I prefer Gen1 bikes styling and otherwise.
What is the "otherwise"? The lack of heated grips? The missing windshield memory? The yucky red (non-white) dash lighting? The non-existent computer grip switch and eco mode? Worse drain pan? More annoying mirror height? Smaller/less effective windscreen? No midpipe heat deflector? Having less senors? (Etc)
I mean, I can understand some people not linking linked brakes or having a color preference, and maybe the fairings (although I think the gen1 fairings are far less attractive).... But otherwise (and cost/resale aside), I don't know why anyone would "prefer" a Gen1... over a Gen2 especially if given the option between a new 2009 and a new 2014.
