I just don't get why the versys is almost 100lbs heavier. Other than a much better suspension (front and rear), I'm not seeing any major differences that would be worth having that much weight.
All the youtubers I'm watching praise the versys non stop but are mediocre when it comes to the Z. If I just upgraded my suspension, I feel the Z would be better than the versys in all things pavement riding.
What am I missing?

Versys has a bigger gas tank, geared less aggressive.

Is Versys suspension so much better than z650’s???
