I love it, and if your still riding like a sports biker, then the gen II is for you for power and handling. It's comfy enough, and 130-140 ish tank range isn't that bad.Agreed on most counts, but I generally hit reserve after about 110, so I've never tried pushing the tank range anywhere near 130-140 ... as I don't like pushing! :eek
The gen I handling might disappoint you after a gixer, and you'll be wanting uprated suspension immediately.
Both brilliant bikes, just in their own way.

Mine's an FZ1-NA (naked gen II with ABS).

Our local dealer has a brand new unregistered FZ1 for £7130 OTR. I think it's a couple of years old in terms of build date, but it's a hell of a bargain. My other half was tempted, but likes his Speed Trip too much.
If anyone is interested, the dealer is Fowlers of Bristol.

Yep, mine hits reserve at about 110, but you can easily go to 130 - 140, the reserve is about 4 litres! And when I fuel up I rarely put over 14 litres in. (18 litre tank?) Have a look at my fuelly figures and you'll see.

Call me a wimp but, like I said, I really don't like pushing! I'm particularly nervous when I'm in an area I don't know well, as it can be surprisingly difficult to track down a filling station when you need one these days. Your fuel consumption figures look similar to mine, though I've not kept such a detailed record. On most previous 1000 cc bikes I've owned I've managed about 10 miles to the litre (~45 mpg). This one always falls a bit short of that ... but I can forgive it because it's such a great bike.
