Why'd you upsize if you like the 6 so much?
Had it for seven years and way too many miles, was just itching for something different. Of course, me being stupid, I ended up with almost the exact same bike, it's even blue. My third blue Yamaha in a row, Radian, FZ6, now FZ1. Wanted a Tiger 1050, or Sprint ST, or Ninja 1000, but this FZ1 was a bit too good of a deal to pass up.
I'd say you were lucky to find a buyer, I wouldn't touch a bike with that mileage irrespective of service history and how it looks etc.
I had a surprising amount of interest in it, the third guy that came to look at it, bought it. Saying that, don't know if I would buy a bike with similar mileage without knowing the previous owner. It's a big gamble, and there's a lot that can go wrong along those miles. Saying that, my bike was in excellent shape, regardless of the mileage.
How are you finding the switch between 6 and 1? I'm wishlisting at the moment for when I finish paying for the 6, thinking of a second bike with a touch more power and a little more room for two, and the 1 is definitely on the list.

It's nice, but not sold on it yet. Coming from the 6, the power is intoxicating, just wow. There are some things I don't like about it. The tank is wide between the thighs which seems to put my right knee at an odd angle to how I like to put my foot on the peg. Fuel range is going to take some getting used to. I think it can max out at about 240km (150m), compared to the 360km on the FZ6. I think the riding position is actually more cramped than the 6, but I did 500km today and didn't have any pains.
