I have to say I don't think you would get any benefit from a gen II, you already have a well sorted bike which is about as good as it is going to get in that class. If you really just want a newer version of the same, then I would look at the the z1000sx as the closest on the market to a gen1. It is not perfect and would need a few mods to bring it up to scratch, just as your existing bike needed them, but it is a decade younger and has some cool new toys to play with as well.
I wouldn't worry about the buzz through the bars that someone mentioned, as it is a quacker feature and not a problem. A buzz through the bars as you pass through a ton (just under 7k in top) is to remind you that you have passsed through a ton. What you do about it is up to you, but it does help avoid those "How the foc did I end up doing 120mph and not notice" moments that are so common on the Fazer.
