The FZ1 is great and those that say otherwise have either never ridden one or when they did, they didn't actually 'RIDE' it.
I've never had an FZS, so I can't compare, but everything I read says they are for a more relaxed (for me this should read boring) ride. Fair enough if that's your bag, but I don't think I'll ever part with my FZ1(S).
I've had sports bikes and more sedate stuff like Bandits. Get the seat upgraded and an FZ1 is the perfect compromise. Go fast and stay with the litre sports bikes when you want, or pootle around looking at scenery. I bloody love it!
