Pros and Cons in comparison

Kawasaki Ninja ZX-4RR 2025

The mere fact that the Kawa Ninja ZX-4RR with its high-revving Inline four-cylinder engine in bonsai format has no real competition makes it absolutely unique. The engine is also the absolute flagship, with a rev limit at 16,000 touring you'll be addicted to wind out a gear! The suspension, brakes and electronics are of a high height, but what is more surprising is that, despite all the sportiness, the bike is still very suitable for everyday use - the seating position is not as radical as on other supersports bikes.

Fun in-line four-cylinder

precise quickshifter with blipper

balanced handling

sporty and pleasant ergonomics

comprehensive electronics package

Engine needs to be kept happy

looks confusing with other Kawasakis

Kawasaki Ninja 1100SX SE 2025

The Kawasaki Ninja 1100SX SE 2025 impresses with improvements in all the right places: The more practical engine, the revised traction control and the modified gear ratio make the Ninja fit for the future. The high-quality features of the SE version, such as Brembo brakes with steel flex lines and the S46 shock at the rear from Öhlins, take the model to a new level. Minor weaknesses such as the high fuel consumption and low payload diminish the overall impression somewhat. Yet the Ninja 1100SX SE remains an excellent sporting motorcycle for riders looking for comfort and dynamics in equal measure.
