Well i'm with the group who love their Gen 1's and can't see a bike on the market that I would want to replace it with as it suits my needs perfectly and has as much performance as anyone could realistically need on the road (and then some). I also personally think they are a beautiful machine especially with a few subtle tweeks here and there. However, if money ever permitted, I would seriously consider a Gen 2 'aswell' as the Gen 1 rather than 'instead' of the Gen 1. I would certainly consider the Gen 2 over the MT09 mainly due to the tank range issue and the fact I prefer the look of the Gen 2. I think Yamaha have made a serious faux pas with the tank range. It might well be a short blast hooligan tool but seriously. Come on Yamaha :\
Yamaha Fazer 'the only bike you'll ever need' maybe ???
