I don't like either much but if I had to choose I'd go with the Yamaha. Bear in mind I don't like egos on most sport bikes I'm more a dirt/naked/adv guy.
I'm currently on a naked UJM from the 80s, which I love but there's been a lot of improvement in bikes over the 40+ yrs since she was built.
I'm leaning towards the z900rs, but people are really bigging up the cp3 it seems.
If that's the one you dig go for it. I just think Yamahas are a little more reliable. Nothing wrong with the Kawi.
I owned a 2019 z900rs. My buddy owns an xsr900. The xsr feels like a modern street bike. The z900rs feels like a classic Kawasaki Z, with a shitload more power and traction control.
Both feel sleepy once the retro novelty wears off. I traded the Z for a street triple.
Thanks for the comment, kinda looking for a more powerful ujm. Street triple looks cool too.
