Biggest rivalry, Suzuki Hayabusa and Kawasaki Ninja ZX 10R | HighRPM

 Biggest rivalry started when Busa came into existence, both Japanese manufacturers Kawasaki and Suzuki started fighting for the speed. Then the Gentleman's agreement came up between European and Japanese manufacturer with speed limit of 300km/h. 

The new Ninja ZX 10R and the new 3rd generation of Hayabusa now available in Indian market with aggression, passion and madness. Both the bikes are extremely eminent, known for theirs looks and breath taking power. ZX 10R and Busa both have features, style, power and zesty soul. 

But the main question is, which one is the best, which one is perfect for you❓

Price 

Kawasaki Ninja ZX 10R- 14.9 lakh 

Suzuki Hayabusa- 16.4 lakh 

Ninja is less costly than Hayabusa, the difference is not much but still there is 1.5 lakh difference.

Kawasaki Ninja ZX 10R

998cc 4 inline cylinder DOHC liquid cooled chain drive fuel injected BS6 engine.

The size of combustion chamber is massive between these two beasts, Busa produces more torque than Ninja but less power than Ninja however the peak power torque of Busa come earlier than Ninja which gives it punch before 10R.
