Welcome to foc-u
Without giving away too much personal info, your illness as you describe it, does it affect your mobility ie getting on/off bikes or holding certain types of handlebars etc,does it flare up in the cold conditions etc because if you have any of these issues or you only want to ride on nice hot summer days then that might sway the advice of folks on here as the best bike for you.
The original fazer 600's have the best reputation & the most cult status but this site also hosts the later FZ6 which regardless of the press im sure the owners here will tell you is also a great bike.
The carbed Fzs600 will of course require a bit of fiddling the carbs type treatment at some stage & some folk have hassle with the carbs if left for long periods without a decent ride (although ive experienced none of this after winter lay up).
The FZ6 is of course fuel injected so should fare better with its fuel system.
Members have recently been picking up some half decent FZS600 Box eye's for about 1k. to have more of a guarantee of a good'n expect to pay £1500. & for a real minted fox eye (more modern & popular front fairing with better lights) its not unusual to see them for 2k to £2500.
Id do believe that Bracechenko will also soon be selling his trusty old FZS600, with lots of miles but a traceable history through all his previous posts on here,could be worth looking at even if just to dip your toe in the pond a bit.heres his recent post.
