Hello, my name is Richard and I'm about to purchase an FZ1. I would really like to get as much input concerning the following question: Which model type do you prefer? What are the advantages of the post 2006 and pre 2006 model? I have read a lot about what Yamaha changed, but I would really...

Thank you very much for all the help. I think it has come down to the idea you just had. After I have done my homework in determining what are the brands NOT to go with, it comes down to what my wallet and senses tell me. Thanks again
