Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RS vs Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX Comparison

The 2021 Triumph Speed Triple 1200 RS is an all new model ground-up and it is positioned above the Street Triple RS as the company's flagship performance naked motorcycle. The new Speed Triple 1200 RS features an all-new 1,160 cc triple-cylinder engine which is 7 kg lighter than before. It makes 178 bhp at 10,750 rpm along with 125 Nm of peak torque coming in at 9,000 rpm. The new Speed Triple looks sharper, leaner and meaner than ever before! Boasting of an aggressive stance, the motorcycle now gets differently designed twin headlights along with embedded LED daytime running lights. Now, the motorcycle is expensive and doesn’t have much practical use, but if you do end up buying one, it will be a worthwhile investment.

The Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX remains one of the most accessible litre-class full-faired offerings on sale and the in-line four-pot motor makes for a highly likeable highway companion. Powered by a 1,043 cc liquid-cooled, four-pot motor that develops 140 bhp at 10,000 rpm and 111 Nm of peak torque at 8,000 rpm, the bike has a lot of electronic aids including ABS, cruise control, three-level traction control, Kawasaki Cornering Management function, quickshifter and more.
