yer ive got a 2010 fz1 which i love but since ive had a go of a fzs i to think there a better alrounder and alot better for long distance ridding so i'll be putting my fz1 in my local yam dealer this winter to see if it sells.and getting myself a gen1.
OMG! Seriously? Care to enlighten me as to why you think the fzs is a better allrounder than the fz1 & why you believe it'd be better at long distance riding. As allrounders, and I hate the phrase as in my eyes it suggests mediocrity, there's little to choose between them. Oh yeah, before you start. I've owned both the fzs & fz1. I've done 3k+ European tours on each on many occasions & neither is superior to the other until the fun starts, think twisties & especially the mountains. It's then gen2 all the way. Ah, you must mean the seat comfort. Well the gen1 was uncomfortable on long hauls & so was the gen2. Easily remedied with a seat remodelling so what exactly makes it a better alrounder. Answers on a postcard please to "someone after 8 years of reading this crap is glad to be away"

No Gen 2s came past me on the Bala/Corwen road on Sunday last :lol
On the other hand, I couldn't get past Fizzy's 600 either :o
It ain't to do with the bike in the real world, it's about the rider, and how he gets on with the bike. Personally, I envy Luke, cos he's got both (greedy bugger).
Some people are just so touchy :rolleyes
