Like the others above have said
For hammering around your local roads/town and only rare longer distance tours pick a Gen2
For riding 1000's of miles off into the distance pick a Gen 1
Also
a gen1 would suit taller people better
and Gen2 would suit shorter people better
Am 5ft 8" and I found my Gen1 seat was a little to high and my gen2 seat was the perfect height..
(think this is due to the width of the seat/fuel tank being more narrow on a gen2)
