Had a very enjoyable day on an FZ1 today while my FZ6 was in for some warranty work. Is anyone else thinking about going for the FZ1 further down the line?

Bren, you need to add the FZ1 so it's under your name in your postsQuite a few of us here have jumped that fence already! And we LOVE IT!!
What's not to like.....the FZ1 has more power & I found it not as buzzy. And it was easier to lower.
plus my wife said it sounded great when I pulled up in our carpark.
It just blew me away in every respect! I've only ever ridden the training bikes (CG125, ER-5), brief go on a Versys and the FZ6 so this was my first go on a litre bike.
The brakes had a great feel to them, felt strong, sharp and progressive.
First gear? Whooo! You can buzz around town centres in first without sounding like a complete idiot and the delivery felt much much smoother than the FZ6. Plus, it went like stink to legal limits and beyond! I took it for a run around some local twisties and the torque blew me away, a little twist and a clean safe overtake was done.
Sound from the exhaust, a lovely burble which I really wish my FZ6 had (I know ... an aftermarket can will sort that!), plus my wife said it sounded great when I pulled up in our carpark.
Seat was less comfy than the FZ6 but looks awesome, I'm sure an aftermarket one would cure that.
I've got the bug ... I've been bitten by the 2010 strain of FZ1!
