Yes. That flexing is a very important part of the Fazer experience I think, and between the power delivery and the talkative handling we've got essence of it's character.
The steel frame and long travel suspension gives lots of feedback and although I've never driven one, I would imagine it's like the steering on a Porsche 911. Every report I've read seems to say that it's very talkative and they're bemoaning the lack of it in the latest version with electric steering. Similarly, the stiffer frame of the more recent FZ1 Fazer does seem to have taken something away
And I'm with you on the looks. Plenty of people in the press seem to think it looks dull, but I've always thought it's a great looking bike.
