If straight-line speed is your priority, the Ninja ZX-10RR takes the lead. With 81 HP more than the R9, it offers a more spirited ride that will be noticeable on highway overtakes or track days. When it comes to agility, the R9 has a clear advantage. Weighing in 12kg less than the Ninja ZX-10RR, it will feel significantly easier to handle in low-speed traffic, parking maneuvers, and twisty corners. Bottom Line: While both are capable, the zx10r offers a superior power-to-weight ratio, making it the more exciting machine for experienced riders.
