Which would you go for and why?

Have heard good and bad things for both but keen to know opinions from actual owners or people who've considered these bikes before.

Neither, Z750's are meant to be awful for handling and the other one is a Suzuki.

Also for that sort of money you could have a slightly older 1050 Triple.

I'm perfectly happy with the old z750 which people say is this and that.
I'm not a racer or someone who must min max everything and never understood all this handling and suspension talk.I just get on it and ride.
The new z750 looks great and I imagine slightly more refined.
But the Suzuki does seem to be slightly better engine wise but tbh I never really use what I've got and I'd be happy with either.
I am a massive Kawasaki fan but I could be tempted away by the gsr.
Price and looks would come in to it but yeah if you can get a triple anywhere near their price it would probably be the better bet.

Or perhaps a good condition s/h Street Triple? Obviously, these are very much on my mind at the moment, and if you prefer the Suzuki or Kawasaki, fair enough. But worth considering too?
