Both very similar but the FZ1 got my vote for one to actually put in the stable. It's been a few years so I'm not sure I could articulate why particularly well but the FZ1 seemed to have it all.

The question was how to prepare for a 1,000 miles ride in one day: ---------- I think it depends a lot more on the rider and the preparation than the bike itself. Within reason. There are some guys here that can only ride an hour or so before they are in agony. Doesn't matter what bike they are on.
