I've also recently ridden both. Ended up buying the FZ1 Gen 2. The fz6 I rode was a 2009 with 400 miles on it. If price alone was the factor i would have bought it cause it was only 4500 at a dealer! So, yes you should see price difference. Same dealer had a FZ1 2006 with 14,000 miles on it for 6500.
If you are buying it for your wife I'd go with the FZ6 cause its a smooth ride and nice handling. I preferred the FZ1. It is a flattering bike to ride and when you want to feel the power its there. If the bike is for you and you're used to a big bike with lots of torque and hp, go with the FZ1. IMHO.
