If straight-line speed is your priority, the ZX-4RR takes the lead. With 48 HP more than the 300SR, it offers a more spirited ride that will be noticeable on highway overtakes or track days. When it comes to agility, the 300SR has a clear advantage. Weighing in 34kg less than the ZX-4RR, 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 300SR. Its seat height is 20mm lower than the ZX-4RR, making it much easier to flat-foot at stoplights and increasing confidence during stops. Bottom Line: While both are capable, the zx4r offers a superior power-to-weight ratio, making it the more exciting machine for experienced riders.
