Tempted to get an FZS1000 for motorway/commuting duties, but have questions.

[helloindustries]

Current plan:

1. Get the nose fairing etc back on the bike with a low screen so it hits my chest and avoids my head (still looking for that stuff... some places want over £300... not a chance)
   
2. Get a better helmet (HJC RPHA Max evo reviewed VERY well for noise reduction, and is in my price range)
   

I already have earplugs, and some new ones just arrived today which are a bit better.

Once i've settled into the new job, i can start saving for a better bike. FZS1000 is winning currently. But with more savings i can buy maybe a better bike. The rebuild of the front should sort me out for the foreseeable future.
