Having read threads like noggys recent "War & Peace" & all the Gen 1 v Gen 2 type features got me thinking....what started the obsession for want of a better word?
First saw a Gen 1 thou in a showroom in 2002-everything about it looked right except the price back then.
Guy I worked with passed his test & bought a new 52 plate silver Foxeye-loved the looks,size ,felt right sitting on it and not too expensive.
Ran a couple of H****s til switched allegiance to the triple tuning forks in 2004 -have owned 2004 FZ6(not for long though-didn't gel),2002 FZS 1000 (2 years-loved it!) & 2 FZS 600 Foxeyes. In a nutshell - the present 600 is likely to be the last bike I will buy simply because it does everything I want & makes me feel good! :lol
