In terms of raw performance, these two are evenly matched. The Panigale V4 R and Ninja ZX-10RR 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 Panigale V4 R has a clear advantage. Weighing in 21kg less than the Ninja ZX-10RR, 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 Ninja ZX-10RR. Its seat height is 20mm lower than the Panigale V4 R, making it much easier to flat-foot at stoplights and increasing confidence during stops. Bottom Line: While both are capable, the panigale-v4 offers a superior power-to-weight ratio, making it the more exciting machine for experienced riders.
