As the owner of an 2003 FZS600 foxeye and a 2006 FZS1000 Gen1 and ridden all the variations, my preference used to be always the foxeye. However once the FZS1000 has its suspension sorted it is extremely difficult to say which is best. I have toured two up on both andhad hi speed runs on both and if asked to sell one in the morning I could never decide which.I had an FZS600 boxeye and the lights and charging system were not great and not easily or cheaply sorted the Fox eye was a gret improvement
I would have to say the are equal at the end.
I have ridden the FZ6 and FZ6 S2 the S2 being a far suoerior bike to the FZ6 and the FZ1 does not cut it in my book. The first 06,07 FZ1 was a terrible machine with serious problems Charging system and frames and the later one was a huge improvement but still with charging issue up to 2014 ( I think) however they were not as comfortable or fuel efficient as the earlier models. FZ8 was similiar to FZ1 but lacked power. Again took a while to set them up and they do handle well when sorted but the throttle was to snatchy compared to a CV carb bike.
My vote would be
FZS600 foxeye = FZS1000
FZ6 S2
FZS600 Boxeye
FZ1FZ8
FZ6
This will probably upset many but it is just my opinion
