In response to Tonys jibe about forum experts...sorry you dont know any of us or the history of the whole gen1 vs gen2 debate which has been ongoing since 2006. I personally have owned two gen1s for 9 yrs with a combined mileage on road track and tours of over 70k miles, and owned a 06 gen2 for 9k miles of road and track use before I sold it ( as I could not get on with it).I also have ridden later gen2s as loan bikes, and the FZ-8. So I do in this instance know what I am talking about ,and my opinion is based on actual experience.
Tastes differ , but at least my experiences give new folk some indication of what said bikes are like to ride and own.
