As all said before-the Gen 2 is a DIFFERENT (not better nor worse) motorcycle than the Gen 1.
At the end of the day its best to be very sure exactly what feels right for the type of rider you(should say your Mrs) are and what your expectations of the machine are. You cant really make comparisons between comfy tourers like the FJR (or even the FZS1000) and the FZ1. Before parting with your money its a good idea to get some decent mileage under your belt. In short: Is she a "sporty" type or a "sit up & beg comfort seeker"? There is no "Universal" motorcycle-try as many as you can. :lol
