way more consistent and a lot smoother.I haven't been to the track with them yet to see for sure. there's a few things that I'mconcerned about.
1- the rotors stick out a little bit past the edge of the tire, unlike the stock

2-the 1000RR offset on the rotors is about10mm more than stock, so the inner 2 pistons are out that much more than the outer pistons.

I think its pretty cool that they bolted on. It's always good to know what your options are. Thanks for sharing the info!
