yeah it is gen1, cruising at 65-80, 5th gear yields indeed some I would
call slight vibrations mostly sensed in the handlebars. During the
longer even longer ride they are easy to disregard becasue of other
snesations FZ-1 provides. I am kind of perfectionist, so I imagine other
people would have to notice that. Having said that I would consider
rather gen2 which got much better suspension, modern frame as well as FI.

The Buells and newer sportsters have some drawbacks, but vibration at
speed is not one of them. I'll take that over the i4 buzz any day
