Ninja 1000SX 2024 vs Tracer 9 2024

If straight-line speed is your priority, the Ninja 1000SX takes the lead. With 23 HP more than the Tracer 9, it offers a more spirited ride that will be noticeable on highway overtakes or track days. When it comes to agility, the Tracer 9 has a clear advantage. Weighing in 22kg less than the Ninja 1000SX, 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 Tracer 9. Its seat height is 25mm lower than the Ninja 1000SX, making it much easier to flat-foot at stoplights and increasing confidence during stops. Bottom Line: It's a close call. Choose the 1000sx if you prefer its specific styling and ergonomics, or the tracer9 if you want the alternative brand character.
