Default PLEASE Kawasaki 650R?????

Can someone please explain this to me, I have a been riding motorcycles for about 5 years now and while doing a search came across a trend talking about kawasakis new 650R, I understand motorcycle basics like a 500cc,600cc and 1000cc but how can Kawasaki make a bike that is a 650R and say its a great bike for beginners(novice)? Alright here is where I am having trouble my bike is a 600cc Gixxer the Kawasaki has 49cc more but its perfect for a beginner? Can someone please explain to me the differences because this is something that I have been trying to make sense out of ever since I heard of the SV650 being slower than the GIxxer 600 but the SV has 50 more cc's erghhhhhhhhh my brain cant take it HELP PLEASE.
