The ONLY bike I ve ever felt sorry about selling was my Gen 1 thou. It was an incredibly good machine for all purposes but owing to advancing age & health issues-mainly loss of strength I was fortunate enough to do a straight swap for a beautiful 03 Foxeye-low miles & well looked after. Apart from the difference in power the weight saving has allowed me to keep riding. The thou is a gentle beast when trickling along(get an Ivanised one if poss or get the work done) but takes off like a missile when youre ready for action! The 600 needs a few more revs & use of gearbox but its one helluva good bike. theres never been a better time to buy either as prices continue to tumble. In my opinion don't go for the FZ6(fuel injection 2004 0n & beware 2006 Gen 2 thous(fuelling issues). Give me the carbed bikes anyday! :lol
