Both great options. You honestly choose based on brand and styling preference.

The Kawasaki Ninja 1000 has always been a great bike and the 2014 model is no different. The 2014 model brings improvement in styling, traction control, hard panniers, more power and new top-spec brakes. The Ninja 1043cc inline-four engine has bolstered the Ninja 1000's low and mid-range power. The 6th gear is longer, which helps you reduce revs at freeway speeds for more smoothness. Brakes feature ABS, and a new one-piece "monobloc" radial-mount front calipers.
Suzuki GSX1250FA
Engine: 1255cc 4 stroke 4 cylinder DOHC
Fuel Capacity: 19 litres
Transmission: 6 speed constant mesh
MSRP: $11,899
Fuel System: fuel injection

The Suzuki GSX1250FA has gotten great reviews. It excels in both power and comfort, making it a perfect sports-tourer. The 1255cc engine provides plenty of low down torque and the bike has great ergonomics. And for the price that it is going for, the bike has amazing value as well.
The GSX12500FA has a cutting edge fuel injection technology. The Dual Throttle Valve and advanced fuel injection systems make for instant throttle response, linear power, easy starting and economical running.
Honestly, the two bikes are very competitive. The greater displacement of the Suzuki GSX1250FA at a slightly lower price than the Ninja makes it an attractive choice. The Ninja 1000 has plenty of upgrades from last year's model though, like its new ABS brakes, selectable 2-mode digital ignition, and KTRC Traction Control. Ultimately, it might come down to a test drive and personal preference as there is not much light between these two great sports-tourer bikes.
