K 1300 S 2009 vs Ninja ZX-10RR 2025

If straight-line speed is your priority, the Ninja ZX-10RR takes the lead. With 25 HP more than the K 1300 S, it offers a more spirited ride that will be noticeable on highway overtakes or track days. When it comes to agility, the Ninja ZX-10RR has a clear advantage. Weighing in 47kg less than the K 1300 S, it will feel significantly easier to handle in low-speed traffic, parking maneuvers, and twisty corners. Riders with a shorter inseam should lean towards the K 1300 S. Its seat height is 15mm lower than the Ninja ZX-10RR, making it much easier to flat-foot at stoplights and increasing confidence during stops. Bottom Line: While both are capable, the zx10r offers a superior power-to-weight ratio, making it the more exciting machine for experienced riders.
