If straight-line speed is your priority, the Z1100 SE takes the lead. With 23 HP more than the Monster V2, it offers a more spirited ride that will be noticeable on highway overtakes or track days. When it comes to agility, the Monster V2 has a clear advantage. Weighing in 46kg less than the Z1100 SE, 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 monster if you prefer its specific styling and ergonomics, or the z1100 if you want the alternative brand character.
