If straight-line speed is your priority, the Ninja 1100SX SE ABS takes the lead. With 17 HP more than the Tracer 9 GT +, it offers a more spirited ride that will be noticeable on highway overtakes or track days. When it comes to agility, the Tracer 9 GT + has a clear advantage. Weighing in 11kg less than the Ninja 1100SX SE ABS, 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 GT +. 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 tracer9 if you want the alternative brand character.
