Ninja 1100SX 2026 vs FJR1300 2006

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 57kg 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 35mm lower than the Ninja 1100SX, making it much easier to flat-foot at stoplights and increasing confidence during stops. Bottom Line: While both are capable, the 1100sx offers a superior power-to-weight ratio, making it the more exciting machine for experienced riders.
