If your only riding around the 3-6000 rev range then your not using any of a litre bikes potential regardless of mods.
As you said you were searching for the torque of a twin, maybe look at an MT07? They are very cheap new so I'm sure you could sell a fully modded gen 2 fz1 for a similar price to a the cost of a used standard MT?
Just a thought ?
This is what I've been debating in my head for the last year to be honest, and with the current price of a Tracer 7 I could flog the FZ and buy brand new with pocket money (well maybe not quite).
The problem is I really like the FZ and when fully loaded makes for a nice touring bike. I might take it back to stock anyway as I can get some money back on the PC/autotune etc and enjoy as is a bit longer while I have a thing about where to go next.
Just was interested to hear if anyone else had gone through similar thoughts.
