Ninja 1100SX SE ABS 2026 vs Fazer 1000 2004

If straight-line speed is your priority, the Fazer 1000 takes the lead. With 9 HP more than the Ninja 1100SX SE ABS, it offers a more spirited ride that will be noticeable on highway overtakes or track days. Both bikes share a similar footprint on the scale, with only a negligible 1kg difference between them, so handling characteristics will depend more on center-of-gravity than raw weight. Riders with a shorter inseam should lean towards the Fazer 1000. Its seat height is 15mm lower than the Ninja 1100SX SE ABS, making it much easier to flat-foot at stoplights and increasing confidence during stops. Bottom Line: It's a close call. Choose the 1100sx if you prefer its specific styling and ergonomics, or the fazer-1000 if you want the alternative brand character.
