  • 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.

The ECU is programmed with five different types of control systems, including traction control, slide control, launch control and quick shifter.
