A very big welcome to you Mungel.
& a very nice looking FZ1 8)
I've had mine a season now & apart from i still need a power commander my bike also has quite a few mods.....for scratching on the weekend i love it & it has an addictive growl.
Always good to hear about other bikes & defectors because at this moment in time the Gen2 thou is suffering a bit of a crisis.....i always heard that the ZX9 was a sportsbike for tall riders & had assumed that it would be comfyso interesting that you prefer the FZ.....the original thou is much more popular as it tours better and i get the feeling that it justisn't fashionable to like the FZ1 right now....so we have had a few defectors in the other direction.
If i had to be critical then the seat on the FZ1 isnt too comfy and my rearsets are a bit cramped for me even though they look the business........& id ideally like a cleaner example for myself as mine has a little wear and tear and 35k miles....& i cant quite get to grips with the flat standard handlebars on mine either.
I see yours also has some aftermarket handlebars and they look good......is there any sign of tight cables from your handlebars with them being more upswept?.
Here's a shameless plug of my bike. 8)

Easiest way to go fast........don't buy a blue bike
