The Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R is a high-performance machine but comes with its drawbacks. First, the price point is steep compared to some competitors like the BMW S1000RR, which offers more advanced electronics and a more refined ride experience. The ZX-10R is also uncomfortable for city rides, with its aggressive seating position and stiff suspension, making it less versatile. While it excels on the track, the heat management is poor during normal commutes, making it uncomfortable in traffic. Given these issues, if you're looking for a daily superbike, the competition might be worth considering.
