side by side the FZ6 and the Fz1 look very similar but its the slight body changes that make the FZ1 in my opinion look rather . . . ugly any one care to agree or disagree?

Well they are 2 different bikes! I like the looks of the FZ6 as well as the FZ1, i dont think they are very similar nor are they very different I have not ridden a FZ1 so cant say much, i've only just sat on it...What i can say is if i ever look to upgrade to a "bigger" bike the FZ1 will have my full attention
The Naked FZ1 is lovely. I go down to the dealership just to swoon at it. There aren't many about so it seems to be depreciating less than the FZ6. I'm not a big fan of the fazer version of either but can appreciate the merits of a bikini fairing.
I've sat on an FZ1 2006. Let's compare it with the FZ6 2006:
GOOD
-More power
-Nearly the same weight as FZ6
-Better front suspension
-Better brakes
-Better rear swingarm
IN BETWEEN
-Longer wheelbase (+ straight stability, - turning ability)
BAD
-More MONEY (gas, insurance, parts, cost)
-Less comfortable seat (trust me, that seat is UNCOMFORTABLE)
-Visible weld in frame
-Smaller gas tank
CONCLUSION
-Less practicality for more power and quality. If you plan on getting this bike, you might as well go all the way for an R1 or something.
I like the entire bike except............for the muffler! What the heck is that???????? I know, FUGLY! Other than that it is a beautiful bike.
