As Rich says, very different cars. The Hondas are very high reving, but not a lot of torque, on the other hand the Zed is a lot more lazy feeling, it has loads of torque but doesnt rev as high. It will pull in any gear at any speed though, and the power curve is so flat its very deceptive. They also limit throttle in the first 3 gears which means you dont get 100% ooomph by default.
Get out and have a proper test drive where you can give it a good ragging, you will be impressed. Just keep an eye on the speedo
