If straight-line speed is your priority, the Ninja H2 SX takes the lead. With 22 HP more than the K 1300 S HP, it offers a more spirited ride that will be noticeable on highway overtakes or track days. When it comes to agility, the K 1300 S HP has a clear advantage. Weighing in 12kg less than the Ninja H2 SX, 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 HP.
