If straight-line speed is your priority, the Ninja ZX-10R takes the lead. With 75 HP more than the 990 RC R, it offers a more spirited ride that will be noticeable on highway overtakes or track days. When it comes to agility, the 990 RC R has a clear advantage. Weighing in 12kg less than the Ninja ZX-10R, 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.
