Great choice...i have an 09...best bike ive owned...good luck there out there at pretty reasonable prices...
 
Yeah I have seen some killer deals on them lately and that’s what makes me want to get back into one.

I converted my last one to the euro naked.

Nice. The naked and the FZ were what made me recently pick up a left over GSX-S1000. Loved my old FZ, love this one more.
 
I've got an 06 I'm not overly attached to.

JMZ- My online experience has been that 1st gen owners are quite proud of their bikes and insist that the 2nd gen was an unnecessary change on a perfect original design. But I like mine. It's way nicer than my ninja 300 but I miss my SV1000S more.
 
How do the first and second gen fz1's compare
Sorry for the late reply.

We had both at the same time for a while.

To me they were completely different bikes. Both had ample power and were reasonably comfortable. With out getting the OP's thread way off track discussing the differences between them I will just generalize and say I found the GenI to be more comfortable for long rides and the GenII to have a slight edge performance wise being a sportier ride. Since then the GenII has moved on to a new owner and no more than my wife is riding now the GenI may end up leaving to.:argh:
 
First gen was best, because of the Bee.
