Well just got back from my trip to Cologne/Bonn on my 08 FZ1 and it didn't disappoint! Was great fun on the autobahn and the great country roads.
The seat mod I had done wasn't bad but was still uncomfy after around 350 miles on the bike so went to Louis in Cologne (Brilliant shop!) and bought a gel seat pad for €49 which is fantastic! Did nearly 600 miles on way back in 1 go and barely got a numb bum towards the end on the m4 and I think that was probably left over from trip over lol
The bike performed flawlessly, great power - good luggage accommodation and great handling.
Downsides - seat and TANK RANGE! I got sick of filling the bloody thing up! ESP as had a tank bag... When on autobahns used up entire tank in around 110 miles :/
Bike all clean now as was filthy when got back - will def do it again, just wish was a way to get a bigger tank
