why is the ninja 1000 low on horse power when compared to the zx 10r there both 1000cc engines from the same company, truly dissapointing unless it could be tuned

The Ninja 1000 is a beast! And the GSX 1250 looks like the GS 125 with a larger front, hideous!

the Kawasaki is much more visually appealing.

No need, Ive seen a few for sale on cragslist. I like both bikes, It's just the numbers given for size, Seem they should be in a different class. The K- is 1043cc & the S- is 1255cc. There is a 212 cc difference. Almost a 1/4 LT. If they was comparing a K-250cc & a S- 150cc no one say it's a fair test. That' was my thoughts on the video. I prefer a bike around 600 to 650cc, brand doesn't matter, They just needs to be be fun & reliable, Also get good MPG's. Best, yl

@ylism Check the forums..On the bandit forums it is extremely rare to find someone complaining of a failure...

It may very well be the old Bandit, but it's more of a all a rounder than the Ninja. Throw the factory hard bags and top case on it and you've got a doable tourer as well.

@niurou GSX1250FA is the old bandit 1250 ^^

There's a big size difference of 1/4 LT over the Ninja, To me that says a lot for the Ninja. It should be much slower, But it's not. In the end both should be fun to ride. That's all that matters, and of course reliability. Only time will tell there.
