RSV4 2026 vs Ninja ZX-10R 2025

If straight-line speed is your priority, the RSV4 takes the lead. With 17 HP more than the Ninja ZX-10R, it offers a more spirited ride that will be noticeable on highway overtakes or track days. Both bikes share a similar footprint on the scale, with only a negligible 3kg difference between them, so handling characteristics will depend more on center-of-gravity than raw weight. Bottom Line: It's a close call. Choose the rsv4 if you prefer its specific styling and ergonomics, or the zx10r if you want the alternative brand character.
