I think that is very fair review, the suspension comments are spot on I'm sure. If you have to spend thousands on shocks & springs just to get near the others in ride quality & handling....maybe like your Z 800 a different spring will fix it. I'm not sure I would want to be the tester to find out. I would be exploring the geometry of the frt & rear suspension before deciding.

The comments about engine power are really good & how it is measured. When the Canadian sales rep suckered me into the deal he used the wheel hp comment, did not take long to figure out his BS. Very important to understand when comparing to another brand you need to use smaller engines for price comparison.

Biggest factor of all that is always missed in the reviews, support. Big miss with the CFMOTO brand, the end user can place value on that.

Just my 2 cents!
I purchased one of the first 950 Sport  models available in Arizona. After previously having a 2016 Zforce 800 for 2 years and 4500 miles this new 950 is an improvement all around in design, ride, interior layout, a little HP gain, better clutching, seats, air filter, 2 year warranty and on and on.
I think it's a great investment compared to the overpriced other brands!
Just my opinion! I only have 300 miles on it so far but WOW what an improvement over the Zforce 800!
