But for the above reason i also cant sign ip to more finance & id rather have the money than a trade in.

Now your recent posts begin to make sense!
Just a few thoughts.......
If you decide to sell FZ1 why spend any more money on "sorting" rear suspension?
Sell privately if possible.
Before buying another bike get an extended test ride.
Why the MT07?.........74bhp....your noggyfighter is 95!
If your in the market for this style of bike-think about the MT09.....more power than an FZS 600/FZ6 but light and nimble...theyre will be a few ex-demonstator/low mileage one owner 2nd hand ones around in a year or so @ reasonable prices.
PCP is not as good for the customer as many people think!
Dont feel bad that you & the FZ1 didnt gel-at least you gave it a try.
Theres so much choice of bikes....sizes,geometry,power development and its "horses for courses".
Whatever you decide-good luck!

My kids are all grown up( sons 36, daughters 25) and the one thing for certain in all this debate is this..if you lose your bikes now once the nipper is here it will be approx ten years before you get another. There will always be something to take priority once you've got a littlun. If you actually worked out how much it realistically costs to bring up a kid it would astound you. Once you've got the baby, unless your wealthy which none of us are, you won't be getting a bike again for a lonnnnnnnnng time...Trust me on this..but, if you already have a bike, whether it's your 3 grand fz1 or a ratty old five hundred quid 600, you've got it, you can keep it, no matter how many arrive over the years from "noggys rod of plenty". ( once wimmin start having em they tend to want more...)
Keep the faith my friend...
