The 900's are out saw one at my dealer in IL. last month.
You might go to
www.powersportsnetwork.com to match spec's on the 2 bikes to make make sure there's not a difference your missing.
I know that I did this for my 16 classic vs. the c90 and the extra fuel capacity, fuel injection, maint. free valves,etc. made the 1600 a clear value over the c90.
