That's not true. The zx10r and ninja 1000 have a similar amount of power, the zx10r simply revs higher to gain those massive hp numbers. If you are riding a literbike on the street though I doubt you will be taking advantage of those extra revs considering that they put you over 100mph

In similar gears on the street, if you got WOT on both bikes (and try not to wheelie) you will find that they have similar acceleration, the zx10r will have slightly more but its hardly enough reason to say "I don't consider the ninja 1000 a literbike"
