If straight-line speed is your priority, the Ninja ZX-4RR ABS takes the lead. With 8 HP more than the RS 457, it offers a more spirited ride that will be noticeable on highway overtakes or track days. When it comes to agility, the RS 457 has a clear advantage. Weighing in 13kg less than the Ninja ZX-4RR ABS, it will feel significantly easier to handle in low-speed traffic, parking maneuvers, and twisty corners. Bottom Line: It's a close call. Choose the rs457 if you prefer its specific styling and ergonomics, or the zx4r if you want the alternative brand character.
