Q. Which is the best bike Kawasaki Ninja ZX 10R or BMW S 1000 RR?
  • The Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R is a liter-class track machine, the Ninja ZX-10R has won three World Superbike Championships in a row. Thanks to its racing credentials, the motorcycle is one of the most highly sought-after machines in its segment. On the other hand, BMW S 1000 RR is a great Streetfighter bike in this segment, the S 1000 RR might have lost its sharper styling but it is narrower than before, with a smaller fuel tank as well. This has made the bike easier to straddle and easier to lock yourself onto while cornering. The bike is surprisingly comfortable for a superbike with plenty of room in the saddle. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.
Q. What is the different between ZX10R and R1 ? while ZX10R cost only 14 lakhs and R1 cost 20 ?

Q. Which is good to buy between Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R and Yamaha YZF R1?
  • It would be unfair to give a verdict here as the Yamaha YZF R1 is yet to make its debut in the BS6 era. The Yamaha YZF-R1 is powered by a 998cc, in-line four, liquid-cooled engine which makes 200PS power. The ECU is programmed with five different types of control systems, including traction control, slide control, launch control and quick shifter. On the other hand, the Ninja ZX-10R has undergone a massive styling change for 2021. The motorcycle now gets the Ninja H2-inspired front fascia, just like most other Ninja series bikes. Its 998cc motor still pushes out 213PS and 115Nm, making sure it doesn't lose its membership from the elite 200 PS club. Revisions to the gearbox and final drive are said to make the bike even more livelier. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride for a better understanding of performance and comfort.
