Gen II is basically an R1 with flat bars, or a VERY SPORTY sport tourer.
Gen I is better all rounder, just not quite as nimble in the bends, but that can be remedied quite easily as previously mentioned. It has better bottom end power though.
Tank range on the gen II is normally 110-120 miles to the flashing light, which is about 40-44mpg.
The gen I is quite a bit more. I'm sure gen I owners will tell you exactly.
personally for what you need, I'd have a gen I.
