R1250RS 2024 vs Ninja 1100SX SE ABS 2026

In terms of raw performance, these two are evenly matched. The R1250RS and Ninja 1100SX SE ABS produce nearly identical power figures, meaning the real-world difference will come down to gearing and torque delivery rather than peak horsepower. When it comes to agility, the Ninja 1100SX SE ABS has a clear advantage. Weighing in 9kg less than the R1250RS, 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 R1250RS. Its seat height is 15mm lower than the Ninja 1100SX SE ABS, making it much easier to flat-foot at stoplights and increasing confidence during stops. Bottom Line: It's a close call. Choose the r1250rs if you prefer its specific styling and ergonomics, or the 1100sx if you want the alternative brand character.
