Remember the 2002/03 Foxeye model has a slightly bigger tank (2 litres more?), so it can probably hit 250 miles before running out.
You can also enlarge the tank's vacuum hole just under the petrol cap to allow more fuel in (details lurking somewhere on the old website), although if you can already do 200+ miles to a tank your a*se will be the limiting factor between stops, not fuel range.
Since switching to the 1000, I find it does about 10mpg less than the 600. Don't think any middleweight bike is as economical as the FZS600, although 500 twins or early Diversions (bleurgh) might just edge it
