Eventually I will, the more I ride the 6 though the more I love it, which I'm sure will be the same on a 1, but knowing me It will probably be a spur of the moment thing and also probably be a off season thing as well
I was once in love with my FZ6... well both of them! a 2005 (Now Pondrat's) and the 2008 which was with Dennis_in_NH but is now in someone else's hands. I really did like the 6 but after taking it to the limits on the Dragon, I came back and traded it the very next week for the FZ1. Never looked back, never sobbed, cried, wished, dreamed or even batted an eye on the FZ6. She was forgotten the moment I twisted the throttle on the FZ1 for the first time. For me, that is the difference... the FZ1 is everything the FZ6 was but does every bit of it better and faster. So much more to work with... adjustable suspension, torque, HP, charging system (runs a TON of stuff without running out the battery!), EASY to lower, aftermarket exhaust is cheaper (one can, not TWO).... The only gripe I have is the MPG and smaller tank. 110 - 120 FUN miles and I'm sweating for a fuel pump... 135 - 145 if I'm in touring mode....
You haven't shopped yet? Go, man, GO!!!!!
