Gotta say I love me Z, then again I've only had it 3 or so months and I use it everyday to commute into the warzone that is Stockwell.
It's not as torquey as I thought it would be and it needs to be noisier, que some cambell custom cans when the house is sorted.
Basically it's no sports bike but its a great fun so long as you don't try and outride it. You can still see silly speeds but not for long as the wind blast is a killer. ( not to mention the vibes)
Ride one and make your own mind up.
