Ninja 1100SX 2026 vs FJR1300 2001

In terms of raw performance, these two are evenly matched. The Ninja 1100SX and FJR1300 produce nearly identical power figures, meaning the real-world difference will come down to gearing and torque delivery rather than peak horsepower. When it comes to agility, the Ninja 1100SX has a clear advantage. Weighing in 33kg less than the FJR1300, 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 FJR1300. Its seat height is 30mm lower than the Ninja 1100SX, 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 fjr1300 if you want the alternative brand character.
