At $800 a set, it's too rich for me. Also, it might not work with long exhausts. I'll keep spinning bikes on their kickstands. Nice collection though.

Nice garage!

Fellow sport touring enthusiast who has owned several VFRs and Versys and recently picked up the 2024 AT ES AS DCT. It’s the most impressive motorcycle I’ve owned. Love the bike for many of the same reasons you’ve listed. Ride safe out there 👍🏻

Is it possible to use AirPods?

I just test rode the 1100sx last weekend and i have to say, its the best all around bike I have ever ridden. No fatigue at all after a couple hours of riding and more power than a person will ever need

I have now a Kawasaki Ninja 1000 sx ( 2023) The first one Before I had Yamaha / BMW This is the best mc I had very good. I .R

Nice review. Any recommendations for ZX10R bar risers, and maybe even lowering the pegs a half inch or inch? I can't find good options other than race options which make things even tighter. Or this 1100SX with slightly lower bars maybe - how much can the bars be adjusted you think before they begin to interfere with the tank. Thanks.

Thanks for your video. Can you connect the phone with the bike and use google maps without a headset being connected?

How is the wind buffeting at hgwy speeds? Any improvements? Clean air\dirty air hitting helmet?

Just wondering, if you're in nz, where did you get the demo bike from as I'd like to try one as well? Cheers

Thanks for another informative review on an incredible bike. This bike has several “Easter Eggs” not noticeable at 1st glance: 1: The hand painted green lettering on the Supercharger emblem. Kawasaki states they hand paint it. 2: The twin taillights at first seem nondescript…until you realize the taillights are twin “H”, representing H2. 3: The large yet hidden “Z” on the right side panel. Once you see it, you can’t unsee it. This Z is reversed on the left side panel. 4: The nut on top of the triple clamp is in the shape of a Japanese Shuriken…a Ninja weapon!

Thanks for the review. Did you successfully convince your S.O. that this machine needs to be in your garage?

Thanks for the review. I noticed the same annoying whistle that I heard when TMF was riding his. 😐Couldn't really hear it when you put the visor down. Did you notice it? That's a fancy mic. Have you tired the 32bit float recording on the transmitter? 👍🏽

Excellent review! I love that you set up the ride review with a sit down category review. The shop owner interview was nice as well!

ZX10 with high bars. Problem solved

Another great review mate….. I traded my 2018 Ducati’s Multistrada PP for a 2024 Ninja1000SX and being of a similar age totality agreed with the sentiment and reasoning for the Ninja. I’m really enjoying the bike , it’s a great for the roads over here in Scotland and I can manage a 500 mile day on this bike as well as fill the panniers and get away for an overnight camping trip. I’m and 5’8” , fitted the lower seat for a more comfortable “ engaged” position and it suits me perfectly. Keep up the great content and good luck with your wife when you’re explaining your new purchase.

Thanks mate, if you're ever in Sydney I'm buying because you've explained this so well. I also know programmers and one once said "you make it idiot proof and someone invents a bigger idiot". Honda didn't get that memo.

Song new way cleaver just the way it is the sound how and what you say your .hearing the kind the of music just the way so cool

Hi! How do you like the new windscreen? Helps with the wind over 120 km/h?

What phone mount do you have on that jewel of a Bike? I have a 24 as well, got it in July!

I bought a 2022 went to it from my 2012zx14r. Just found myself doing more long distance touring zx14 worked for it but the hard bags are just so much nicer than the sw motec blaze system i had on the zx14. Looked at the 1000sx but the power was far from being able to replace the zx14. When they added the adaptive cruise in 22 is when i decided to get one. On long hiway runs on the zx14 it was almost impossible to keep it under 100mph so i decided to get something with cruise control before loosing my license.

Once all of this is setup, can you use other map apps like Gaia or Garmin to navigate on the Africa Twin screen?? I'm looking to buy a 2024 AT this spring and was curious if I would still have to use my phone for navigation when using any app other than Apple Maps

Thx for the comment- I’m still learning this stuff but plan to add index to content to more videos moving forward. My latest videos have them

I like the video but why do you dub in different engine sounds while you are riding? My previous bike was a 23 Triumph 1200 GT Explorer which definitely had a lot of HP. I traded it for a 24 Honda CRF450RL to do some dirt riding. I miss the road so now I'm fixing to buy my first Africa Twin ES DCT in the near future. Great scenery also. Thanks.

Remember to turn the volume up by the control on your left handlebar next to the page lever. Couldn't figure out why I couldn't hear anything. Once it's all set up your Cardo doesn't control the sound level the bike volume lever does. Yes, I'm an idiot.

Hi there Thanks for the nice content you put out 😊 I had a H2 SX and used it for commuting 90km daily. I found it a bit too much on the heavier side and have switched to the lighter 1000SX . Watching your video gave me a reminder of what I gave up and what I have. There is less stress in dense traffic with the lighter bike and here in Norway we are getting heavy fines for breaking the speed limit which is maximum 80km/h in most of the west part of the country. So in my case no need for the mean green speed rocket. But I loved it, specially when I took off to a longer journey Cheers

hi you can buy a security bolt for the ram mount👍

I am making the same comparison at this moment and I feel the same about Kawasaki edging out the Suzuki for the same reasons, however, I might be buying the Suzuki simply because I think the local dealer is offering a better financial deal. I can get the hard bags, USB, and heated grips at almost the identical price as the base Kawi. If I hadn't tested both there would be no issue, because they are both great

Thanks for the video, appreciate being able to see someone else be the test dummy before buying and pulling my own bike apart haha.

Afrika je určena do terenu, na kvalitni asfalt je lepsi cestivni motorka jako nt1100 nebo harley...kupovat si afriku na ježdění po rovném asfaltu neni dobrý napad

Hello thanks for your video. Have you done long distance touring on both your multi and the toureg ? If so how do you rate the toureg for road touring ? Long distance comfort ?

Funny how you mentioned Mallory Dobbs, however you failed to mentioned she was just a joke when she was racing in MotoAmerica, and I believed she finished around 40th spot last year ran, of course the commentators kept talking about her like she was something special, just because she was woman. Fast forward to the girlie series in WSBK and we all saw how pathetic it was for all but the 4 top riders, but what do you expect when wokeness and DEI is the game of the day, particularly in NZ, just look how you pick your ship captains in your navy.

I was lucky enough to have known Mat reasonably well in the early 80s and he's not changed a bit. Maybe a bit less hair. :-) I can confirm as well the part about the West London house having been to some parties there. The poor neighbours... Mat has always been very self effacing. When you're that good a racer or journalist you've no need to blow your own trumpet. So thanks for a great interview and sharing just a few of the stories Mat has to tell.

Loved the interview 🙏

Mat Oxley, Kevin Cameron and Cesar Agüí, the best Motorcycle Journalists who I have read ever. The common thing between them: Passion for Motorbikes. Thank you for the great interview.

I think it was TopGear who said you weren't a real petrolhead if you haven't owned an Alfa Romeo. I'll top it off by saying that you're not a MotoGp freak if you don't listen to EVERYTHING Mat says/writes!

Can’t understand why 688 views but only 31 likes🤷‍♂️ WTF

Interesting! I have a 1000sx the past 2 years and just added an Africa Twin as well! Heading to Alaska this summer! Let us know when you plan on heading up!

Great thanks, did not know Matt that much but had a great listening to your podcast. Thanks very much

Excellent, love Matt as a journalist and his days as a racer especially the Team Bike days on the RC 30, a spade is a spade with Matt. The only gripe with this interview is the sound volume between the two of you, got to be a bit of a pain by the end.

I love what he said at 41:50 👍 Thanks Dave!

Great review, love your thoughtful,articulate style …

Just came across your video now, and I am in the process of selling my Ducati multistrada 1200 Enduro, for a Ninja 1000 sx performance tourer,

Gotta get Zach up to the Ridge! That would be awesome!

Contents good but the music. why oh why, so not necessary.

N1K sx....all the way! Traded in my C14 for the Ninja, no regrets.

I actually had my Sena 10C EVO connected to my phone and AT additives working fine. I got a new helmet with a SC2 built in headset and it didn’t work. I’m gonna connect it how you did it.

Having just collected my 2nd hand Africa Twin (2020 model) this has just helped massively, so big thank you from Australia!

Question, do we need to stay plugged into the bike / usb for the entire ride to use maps, music, contacts ect? Thank you for this video and for not rushing through the setup process to quickly. 😊

Thanks!
