I was going back and fourth on purchasing the 2023 kawasaki ninja 1000sx. I saw it at my local dealership and really liked it. After seeing your video on the 2023 ninja 1000sx I actually went down and bought the motorcycle. I've owned it about 4 months and have absolutely no regrets.
That's awesome! Thanks for sharing this!
I want to be able to own these motorcycles someday, man. It must be quite a thing to call one of these things your own.
Glad that you're enjoying your ride. Stay safe!❤
Congrats I’m also looking into purchasing this bike
I've owned the 2018 model. And it's the only bike I regret selling. When ever I can afford a new bike, I Will be buying a Ninja 1000SX. Nothing comes close to how well it works on every level. I tok my 100% stock 2018 Z1000SX/Ninja 1000SX to the drag strip for my first dragrace ever and did a 10.9 second quarter mile (the video is on TH-cam). It's insane! And it handles like a sport bike, has the comfort of a sporty tourer and it has practicality with side cases and a very comfortable passenger seat. 100% the best all around motorcycle on the market.
I had this bike from 2012 to 2023. It was beautiful, crashed it, bought Triumph 1200RR had it for 6 months and swapped it back to new Kawasaki 1000sx - what’s a feeling!!! after Triumph- it’s like driving an electric car after a tractor.
Haha! That engine is definitely smooth!! Thanks for sharing!
I honestly don’t think there’s anyone more informative than you
Thanks for watching! I'm definitely doing something a little different than other people. Not everyone gets it, but I appreciate your support!
I have a 2022 Ninaj 1000sx, I bought it in 2022 brand new, and I still love the bike. Looks like nothing has changed. It's the best all around bike for me.
It's such a great bike! Thanks for sharing.
If you look at the history of this bike you can see the bike had an update every 3 years but this one is now going for its 4th year unchanged, it shows how good this 2020+ model has been. Im personally waiting to see if it gets an update in 2025 or 26 to finally buy it, currently have a Z900 but my commute is longer now so I want the better wind protection and the tech
@@Carlisho yes, I like z900 also. My Ninja 1000 has a top box for long distance and overnight traveling. I use my Ninja Zx6r for local canyons and track.
@@nicheleweathered1390 nice bikes man, Kawi makes the best bikes for the money
Super excellent review. I have a 2022 and fully loaded with hard bags, 12V outlet, heated grips, higher windscreen and also a nice set of black billers risers that make the bars 1” taller. I have 3 other sport bikes but this machine does it all with super reliability. The stock rear tire is 50 not 55 but you can still tip it 45 degrees and can ride this bike easy FAST or SLOW. That is the mark of an excellent bike
I did a demo of this bike today at bike week and I have to say I really enjoyed it I didn't know it was a sport touring bike that explains how I'm not all hunched over the gas tank like sport bikes and I'm sitting upright in a comfortable position
Yeah this is a bike that a lot of people are sleeping on. It's a great bike that I think more people need to spend some time with. Thanks for sharing your experiences.
A wonderful and very well explained review. Thank you
Thinking about one of these for next season! Thanks for the great review!
Really nice Ninja 1000SX motorcycle and helpful review too, thanks!
Great review! Your conclusion summed up why I bought this motorcycle. I purchased the 2021 model last year (2023) and have loved it. I live in Ohio and ride down to Virginia, Tennessee and North Carolina a few times a year to ride all of the twistys in the Appalachian mountains. I have several friends that I do this with and they all ride adventure or larger sport touring bikes. The Ninja 1000SX gets me there in perfect comfort and I have a better ride when I get there to attack the corners. I don't even have the side bags just a tail bag that I can fit a long weekend worth of clothes in no problem. You just have to know how to pack! I added 2" handlebar risers and a Sargent seat and it's even better now for the 6 to 10 hour days we do in the saddle. Seriously, 8 hours a day on average at 51 years old (5' 11" & 255 lbs) and I'm fine. Oh, and add frame sliders and you have make shift highway pegs as well. I could go on but I'll stop. I love my bike!
Thanks so much for sharing your experiences.
Hi Peter, great review! Any word on the Ninja 1000sx 40th anniversary edition coming to the US or Cananda?
Excellent analysis and very well presented. Covered every aspect of this beautiful machine.
Solid bike, great review! One of my absolute favorites.
After seeing your review on the Kawasaki Z 400, I bought 2023 new in November, does everything, happy with it. 59 years old my days on GSXR 750 and 600 were in my past, but the Z 400 does everything that I need now
Thanks so much for sharing! Enjoy your bike!
Every time I get my mind set on trading my FZ1 in for a Vaquero this bike rears its head. My mind and wallet say Vaquero, but my heart says Ninja. I test drove my buddies Vaquero and it was a great bike, but dangerous. After a couple miles I almost fell asleep, I was so comfy....and bored. At any rate I really like that your reviews focus more on the bike and features vs all on bike riding where things can get muddled with other bikes.
I'll do some riding reviews too starting this summer. But I feel like nobody does this, and I've found a bit of traction doing something different. So thanks for watching! I appreciate the support!
I've had two of these superb machines. Two things put me off having a third. It's very easy to go very fast, and I was worried about losing my license. The other, more important, reason is that my wife found them incredibly uncomfortable.
A great touring bike.
I've only found your channel recently but your reviews are very informative. I'm considering an NT1100 and a Ninja 1000SX as my next bike. I have a 929 Fireblade and Blackbird and just need to decide if I want a sporty tourer or a more sedate one.
Thanks for your kind words! We don't have the NT1100 here in Canada right now, I think it's a pretty interesting bike from what I've read. I do love the Ninja 1000SX though. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! All the best in your search!
Exzellent Review.Thank you. Great.
Great review!
I have a 2023 with a Yoshimura pipe, bags and the larger windscreen. I can see why it’s a good seller - amazing bike 👍
I currently have a 2012 1000SX and love it. I've done many kms, commuting, mountain roads, long many day trips and that includes motocamping. I use an after market (Givi) topbox and strap an extra bag to the seat if needed.
It was a great step up from my 2004 VFR800. I have test ridden a 2023 model and would upgrade in a heartbeat... if I had the money.
My 2024 will be in NZ in 2 weeks. Can't wait. I come from owning Honda's and Yamaha's. They currently doesn't have anything that interest me so I made a decision to buy this bike. Just the necessary tech and a proven reliable motor. I know the quick shifter is not the greatest but being old school, It won't bother me. I personally think that this bike is the best value for money by far. It's competitor: Suzuki 1000GT/TRQ comes with panniers, but it's got mediocre tyres and woody/spongy brakes. To rectify it, you need to change the brake pads, and sometimes the brake lines to braided lines. In some cases you have to replace the master cylinder. Plus the tire replacement. Too much money. I had the same problem with one of my bikes and I learned my lesson. COSTLY!!! I have ridden my mates Kawi Z1300cc years ago, actually, many years ago as well as the Ninja 1000cc 1988. This will be my first Kawi.
Best video I've seen yet for the Ninja spec wise!
Thanks for watching, and thanks for taking the time to comment!
This is currently at the top of my list for my next bike. I’ve currently got a naked (first bike) and the wind barrage just isn’t fun. I absolutely love sports bikes but due to having a shagged back it’s a no go, and I plan to tour whenever I can. So this seems like the perfect balance between them. Also looks so nice and it’s well priced
I hear you! I love my Z900RS SE but a little wind protection, cruise control... Those sure would be nice! Thanks for watching!
Hey Peter! I love your videos and want to thank you for the effort you put into them.
I have a technical question, but I am not an english native speaker, so hopefully i can get my question through successfully:
If i buy the 2023/2024 model of 1000SX, would it be possible to mount the whole exhaust system from 2017-2019(current design)? I mean both the pipes from the engine head up until the 4 exhaust mufflers(2 on each side)? Maybe not the pipes, but at least the manifold and mufflers.
Thanks a lot.
I think there was a change in emissions regulations between the years that you talk about, and the current years. So I'm not sure if the computer is set up for that exhaust system. You may have to check with your dealer to see what they say.
Thanks for watching!
Hey Peter. I'm coming off Z900 and I'm torn between Ninja 1000 SX and Versys 1000 S. A heart says Ninja, the mind says Versys. The only thing that worries me is the comfort. Is the Versys much more comfortable or are they close? Seat wise as well as ergonomics. Appreciate your help.
I bought a used 2020 and I love it. I added the heated grips, a Corbin seat, and some frame sliders. I should mention that the previous owner installed a full Akrapovic exhaust. I don't ride 2 up, so I slapped a tail bag on the rear seat and works great. The engine is buttery smooth with usable power everywhere and I can spend hours in the saddle. I also like that it doesn't use the cyclops headlight system both lights are on for low and high beams. I also have a MV Agusta TVL which is a touring bike, however you would think MV Agusta would make a touring bike influenced by Ferrari, not Jeep, sadly that's not the case. This is a SPORT-touring bike MV Agusta should had designed.
I bought a 2023 in August of 2022. 4,100 miles on it in perfect condition. Looking to sell in OKC.
I have a 2011 and I love mine. Comfortable and fast. I keep up with super sports when I want and my back doesn’t hurt
It's a very good bike. It's probably the best all-rounder out there! I've literally px'd my 2023 for a 2023 pre registered MT10.
What difference is there with the 2023 model? thank you
As others have stated, I like your presentation style, which throws a bit of the model's history in. I was torn between this and the one I bought on November 23. Great idea to buy a bike in Canada in November, lol, but I did it.
Anyway, the only reason I didn't buy this was the price, and it's a bit bigger in person than I expected. For my type of riding, this bike wasn't really necessary. But she's still a beauty!!
Instead, I went with a 23 Z900 SE. 🐺😎
Hahaha! So you did exactly what I did!
@@PeterLoweOne LOL, pretty much!
I currently ride a 2014 VFR. Love it but it is 10 years old and they don't make it anymore. Starting to look for my next ride. If anybody that has purchased the 1000SX that has time on a VFR, thoughts? Thanks
great info, just a thought what is the difference with the z1000 sx and the Z1000 Ninga from the Sunny Skegness UK
The move from Z1000 to Ninja 1000 SX was an evolutionary change, that I think is worth it. They made a very minor geometry change to give the bike better low speed handling, got rid of the dual pipes and made it into one for some weight savings. There are also some stylng and technology changes. Both bikes share the same engine and are generally very very similar, but if you have the option of the Z1000 or the Ninja 1000SX, everything else being equal, go for the Ninja.
Thank you for the detailed review.
Riding a Z900 atm. Very fun bike to ride, but get a lot of turbulance at higher speed. I'm thinking about switching to the 1000SX to combine a sporty ride and a long range tourer. Not a huge fan of the adventure touring style. So I feel like this bike really has a complete package for me. Testriding it soon and if all is well, I might just do it.
I LOVE this bike. I think, for what you're describing, you'll be happy with it. This bike has a refined feel that just sets it apart. It feels special.
Hey that's my bike! Traded my sportster for it right around when this video would've came out
Haha! It probably IS your bike! Great bike!!
How did you get a green one when the only option showing for 2024 is black and gray?
I film in Canada. We have a black and green option, and what sounds like the same option as you mention.
@@PeterLoweOne I like the green one better!
26:00 i asked my local kawasaki dealer about why not have both top box and side panniers, when the versys does have both, he said it's because the versys has a lower top speed, so the wind doesnt catch the three piece luggage as much as it would on the ninja
That could be a reason, but that's not the official reason that I've heard. I do believe that there is information somewhere that advises that the side panniers shouldn't be on if you travel faster than 130 or 140 km/h (I can't remember the exact number, but it's one of those) I can tell you that they hung on just fine on my Versys 650 at those speeds (Unless you're a cop... then I wouldn't know!🤣)
touring by motorcycle is awesome. more people should do it.
You and I share that opinion!! 😃👍
I bought this motorcycle in June 2023, I absolutely love this motorcycle. I have a complaint though; This exhaust does not sound like other 4 cyl motorcycles. I am not sure if adding a slip-on will change it. I am thinking of getting Yoshimura slip-on but I am not sure if a slip-on will enhance the sound. Please add your thoughts. What should I do?
th-cam.com/users/shortsXykgWD4W-tA?si=kxTKxuUHRmUhAuwq
I got the scorpion slip-on exhaust. Not a full system. But it's still sounds good
Yeah I also just put a black widow slip on and removed the baffle. It's soooo much better.
I have a Yoshi on my 2023. Best sounding bike I have ever owned. Throaty but not obnoxious at high speeds
Does anyone know why the akropovic exhaust is not available through Kawasaki Canada? It is a factory option elsewhere
This is just a wild guess, and I'm not sure of what holds true for the auto industry follows through to the motorcycle industry, but in the auto industry, certain accessories have to be "approved" in Canada before you can sell them. Something like factory approved hitch, has to be tested or at least approved to say that it holds what it says it will hold, (an aftermarket hitch doesn't have to go through the same approval process) so it's entirely possible that an aftermarket exhaust, sold by the manufacturer, may have an approval process to go through? Another wild guess is that aftermarket shops may have exclusivity rights to be the only ones to sell those as an option? Again, all wild guesses.
Could be. I haven't checked yet to see if it can be ordered directly from Akropovic, but if so, I wouldn't add it until after warranty is up as it's not an 'official' factory part here.
Does it have 6 axis imu?
the hard saddlebag set is insanely expensive. $1038 for the bags but you need to buy separately the fitting kit, the colour panel set, trim set, and lock cylinder set. in the end you're looking at like $1600-$1700. and dont forget the $400 heated grips.
Accessories is where you have to see if the dealer wants to help out a bit. I know this dealership where I film has a phenomenal maintenance and accessory discount plan when you buy a bike, so there's room to help out the customer there.
Plenty of these for sale near me for a good price with all bags included. 😅
How is this bike for someone with around 2-3 years of experience on a 300cc? I was thinking of upgrading to a 600/636, but their riding position is too aggressive for me, (as I also tend to use it for daily commute), and this is pretty close in power to those bikes as compared to the 200+ hp bikes.
It's tough for me to recommend any bike just based on what you ride. If you said you wanted to move from a Ninja 300 to a Ninja 650, that's an easy answer, because it's such a natural progression. This bike has a LOT of power, but a responsible rider can absolutely handle it. One thing to keep in mind is that this bike will be a lot heavier than your 300, and that can mean it's a much different handling bike at low speeds. Most people don't need a bike with THIS much power. I have the Z900RS SE and that bike has less power than this but is more than anybody would need on the streets. But I hear you, I love this bike too, and if you're responsible, and well practiced, it's not impossible to move to it. It may be perfect, but that's up to you, if you're ready for it. The worst thing you can do is move from a bike like a 300 that has you really comfortable, and dump a bunch of money into a bike that causes you to lose confidence and enjoy riding less. But again, this is an awesome bike, so if you're ready for it, you'll love it.
@@PeterLoweOne Hey Peter, coming from a ninja 250 cc bike, although only few months into riding my new ninja 250, I am already contemplating in a distant future (probably few years down) to own this ninja 1000 SX. I am assuming the ninja 300 will not be much different in terms of power compared to my ninja 250 (due to how license category works here in Malaysia, the 250cc version seems like a obvious choice for Kawasaki to rollout instead of the 300cc version, much like how the 400cc version is not sold here) so I think your recommendation holds true in my situation as well.
But I’d like to just write this here to say a huge thank you for thinking this through and seriously before replying to this comment, although not intended but opinion shared here is also applicable to my situation. I just wanna say that I appreciate your thoughtfulness in engaging with your audience, and your recommendation provided me a very valuable opinion to consider. That I better think this through and do a lot more homework before getting my hands on a machine that weight and produce significantly more power than my 37 hp 250cc little bike. That being said, it’s good that you mentioned the ninja 650 too, which is also worth considering for my next upgrade.
Keep up the good work Peter, love your content.
Instead of the 12v outlet I fitted a double USB with battery charge indicator.
Imagine from sf to Oregon on a motorcycle that has cruise control
What would you buy. This Kawasaki or Suzuki Hayabusa. Could you explaine why would you choose one or the other? Thanks for comments
You can have topbox and side from Kawasaki. Simply use the givi mount for topbox and you will be able.
Nice job . I like to get this bike but my knees wouldn’t like it.
I'm 54 with a messed up back and I find it comfortable to ride. Switched from HD tourers to these, one reason is the HD tourers hurt my tailbone and my wrist (clutch).
Where do you get a green and black model?
I film in Canada.
@@PeterLoweOne why don't they sell that color in the US?
I was interested in the 2024 Kawasaki Z1000RS SE but then found my way to the 2024 Suzuki Katana; more go power and not a crotch rocket; now this. Which is the best all rounder?
Better all rounder? I don't know. I think if it was purely and "all rounder" decision, I'd choose this. I've been a fan of this bike for a LONG time, so I may be biased, but at some point more power doesn't matter that much. For me, this SX has SO much power, how often are you going to go full throttle at high RPM on regular roads to experience that little bit extra. These bikes are PLENTY powerful enough as is, and this has a great mid range which is where you'll drive it most of the time. But back to your point, as an all rounder, this can add great factory bags, and that alone makes it a more versatile bike for me. It also has a factory adjustable windscreen, so little things like that make a difference in a true all rounder.
@@PeterLoweOne Thank you very much for your reply; makes perfect sense to me even without the available accessories meaning using it as a daily driver without bags. Now thanks to your review I do not think of it as a bulky sports tourer at all!
Does the 2024 have an autoblipper now?
Yes. A quickshifter. It's had this feature for a while.
Great video, great bike but still prefer my Suzuki gsx-s1000gt because it's a lighter bike and lower seat hight which suits me better.. 🙂
I have the 2023 Kawasaki ninja 1000sx - and already I have 10 000km+ on it. Incredible bike, incredible engine - everything you will ever need. Good for the city, good for the road, good for the highway. Just few minor thing - the heated grips are DANGEROUS to use when you are riding, because distracts you сounting the flashes. And even the touring wind shield will not shield you from the wind on the highway. But I can live with that ❤
I mentioned on my review of my Kawasaki Z900RS SE that the heated grips interface is ridiculous. The grips are fine but you basically have to stop to safely see what setting the grips are on.
Other than that, I agree with everything you're saying.
I've had my late 2020 Ninja 1000sx Performance Tourer since May last year. I absolutely love it. My only gripe is that the heated grips are utterly crap. I can barely feel any heat coming through my gloves. They are basically useless.
I would to see you do a video like this on the new Yamaha Tracer 9 GT +
I plan to! Stay tuned!
@PeterLoweOne for sure. I think it's awesome how you talked about the riders leg triangle. Your review, swayed me away from the Ninja Tourer due to the knee angle. So know I'm kinda leaning towards the Versys 1000 or the Tracer 9 GT +. Looking forward to your review
@@krism2746 You must decide what type of bike you need. The Tracer 9GT plus for me is a long weekend touring bike. The Kawi is a longer traditional touring bike. I looked at the Tracer and decided the Kawi are better suited for longer rides. It depends on where you live, the roads you are going to travel on and the distance and days you are going to spend on the bike. I am far more comfy on the Kawi over a period of 3 weeks. The Yami just didn't suite me. Very limited space on the seat and tooo upright for long distance. It's a personal preference. The seat and wind screen for me sucks!!! Never being on a Versus so I can't comment. I like more HP AND TORQUE as in NZ, we have a lot of twisties and UTES with boats and caravans as well as tractors on the road everywhere. The Yami T9 GT+ does have one of the best motors ever made but it lacks comfort and style for me. It's an ugly bike and a not so well finished look. It's got a unrefined look. If you can't get of your bike, step away, stop, look back to appreciate the looks of your bike, you should not buy it. The Yami can't do that for me. Yamaha took the MT09 and added an ugly fearing and crab like lights to it. Not a good look at all. This is coming from a huge ex Yami fan.
Why.. even in 2024, exhaust aren't full black.. I just can't.. I replaced mine on a Kawa 650 for a Yoshimura (and yes the sounds is even better) but stock, there are so many companies that makes them full black, what's blocking them? It kills the looks.
Does it have a fuel guage ? Unlike the zx10r
You'll have to watch the video. I show that in the video. (also, yes it does)
Ahh yes I see it , thanks Peter lovely content❤
I was in between this, the gen 3 hayabusa or the H2 SX. i went with the Hayabusa as it's just as capable if not more than the H2 SX SE at nearly half the price and only about ~2.5k more than the S1000 SX
I like the slightly more compact size of the 1000 SX personally, but I can totally understand your decision. Great bikes to be able to consider!
Hi Peter
whats the real world top speed of these? google says 155mph but I know sometimes google is wrong abt top speeds so Im wondering if anyone has tested it
249 kph (155 mph) Autobahn Germany.
hey Peter please do the H2 SX SE next if you can
I would love to! Jim Gilbert's didn't pull one in last year, but I'll try to find one this year.
I’d like to see that comparison as well, Peter. Excellent job on the review too. 👍🏽
Are you in Canada 🇨🇦 or California ?
🇨🇦
Hello Peter
The ECU restrictions are ridiculous.
🤷♂️
How do you not know your inseam?
Either your wife or your momma buys your jeans 😆
This is probably my next bike
I have a few different inseams on my jeans depending on style, and an inch or two different matters to all of you TH-cam commenters.
All good come and play with us but bring your bike unless you aint comfortable riding in big groups then that's another story because certain people get nervous around too many bikes thy say solo is a lil safer
Excellent byke! But i love my Honda cbr500 2022 more!
Yeah! That's a great bike too! Thanks for watching!
They don't allow top box and side panniers because the frame cannot support the weight of both with a pillion passenger on against their safety standards
It's side cases OR top case, not both. That's correct. As for why, I've heard various reasons including things similar to what you've said, but I haven't sought out an answer that I can be sure of.
@PeterLoweOne That's the official response I had received from Greenham Kawasaki (UK) in 2019 when I bought my z1000sx. :)
😊
Im 5,4 can I lower it
I'm not sure, but there are aftermarket kits for a LOT of bikes, so it might be worth a Google search.
@PeterLoweOne thanks I'm here in Australia I have the 2023 650l and I'm always doing long rides just something with more power si this looks ideal just my height stops me
I really dig this bike, but it's too pricey for me. I wish there was a Ninja 750SX. Kawasaki should reincarnate their 3 cylinder, put it in a Ninja 650 and have a lighter, less power, less complicated Ninja 1000SX.
Using the 950 engine that's in my Z900RS SE to build a sport tourer with an adventure seating position would be interesting. Make it smaller and more sporty than the Versys but taller seating position than the Ninja 1000sx?
My issue with this bike over my Z900RS SE is that the Ninja is in a significantly more expensive insurance class where I live and that knocked it off the top of my list. I love the bike that I have, but I still love the Ninja too!
So true on the insurance part coming fr a Manitoban.
It might suggest an older N1K to fit your price point. I have a ‘13. Pretty much the same (power and ergo’s) except it doesn’t have the electronic gnanny’s. Mine does have ABS tho. But an older one gets you ‘in the door’ and into the club. Don’t think you’d be disappointed.
I'd love someone from Kawasaki to explain why the 40th Anniversary Ninjas are coming to North America...except the 1000sx.
I'll ask around and see what I can find.
@PeterLoweOne Cool. I have a 40th anniversary Toyota 4Runner, and a 40th anniversary 1000SX would be immediate buy 😀
Bought the 2024, but still not impressed that the anniversary 1000SX didn't make it to Canada
6:41 Porsche 911 doesn't handle better than Porsche SUV lol that's a tough one
"that doesn't mean that the Porsche 911 doesn't handle better than the Porsche SUV"
Those words mean that the 911 handles better. You need to listen to the entire sentence to understand what I mean. Could I have said things more clearly? Sure, but what I said is correct.
@@PeterLoweOne You are right, sorry.
?clearance?
What are you asking? Ground clearance? 5.3 inches. 135mm.

Thank you.
Different skin color but same spirit
Quick shifter makes the motor cycling a boring experience not exciting
Opinion or a fact?
Just ride your motorcycle in to the United States 🇺🇸 i will send the coast guards at the border to escort you and give you a jittery coffee ☕️😅
Peter and patrick and Paul those are sold Christian ✝️ names straight up
What do you mean a Porsche 911 doesn't handle better then an SUV. You are kidding right. An SUV handles like a brick..
I'm pretty sure I didn't say what you heard. Send me the time stamp and I'll see if I can clarify.
