If straight-line speed is your priority, the CBR1000RRR Fireblade SP takes the lead. With 12 HP more than the Ninja ZX-10R, it offers a more spirited ride that will be noticeable on highway overtakes or track days. When it comes to agility, the CBR1000RRR Fireblade SP has a clear advantage. Weighing in 5kg less than the Ninja ZX-10R, 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 cbr1000rr if you prefer its specific styling and ergonomics, or the zx10r if you want the alternative brand character.
