What have you observed that makes you feel the refinement?
I'm leaning towards the bigger tank of the z900, but I'd be carrying a spare gallon on my camping trips regardless.
Its more of just how the bike feels when im on it. It feels solid and substantial has weight but still feels nimble. The places where you’re in contact with the bike feel thought out. The Z900 to me feels more raw and kinda plastic-y not necessarily like a toy but more like a well modified car that prioritizes performance over small details and comforts. Really it comes down to what you like the feeling of more to me its pretty much the top gear meme “that is brilliant, but I like this” If you can catch a demo day for each one I highly highly recommend it.
Demo days, good thinking. Thanks for the opinion, I'll keep em in mind while I try to test.
