If there is a version that you can get without the Z-rating, all that means is that the tire hasn't been tested/guaranteed to perform safely at very high speeds. Z-rating used to just mean, anything over 149 mph. Now there are ratings even higher than that, but it's a moot point for our ninjette. We won't be within 40 mph of having to worry about tire construction at speed. If the 110/70-17 is cheaper, I'd just get that one. If they are the same price, you're fine either way.
