If straight-line speed is your priority, the Ninja ZX-4R ABS takes the lead. With 6 HP more than the 450SR (SS), it offers a more spirited ride that will be noticeable on highway overtakes or track days. When it comes to agility, the 450SR (SS) has a clear advantage. Weighing in 21kg less than the Ninja ZX-4R ABS, it will feel significantly easier to handle in low-speed traffic, parking maneuvers, and twisty corners. Bottom Line: It's a close call. Choose the 450sr if you prefer its specific styling and ergonomics, or the zx4r if you want the alternative brand character.
