Looks like good condition James, I can't make up my mind about these either as they have a modern engine but Honda seemed to have chickened out on the styling and got a mix that for me doesn't really work.
I had a 900FA which I really liked and wish i hadn't sold, I like the birds comparison Bitsa like when somebody is driving down the road and looking at "birds" then crashes into the back of someone and you can see why.

Don't like seeing clock numbers that are not totally horizontal.

Argh.  Horrible things.  The F, especially the FB, is so much better.

Agree.

But the FZ was always the bike for me.

Here's mine (sadly sold this year)



And here's a terrific photo taken by John Noble for a Classic Bike magazine feature in 2009. CB vs Z1000 vs GS1000S vs XS1100

Nice photos Steve even if I did not like them much, still love to see them though.
