A friend of mine bought a Z900RS (and he owned a Z650RS before for about 3 months).
Ever since we've been swapping bikes on rides, just to compare two very pretty retros in all their aspects and details. The differences to the CB1100 are substantial, and make you think I'd like to own both the Kawa and the Honda.
Anyway, he sold the smaller Kawa quickly, as he said not because she didn't ride smooth or accelerate enough, but because the 650 feels really small, almost flimsy. And the "perceived" quality in many details is not as good as that of the bigger sister. Since I had a chance to ride both, the smaller and the bigger Kawa, I can only concur. If I had enough extra space and dough, the 900 RS would would become my 2nd bike.
