Have you ever ridden a gen II Boxer? Its more like a comfy R1 than a mini FJ like the gen I (as I've recently heard it brilliantly described).
The tank range on the gen II is about the same as the R1, whereas the gen I is quite a bit better. Same as the seat range, gen II is better, but that doesn't mean the gen II is bad. :o
You'll find yourself thrashing the gen II a lot more, as that's what the beast makes you do >
(honestly officer, the bike made me do it)
They're a Damn good machine, more for fast road scratching than touring, but perfectly capable at both if that makes any sense. You'll enjoy the twisties more on a standard gen II than a standard gen I though.
