If straight-line speed is your priority, the Ninja 1000SX takes the lead. With 7 HP more than the Versys 1100, it offers a more spirited ride that will be noticeable on highway overtakes or track days. When it comes to agility, the Ninja 1000SX has a clear advantage. Weighing in 20kg less than the Versys 1100, it will feel significantly easier to handle in low-speed traffic, parking maneuvers, and twisty corners. Bottom Line: While both are capable, the 1000sx offers a superior power-to-weight ratio, making it the more exciting machine for experienced riders.
