2021 Kawasaki Ninja 1000 SX Review

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 ก.ย. 2024
- The Kawasaki Ninja 1000 SX offers a sports-touring package that bears some resemblance to the brand's WSBK winning ZX-10R, but in reality is it's own motorcycle, with a focus on comfort, long distance touring and of course built around a rewarding four-cylinder.
Priced at $19k on the road as tested, the Ninja 1000 SX is a great blend of technology and value, with traditional suspension, quality of life features like cruise control, adjustable screen and levers, an eye catching dash and easy to use electronics system.
If you're interested in racking up the miles, but don't want to go full tourer, the Ninja 1000 could be the bike you're looking for, being suitable for everyday riding when you don't want to load up the luggage or pillion and head away somewhere distant.
The super smooth engine also really benefits from a quickshifter, making for an extra engaging and fun experience, with the use of the clutch largely optional once moving, well suiting the linear four.
To demo ride the 2021 Kawasaki Ninja 1000 SX contact or head in to MotoHub Motorcycles in Castle Hill in Sydney. A big thanks to them for letting me quick test the bike! Their details are below:

For anyone interested in this bike and long term view, don't bother.... with any other bike. If you're looking for an allrounder that does everything really well, then just go for it.
The 2020>Ninja SX is a joy to behold and even more joyous to ride. Whether commuting in the worst of conditions (and let's face it, here in the UK we call that weather), or touring with the panniers or blasting through the curves, the almost electric smoothness of the engine and ride are sublime.
A year on and I still smile just knowing she's in the garage waiting for me.
mate what range do you get on a full tank?
Great relative feedback, thank you.
I just bought Kawasaki Ninja 1000 SX Model Year 2023 (my old bike is Yamaha MT-09 2016) OMG!!!!!!! What I bike! I am in love!!!!!
Last week I had to make a hard emergency brake from 60 kph down to practically 0 (on my brand new 1000SX). The brakes worked perfectly. No wheels blocking, no sliding, nothing but a smooth stop in time. Excellent!
Yep it's a great system, and on the road, heaps of extra bite there isn't necessarily a good thing, where having plenty of power and modulation gets the job done safely.
How many miles per tank? Thank you.
Coincidentally, I got to test ride this same bike about a week ago. I found it to have a super smooth power delivery, with lots of torque in every gear, excellent quickshifter, very good display, and the comfort for my 6’ 1” frame was very good. I thought it was an excellent value here in the U.S. where it retails for less than $13k before State sales taxes.
I definitely think the value proposition is a big win, so many bikes are getting quite pricey these days.
Very nice review Kris - you added in a lot of info that's typically ignored by other (larger/more mainstream) reviewers, and I think it's stuff that real-world buyers want to know about - kudos! Nice to see you cruising Old Pac!
Great review. I just got a ninja sx last week and I love it!
Picking mine up this Wednesday, 8/4/21 can't wait
Congrats!
@@MotoJournoKris Thanks
I was on the n1k forum the other day (z1k owner, the z1000sx has been called n1k in the US since it came out) and honestly I’m surprised and super pleased how many people are still getting into this bike. Really a testament to the original design of this platform and engine
I think bikes like these may not be the biggest names, but riders know when they are onto a good thing.
I bought my 2015 brand new now I have over 40K miles on it just change the oil and routine maintenance. Never had any issues with it.
Just traded in a 2016 for a 2020. Love this bike, and the improvements with the 2020 made the upgrade worthwhile. I did prefer the looks of the exhaust on the pre 2020 model though.
Forgot to mention...the panniers are the nicest system i've seen in any bike, look great on, hold a helmet, remove in seconds and you cant even tell the bike is fitted for them. Quite amazing.
They did a great job ensuring they were well integrated and really tight on the bike. It's one of those machines that always looked like it was designed with them in mind, they aren't just tacked on.
I ride with a mate that has this bike , its a good bit of kit , he's very happy..
Great review. Apparently a new one will be announced in a couple of days. Remains to be seen if it is a minor or major update. I am waiting for that before signing up for one.
Always worth waiting to see. Even minor updates can help get you a good runout deal if there's the previous year model still there when they arrive, or get close to arriving. Interested to see where they go on this bike though.
I test rode this bike this past weekend at a Kawasaki event near me and I have to say it's a VERY comfortable bike! After some time riding I did feel like my butt was on fire and that's probably from the exhaust but overall I was very impressed with the smoothness of the quick shifter and power of the engine. I'm planning on buying one hopefully soon.
The fire in your butt would not have been from the exhaust, that's for sure. I will not pass judgement on where you had that burning sensation from ...
Dave Bishop - If your butt was on fire on this you should try a Ducati Panigale 🥵🥵😂!
I’ve done over 6,000 miles on mine now and it’s just a very sophisticated thing and so easy to live with,..stellar value as well 👍
Moto kris,
Should've demonstrated the side cases if the dealer had them available. Good video, the 2022 model looks even better with red decals. Ride safe.
Sadly no side cases at the time!
Great review Kris. Thank you. I actually didn’t know it had a quickshifter, I paused your video at about the 3/4 mark and then re-started it from the beginning as I was watching the gear indicator and your left hand. So before you mentioned it did I realised it must’ve had one as I didn’t see you use the clutch at all. Looked very smooth both up and down as you mentioned towards the end. 👍😎
I meant to mention it as the beginning as I had so much fun using the quickshifter up and down, and then totally forgot to mention it properly. I probably should have cut that in earlier in the video!
@@MotoJournoKris I’m glad you actually didn’t mention it earlier, as it made me watch it twice, just to double check. So, from my point of view it was an unintentional way to get peps to maybe watch it twice. Great job! 😊
Just know that the quick shifter has a couple of "rules" also mentioned in the owners manual, for example, it doesn't work well under around 2500 revs and throttle must be off when downshifting, throttle should be on when upshifting
@@nickthequick Yep. Why would you use it outside of those parameters? I’m the type of guy who enjoys reading owners manuals as they contain stuff that is good to know for the inexperienced, and can also be a bit entertaining for the experienced. I usually have a chuckle with the stuff like ensuring you engage the clutch fully before shifting into 1st gear and applying a bit of throttle before you slowly release the clutch to get underway. Some of the safe rider tips are written as if the buyer has never ridden a motorbike before... 😂
@@marcusgeorge1825 I was just mentioning it because people have been dissing the quick shifter and I think they don't know how/when to operate it properly.
i have one Black/White on the way within the next 2 months
Wicked, congrats!
Great review of a great bike, Kris! I owned one from 2017 to this time last year (a victim of Covid in some respects) and can honestly say that, despite the weight, it is probably the easiest bike I have ridden to date. Feet-up U-turns, dawdling along at 5mph, sportsbike chasing at ...uhm ... slightly faster haha, two-up touring in Wales in the rain. My gf was totally new to biking and can confirm that the pillion pad is far more comfortable than it looks. It is slightly top-heavy imo and this caught me out a couple of times whilst at a standstill and I actually managed to drop the thing! So a slight worry that the seat height has apparently increased. I'm 5'8" (1m72) so that might mean buying the low seat option; why so flippin' expensive?!?! Other than that, I'll definitely buy another one - unless Suzuki's new GT gets my hard-earned? Always been with Kawasaki though so ... Thanks again!
Cheers! I definitely think that's the thing about these bikes, people assume they must be heavy of unwieldy, but in actual fact they are very easy to handle. Like you mentioned a little top heavy which can bite you once they get a bit far over, but generally they can be easier to handle than lighter bikes for low speed and maneuvering. It'll be interesting to see how that new GT stacks up really!
Awesome review mate.
Does it have wheelie control?
Not that I remember to be honest, hoping to get to ride one again soon and will be sure to check.
One of best video/review I have seen about the 1000SX. Well detailed and well done.
What are you likely to prefer? The Ninja 1000SX or the new Tracer 9GT?
Cheers! I haven't had a chance to test out the new Tracer yet, I'm interested to see how it stacks up. I have a feeling with all the updates the Tracer 9 GT will move into a higher price category though.
Great job on the review. Any chance that you can review a 2021 Tracer 9 GT, I would Love to get your perspective. Thanks 😊
I definitely will be, just waiting for them to arrive and one to be available for a test. I'm really keen to see how that new version stacks up, seems like it should be a big upgrade over the last version.
ja rodei 3000km com uma ninja 2018 - 9.000km , é uma moto incrivel, brilhante.
Very nice, great to hear you're getting some mileage in!
Im planning a new bike this year and its this and the tiger 900 gt pro that i keep coming back to. Both bikes get superb reviews. Obviously a big price difference.
Yep I really like the Tigers too, but the Ninja 1000 is great on the value front.
@@MotoJournoKris i put a deposit on one yesterday.
@@MsChrisep Awesome! What sealed the deal for you?
@@MotoJournoKris the price and the looks. Its got all the bells and whistles i want and need.
@@MsChrisep Fair enough!
I have a 2020 Ninja 650 I like the upright seating position for long rides. Sat on the ZX-10R and ZX-6R and didn't like the seating position. Will have to try the 1000 SX. Price doesn't seem to bad either.
They are still good value machines even as the SX, considering where the prices are going these days, and infinitely more comfortable than the ZX-10R or the 6!
Excellent, informative review- thank you. I'm giving this bike serious consideration as my next ride. I owned an '11 N1K & loved it but that was a few years back and my shoulders have worsened w/age- one of my few concerns w/the bike, the other being a good passenger ride. My '11 was NOT good two-up and I don't honestly expect the '20/21 to be much better, in spite of the passenger accommodation "improvements."'
I didn't have a chance to test out the two-up I'm afraid.
I love the bikes , but Australian roads and speed limits are a big disappointment
Yep it's unfortunate really. There are some nice roads but they are increasingly having the limits lowered.
@@MotoJournoKris true
Another great review MJK. They are not the prettiest machines Kawasaki. Great bikes & priced well. But, when it comes to looks, it always in the eye of the beholder 😎
Exactly, as long as the owners are happy. Now when you get a bike no one wants to buy that's when you know to start looking at styling, specs or price!
Funny thing is I also didn't think it was that pretty, I much preferred the looks of the BMW R1250RS which I first intended to buy. After test riding both there was no doubt in my mind and I got the Kawa. And now the funny thing: I get compliments on its looks practically every time I am out on the roads in this motorcycle crazy country, which is France, and I am always surprised - and pleased, of course. It definitely looks better in real life than on pictures although I liked the way MJK made it look when he stood behind it and gave the review.
An aftermarket system doesn't just clear up in terms of beauty, but power and even more important, weight. Akro claims a 9.6kg weight savings for the full exhaust system, which means you go down to about 225 wet, and I believe something like 215 without panniers. Thats a 4.5~% weight savings, quite significant!
Very true, as much as I love the sound of the aftermarket exhausts, I tend to think the big performance benefit is actually weight saved rather than power or torque, unless you get it professionally tuned. Plus that's a LOT of weight as you note, there's not many places you can remove that much, that easily.
Great review. I would definitely give this bike a look over. Thanks for your in depth review.
Bought this bike in March and absolutely love it. The only thing which I will change is the exhaust. Would like a full exhaust system but not sure which system is available with the ability to change fuel management ECU.
Seems to be a lot of slip-ons but less full systems available, I bet it would howl with a nice exhaust though.
Sport Tourer bike on the rise. I hope that you were be able to review the newly released Suzuki GSX-S 1000GT, a perfect rival to that one.
Yep that looks wicked, I just did a video on the info they've released - th-cam.com/video/o3EWxOSmzkA/w-d-xo.html. Should be cool to see how it stacks up against the Kawasaki.
Kris, thanks for the detailed review. The ergonomics video was informative on as well. Does this bike feel heavy in slow speeds & stop and go traffic? How is the heat dissipation? Do you feel your body weight on the wrists given its rider triangle? Sorry for the many questions. Thx
I was actually really surprised how light the bike felt at very slow crawling speeds, it's very easy to maneuver like that. I didn't find heat an issue, but ideally I'd like to test in summer and get stuck in traffic as a really harsh test, as that tends to be where you'll notice it. I found the seating position quite relaxed, as those bars are on risers which lift them up quite a way. Most of your weight is through the seat and pegs.
I have one, love it! Added the touring windsheild for more wind protection. Don't like the look of the muffler tho.
It could definitely do with something a big smaller and more integrated to the look of the bike in that muffler department.
Hi I took the same model and year for a test ride and the TFT screen went black wtf, truly worrying when your screen full of information fails, the bike shop said a connection must be loose. I'm an old fart this has never happened to me, I miss dials.
All in all a great bike
That is a bit of a worry. One thing about all the electronics these days is more to go wrong.
Definitely planning a bike purchase and looking at the R 1250, Yamaha MT10 tourer, or this. Though I’m concerned that this and the Yamaha may be a bit too sporty. I do love the ability of my bike being able to leave the pavement and go into the dirt. I need to go on some test rides!
The Ninja 1000 is a more definitely touring orientated than the MT-10, while still being fairly sporty, where the R 1250 has a bit more of the adventure-touring ergonomic to it, so a bit more relaxed as far as the seating position. The R 1250 definitely has the edge if you like exploring the dirt when the occasion arises, although if it's just unsealed roads you can probably get away with any of the three, it's just nice to feel a bit more motivated to explore on a bike you know is a little more suited to it.
@@MotoJournoKris Makes perfect sense and helps out a lot Kris, thanks!
Get the R1250 buddy ....🙌
You've got my subscription 👍👍👍
Cheers! Thanks for watching.
Yamaha Tracer 9GT have KYB semi suspension and cornering light and is lighter, but Kawasaki have stronger engine and side cases 56L(2x28) - Yamaha only 40L (2x20). Both are great for sport touring.
Yep that new Tracer 9 GT is a big step up for that model line in many ways.
@@MotoJournoKris but the Ninja will last a lifetime, the Tracer may last a tour before it starts to fall apart.
Great review. Thank you. I'm considering purchasing this bike (haven't gone as far as taking a look at a dealership yet / taking it for a test ride). May I ask how tall you are? And whether you were able to put your feet flat on the ground? I'm 172cm, but the seat looks quite high.
Definitely, I'm 180 cm and a 32 inch inseam for reference. I've got an ergo/rider fit video up too that has a little more detail: th-cam.com/video/diLAkq6Ayu8/w-d-xo.html
@@MotoJournoKris Thanks so much
I really like this bike!
this motorcycle is my dream bike! oh by the way is this ride by wire?
Do you recommend this bike for 50 yo new biker ? My concern is the weight, maybe shouldn't be a concern. What do you think?
I always recommend going something smaller and lighter if it's your very first bike, as I think it can be a little more forgiving which makes learning easier, safer and hopefully more fun. Being older helps with the maturity of not doing as many of the silly things that seem such a good idea as a teenager, but a bigger and heavier bike is a bit more of a handful, plus there's heaps of power there!
Will it be your very first bike, or have you spent some time on some smaller machines to get your license?
@@MotoJournoKris Thanks for your this quick answer. Nop very first bike not yet purchased btw. I learned on a JPZ500 in 1996, and never get the chance to ride after that, then redo my licence on a CB500R. My son did it's licence too and we planned to purchase the CBR650R for him first and me for some time until I buy mine (because it's a 4 cylinder and a very nice sound, I like the Ninja 650 but only 2 cylinder and very lawnmower noise which I dislike). Unless there is something to do to remove this horrible sound. So that's why I'm looking for the 1000SX. I'm very comfortable on a 192Kg bike, but 235kg I hesitate.
@@toldenfr Yep sadly the parallel twins don't sound anywhere near as good as a four, you can chuck on an exhaust but it probably won't ever match up, if you really line the tone of a four. If you've got that experience under your belt and are happy riding the lighter bike you should be ok. These tourers are very well balanced, and certainly the weight disappears once you're moving. I wouldn't have said they were any more challenging than the 200 kg superbikes if I'm honest, if anything the upright seating position helps there. If you take it easy and are just mindful of the weight when you first get the bike, I don't think it should be a problem.
@@MotoJournoKris Yes I plan to use the rain mode for the first year or the time for me to handle the weight and practice at slow speed.
Good review! But why the heck are just using third or fourth gear? It had been interesting to see the rpm/speed relationship, because that is something that the bike been criticized for. Cheers ☺️
I normally try and pick a bit of interesting road to include, but I'll keep in mind to look into that more deeply for the tourers and sports tourers in future.
Great review Kris 👍
Waiting KLR 650 Gen3 test from you 🤝🇳🇿
Can't wait to get my hands on one!
Great review mate, I want to upgrade my Street Triple R yet I love the light weight and flickable handling, should I be concerned of the extra weight? You can't have it all u guess.
There's always a trade-off, unless you can figure out how to own both! Probably just depends on the type of riding you're doing I guess.
Im doing the same thing, same bikes in and out. I figured i can always get another street in a few years if/when i can have both bikes. They both have so many pluses going for them.
Like always very good review. The only downside from my point of view of this bike is the centerstand. They should include it into the package.
Yep that would be a great standard inclusion. I'm not sure with the big exhaust collector if one would fit though!
@@MotoJournoKris Centre stand won’t fit. Can’t fit panniers and a top box either. One or the other according to Kawasaki. Upsets the bike too much apparently. On a tourer - go figure!
@@smtsslt7468 I've seen people mention it can overload the subframe, or cause sheared off bolts, although people still seemed to do it on the older versions. Luggage weight limits are normally so low, I can also see people way overloading them too.
I agree, it would have been nice, but with that big box and the low clearance it has already, no way a centre stand will fit.
please do create a sound check, perhaps let us hear the sound of the motor
Great review. It would be cool to see review for new Tracer 9 GT, cuz I'm flipping myself between these two...so, I'd like to hear a bit of comparison from someone who tried them...thank you, and job well done
I'm looking forward to checking out the Tracer 9 GT, I'll have to check if they've arrived yet, I think they were originally slated for April. Will definitely see if I can put together a comparison vid.
I had been riding my 2016 Tracer up until a week ago. I bought the 1000sx and i can say there is no comparison. The SX makes my old Tracer feel like a tractor. I mostly liked the old girl, however the SX is the nicest all round bike i have ridden.
@@concernedcitizen5506 Wicked, is that mainly from the handling perspective?
@@MotoJournoKris pretty much everything. The MT has more low torque but it just doesn’t tip into corners as fluently. Whilst the MT was always a bit of a wrestling match the sx just does it easier. The MT never gave me a real safe feel when pushed in the mountains. I feel i have way more control over the SX as it so much easier to ride.
I want to ad that your review was pretty accurate. Keep up the good work.
Nice and helpful video. Thanks for sharing.
What's the difference between the 2020 and the 2021 version of this bike?
Good question, from what I understand the big update was 2020, so this is essentially just the 2021 version of the same generation bike. That may mean different colour options depend on the market.
Rubber brake line swap out is an easy upgrade
Hi looking to pick this bike up next Saturday only thing I am worried about is seat hight I am only a 29 inch inside leg what do you think as you only said about sitting on bike not foot on floor cheers for doing the review loved it
Gaz
There is a low seat option which you could try
You probably won't get both feet down flat, but I'd have thought most of one foot down should be possible. The low seat option Nick mentioned may be worth a look at though!
Great review chris! Wondering how it goes in heavy day to day traffic, aka commuting?
I didn't get really really bad crawling traffic, but for regular traffic I was impressed how well it handled. The weight of the bike wasn't even something I thought about and the fueling and brakes made it easy, even just rolling along at very low speeds, or needing to start and stop. A lot of the tourers do that well, but you still know you're on a big tourer, where I didn't feel like I was on a big bike on the Ninja 1000.
She goes very well, and I know because I live in Paris and it doesn't get much worse than that (maybe in Mumbai and places like that ...). Also the mirrors fold in completely and very easily, so if you're not carrying the panniers and like to split lanes, then just go ahead and do it.
Very nice and fair review despite a bit of repetition (sorry, had to get that in) so "thumbs up".
I have now done around 10 thousand kilometers on my own and I have to add, that this bike is a bit of a Jekyll/Hyde bike. Like you said, when you ride her like a sane person would, treating her as a tourer/commuter, and keeping the revs under 6000, she is sweet and treats you gently, giving you lots of confidence. But when you start running the gears out from there and towards the limit range she becomes an intercontinental ballistic missile, and you better lean forward, duck down and hold on tight.
I find the brakes very confidence inspiring also when you go fast into a curve and find the radius becoming smaller than you thought it would; the front brake is very progressive in its bite. Some call that "soggy" I think its better than the immediate hard bite that you get on certain bikes.
The display has a sport setting (shows lean angle etc.) which I never use and I have also never used the Kawasaki Ridology app, I think Kawasaki should leave that kind of stuff to BMW Tractor riders ... ;o)
PS: On my channel I have a couple of videos from a tour I did in Spain and Portugal when she was brand new (mine is called "Ziggy")
Yep sorry about that, got a interrupted midway through and ended up really going over things multiple times!
I think that's a nice way to tune these bikes too, makes them more accessible for everyday use and I think the same way about the brakes. The most powerful brakes with crazy bite aren't necessarily the ones I'm going to enjoy using the most, especially on the road.
I liked seeing the app and being able to sit and go through settings next to the bike while having a coffee the first time I tested one with it, but I do think most of these bikes can do without, unless you've got electronics which have so many settings you need to refer to the manual for them. Obviously some riders really like that kind of thing, but I prefer the systems where a few button pushes and you're set.
I'll check out your vids!
i am on the fence between fully black and this one from the video :D
Hard choice, the green is very traditional for a Kawa, but they look pretty rad in all black!
That front face design is more suitable for the 2021 zx10r.
I’m kinda glad that the zx10r doesn’t have it, I think the front is really ugly.
@@gangsta_pigeon8023 the current one on zx10r is more ugly
@@domc9026 I disagree, the one on the 1000sx is way too vertical.
Great review. Totally interested in this bike
I'm 5'8 " so I'm wondering how I'd fit on the bike. How tall are you? Is a centre stand fitted or an option? Sintered pads improve the grip? Mirrors good. I've been looking at a Ducati 950 SS on which the mirrors are useless. Top box and tank bag would do me for most uses. Used to own a GPZ1100 B2 with fuel injection. Loved watching the blocks on the fuel guage disappear rapidly.
I'm 180 cm and a 32 inch inseam for comparison. Not sure about the centre-stand, not that I've seen from the Kawasaki accessories. A pad swap might be an idea if you want more bite. On the bright side the mileage seemed very good on this.
I am 1.72 mtrs and the bike fits well. I get both feet on the ground, although only with the balls of my feet, I can't get them flat on the ground, but still very stable. (With the standard seat. A lower seat is available). There is no centre stand, neither as an option. The 1000SX is prepared for panniers and a top box, that enables you to take them on and off easily. But I think they're (too) expensive.
@@albertlay8927 Yep that luggage is a little eye watering on price. The topbox less so, but the panniers... I thought the colour matched panels was the price per pannier to start with and thought it wasn't too bad, then realised my mistake! I guess being the only thing to fit the integrated mounting system they can price them a little less competitively.
Super , asia, built , great motorbikes .for roads running .racing circuits .and touring .custom made .
Some of those are applicable.
Biggest issue with this bike is, you cant find one to buy.
That's a big challenge with a lot of models unfortunately...
I hear you on that one Brother...went to few dealerships...on some of them..you just notice maybe 1 or two bikes on the show room floor...Guess Pandemic..had an effect on inventory as well:)...
How about that notorious engine buzzing at above 5-6k hwy riding? I owned a 2014 model and very familiar with that. I also know that it was never corrected til the recent 2020 models and buzzing was still there..
I didn't notice it, but I also didn't spend a huge amount of time on the highway, so I'm not sure to be honest.
@@MotoJournoKris This guy JRDblahblahblah., writes the same comment on a lot of threads, it's as if he is a paid troll trying to discredit the bike. I have already said a couple of times that he was talking nonsense.
ive been looking at this bike and expected it to cost a few 1000 more then it does what gives ?
The Ninja 1000s have always been pretty focused on value and as an 'every-riders' kind of machine, but I guess it also depends where you're coming from and what you compare it too!
Would you drive it around Australia?
Definitely as long as I was looking at a route mainly on tarmac and only with the occasional unsealed but well graded road. Otherwise the adventurer tourers start to become more attractive, if you're thinking lots of gravel or exploring down fire trails or similar style roads to go cross country.
It's a beauty of a bike and it's a great value if you want to look at it like that. Or it's a Ninja, go ride
Between this and the MT10 which would you pick? I own a Tracer 900 GT looking to add another to the stable.
That's a hard one, as while you could definitely tour on an MT-10 (with the right mods making that more comfortable), I think the emphasis is more on the crazy hyper-naked style machine. The Ninja 1000 though is straight up sport touring, probably more similar to the Tracer 900 GT in many ways. If you wanted something different to the Tracer I'd say the MT-10.
I traded in a tracer GT for this bike and I feel like he was an excellent decision.
@@Cooper2007ish How did you find the two compared?
@@MotoJournoKris The Gt was a slightly better touring bike, but the SX is a much better overall bike. It can tour with the Harleys on Friday, eat 600's and 1000's at the track on Saturday, then take the wife to lunch after church on Sunday.
@@Cooper2007ish Interesting! I was wondering how the two stacked up.
Don't even get to hear it or see test ride?
There's onboard footage, unfortunately the onboard audio is mainly wind-noise, so there wasn't much point retaining it.
Looks like you have potential as a reviewer. However, the video is not very informative.
This or mt09?
Tracer or the standard MT-09? I'd say the MT-09 is far more the hoon bike, and priced really competitively.
The Ninja 1000 is much more an everyday tourer, if you're thinking long trips or lots of two up. It's a closer comparison if you're talking the Tracer.
Exhaust is not for me.
Would definitely look nice with an aftermarket system.
That exhaust is not for anyone. Its hideous.
Fok. Please take my money. 🤤
