I've had both now loved both for different reasons.
Gen1- loved the comfy cruising capabities and big tank range didn't like the weight and the bike was a bit to tall for me. (I'm only 5ft 8) did mods to improve power the Ivan's fully Monty and the r6 helped the sometimes bouncy ride.slightly dated looks now but fantastic at holding it's money
Gen2- love the amount of power the bike has (been modded A lot) like that the bike is smaller and more manageable for me. It really corners well and is totally differnt bike (shouldn't have been called a fazer) don't like crappy tank range really isn't built for cuising as I'm sore after 150mile the gen 1 I could do 300+. They don't hold there value well (mine was £2900 06 and modded to death)
