Triumph Tiger 850 Sport vs Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX Comparison

The new Tiger 850 Sport is positioned as an entry-level offering in the Tiger line-up and is the brand’s most affordable adventurer tourer. It is targeted at first-time ADV buyers and tourers looking for more road-biased mannerisms and easy ride-ability over a fully-blown off-road motorcycle. Compared to the Tiger 900, the new 850 Sport is about Rs. 1.75 lakh cheaper, while sharing most of its underpinnings with the Tiger 900 including the frame, engine, and electronics to an extent. 

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.
