main diff's FZS / FZ1

[nick crisp]

Much as I love gen 1s Lew, is weight going to be an issue? As Joe says, the gen 1 is definitely the better touring bike, but is fairly heavy in it's own right, before you go loading it up with gear. Although having said that, I have a dodgy shoulder and arm and manage ok. Gen 2 for a lighter, easier to handle bike I would say. You can put hard luggage on the 2 I believe, but the seat won't be as comfortable as the 1 either. Usual thing, find one of each that you can test ride.
