Adequate

I meant 0 to 100 km/hr , apologies.

Mid eights isn't all that flash to be honest.

Not great in comparison, on paper, but adequate for day to day riding. With grunt kicking in at low revs, reasonable acceleration sounds easy to achieve.

Higher acceleration and higher top speed on the Ninja come at a cost in terms of economy and ease of riding. You pay the money, you make the choice.

None the less, I would have expected more of a match for a Honda in CBR guise. Practical and economical are more CB or CBF
