The FZ1 is a good choice 
I had an FZ6s last year but that seemed too buzzy and sewing machine like for me and annoying having to dance on the gearbox all the time. Last year I tried an FZ1 for a month or so last year and loved it. Sold the 6 in April then bought a Sprint 1050 (the wife rides pilly) as it was a great deal all the right bits for touring and it ticked all the boxes. Loved the Sprint but the riding position wasn't for me and the pillion seat was so high I kept expecting to see snow on the wifes crash lid when we stopped.
Last week, I test rode an FZ1, then a Tracer along with a Tiger 1050 Sport and a Kwaki Z1000sx. I put a deposit down yesterday on an FZ1 and get it delivered tomorrow. Can't wait.
I found all the better priced FZ1's around the midlands and oop north. It was only by chance I found my new one fairly local to me.
