Eric,until I read this post ,I didn't know there was a litre class FZ in 2009.Other than the additional "Cajones",how heavier is your "09" Fz-1 to an "09 FZ-6 [like mine ?] While I earlly have no desire to go faster than I do ,I'm sure the X-tra torque & ponies are handy with a passenger.In your Opine, is one better served adding components & cranking up a "6" or just goin for broke & trading up to a 1000 ? Thanks,westmask.
