I don't think I've every said the gen 01 is better than a gen 2 :pokefun even though they are :lol
my only real comment is the gen 2's are a step away from the gen one and going in a different direction more towards a sports bike
just look at the seats on a gen 2 !
the Gen 1's to me are the right balance of sports to tourer others may argue .
the gen 1 is a big bike not just in CC but the whole bike is big roomy and yet still has the performance and handling of a sports bike
OK it needs a little tinkering , but no where near as much as the gen 2's
at the end of the day you buy a bike that suits you ! and for me its the older gen 1 but others like the gen 2' because its more sports focused smaller tank uncomfortable seat the need for very expensive tinkering and the fact that pillions don't stay long because there knees are so cramped :pokefun other than that its a lovely bike :lol
