Cool bike! I've had a couple of Kawasaki's in my time. Really fun bikes! Thanks Roley.
They are indeed and Kawasaki make a quality product with good engineering as in there entire history they have never made a failed bike.
Great review. I just got one in July, I love it.
@@clayharrison8889 they are a nice bike indeed
My brother had one. It was his last bike before he passed away. We did a week away on the Isle of Wight on it. He had the panniers on his. It was a brilliant bike. But we are talking a few years ago now.
Sorry about your brother man, what did he pass form?..... Yeah these 1000SX bikes are a good beast very light and down on power to what I am use to and good fun to ride....keep well buddy.
@@rolandkeith5322 Thanks Roland. He had stage 4 stomach cancer. Had a look at the pictures earlier. He had a 2015 one from new.
Awesome bike review ❤love it, happy new year
Happy new year to you and the family as well....thanks for the comment too....keep safe.
Yes it is a very very good bike. I had the Z1000SX 2014 (50.000km) and since 2 years I am riding the Ninja 1000SX (17.000km).
Best Sporttouring bike in the world! 👌
Especially the engine is perfect for touring. 💪 You can ride in the city in the 6. Gear ⚙️ without any problems. Also in the Mountain it is so smooth to ride it.
Thanks for stopping by and yes indeed they are a top all round bike that is a quality build. I was surprised that the 1000 was as smooth as the ZX14-R. Keep well and stay safe.
Good work Mate so I brought all these thumbs ups for ya algorithms 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🦾😝
Legend!buddy thanks
Great review sharing 👍🏻 superb model Kawasaki 👍🏻
Thank you 👍 and stay safe :-)
Looks and sounds like a real nice ride, great review man makes me want to go ride one 😁 take it easy dude!
Yeah if you get a chance try one out, I found it to be a fun bike to ride that does everything very well. keep safe :-)
Hey Roley nice review thank's for the ride 😄👍
Thank's Lori this one is my nephews bike how lives out in the country. He drops it off to me here in town for servicing so take the bike to get it done for him and when he has the time he picks it up form me and takes it back to his place.....hope to catch you soon.
Just got a 2023 last week an took a 2 hour ride home i found it very comfortable and i just had spinal surgery a few months ago! I agree about the mirrors i have bene struggling to adjust them to see as much as possible.
That's good then, and in the video I did say for me the seat felt harsh, but for anyone else? who knows. Buddy one of my bikes is a ZX14R and in comparison ,on the 1000 it feels like I am sitting on a rock with not much in the way of suspension or power. In fact after some long term usage the SX 1000 feel like a cheap bike in some way. It's okay but far form brilliant.
Your back feeling okay is more than likely due to the "Ergonomics" as I as well have had some work done on my back, but that's some years ago now.
All up if you like the bike and it seems good for you then it was a good choice that you made for you.
@@rolandkeith5322 Thanks for the reply! I do not do long rides 2 hours is alot for me. I am also 265 lbs so maybe i crush the padding lol. I flashed my ECU you would not recognize the power with flashed ecu completely different throttle response. So factory limited its sad for a "sport bike"
Really nice looking bike in that colour. and the instrument cluster is really nice. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the bike. Cheers
Solid assessment covering all major aspects. Very good audio during the ride ,almost no wind noise .Is that recorded through the new gopro or a separate
Mic/recorder setup?
The audio is all done with a H1n Zoom and a lapel mic clipped either in my helmet or on a T-shirt depending on what I am doing. I found this to be the easiest way to get the best audio I can....I have always issues using a cam's mic input as they have a auto gain deal going on that is never correct in the way they work...On the Zoom I pre-set the levels and they are locked in and somehow this helps with wind noise.
Amazing machine for speed! Somebody at my work had one in green! Not something I could ride!
I am a believer of, If you can ride a bike then you can ride any bike. Power wise it all comes down to the wrist and how much you twist it. The 1000cc's and up bikes are a pleasure to ride because the power they have makes for a lazy relaxed ride. Mind you this 1000 SX is 110 horse power down on what I normally ride so to me this bike felt somewhat lifeless in the
acceleration department but for what it is, its good....stay safe buddy till the next time.
@@rolandkeith5322 I mean because of my back roland but yeah i see what your saying
Great video my man
Thanks heaps I just called it as it was or how it seemed to me
Might need to look into that bike as my replacement. I can almost ride my W800 Cafe, but the Concours is a bit to heavy with out my left quads.
I know about the W800 Cafe but never seen one in the flesh but very cool looking bike though I think. And yeah this 1000SX is how I called it very light feeling bike lighter than a 600cc bike excellent power and brakes very good ergonomically designed but for my butt the seat was like a rock, but that can be changed or sorted out very quickly. Thanks again buddy and keep in touch.
👍🖖😎 Schweet Bike Roly , Stay safe brother
Thanks buddy and you keep well :-)
considered a touring bike huh? thats kinda crazy. Looks awesome though. enough power for fun and long trips.
It is a fun bike to ride but around 110hp down on what I am use to with my ZX 14-R. And nar man I am not considered a touring bike just yet this one is my nephews and he dropped if off for it's first service as he lives out in the country so I take it to get done for him and he will pick it up when it is finished.
I think the torque on this bike is 111.17707 Newton-Meter.
I totally agree with you about the mirrors - just can't see what's behind you. So I've purchased some Rizoma bar-ends so hope they work well when I get my bike back on the road in the Spring.
I replaced rider seat with one from Sargent which is good.
I'm 6'2" so also installed touring screen.
You get an awful lot of bike for the price with the Ninja 1000sx especially compared to some of the European sports tourers (eg speced up BMW S1000XR over £20k).
Dyno runs best out of three from in info I got was the torque numbers and HP on the back wheel.
Yeah I found it a good bike to ride a long distance on apart from the seat & mirrors. The bike is a fair bit down on power to what I ride all of the time like around 110 hp, but with that in mind the power the 1000 sx makes is good for the task is was designed for. But the 1000SX is a nice and fun bike to ride with a good braking system that is sharp even at high speeds they work very well.
I am coming over to AUZZ in a couple of months....how far are you from Brisbane ?
Hi Paul man that is cool your coming our way is that for a holiday???.... And Brisbane to Adelaide by road distance is 1258 miles or 2024.555 Kilometers mate so we are just down the road so to say. As I am in Adelaide South Australia and I live in the southern side of the city ( the up market side ) ....A direct flight no stops will take 2 hours and 20 mins but normally with stops 4:30 hours. So a visit may be out of the question however if you make it here I welcome a visit buddy.keep in touch.
So I loved this bike until I saw the display on the 1000 Suzuki touring, and now I love this bike but love the display 100 time more on the Suzuki lol, why has it taken so long for all those features to show on a bike?
Thanks for the VID I'm still getting this one lol
Hey there and thanks for the comment. A good bike should hit some markers to make it a good bike, How it turns, stops, and preforms plus comfort and road lighting. A device to tell you you’re speed, fuel and distance is very low on the list of, does a cluster make it a bike good? And the why this is so? because no mega display no matter how good it is won’t change the things that make a good bike good.
Such a beautiful bike
Can i move in to your garage Rolie?!!
Hey buddy welcome to the channel and ....hahahhaha you mean my toy box. Thanks heaps for the comment and keep safe.
*꧁ Изумление 💙 Благодарю 👌 Хорошее видео.. 👍 Всё Супер 👍 ꧂*
Чем вы, я рад, что вам понравилось это видео.
Будьте здоровы и берегите себя.
Hey whats up! Nice bike.
Howdy how can I help you
All I can see is that lovely red ZZR mate....
Hahah yeah the 1000 is nice but not as nice as the 14 by a long way on the comfort department I tell ya.
I need one of those 😁
well it is just as I said it is... I found it to be a fun and light bike to ride that one could travel on no problems apart form the seat but that's an easy fix.
Trick on the seat place a couple 10 lbs weights on it to break it in. A week or so take them off and much better.
Worth a try and thanks for the tip
I'm wondering how old the bike is? I have a 2022 model now with 5000km and the seat is really comfortable and I've done five hour stints on it. I seem to remember it took a couple of thousand km to "soften". Either that or the model changed foam density??
This SX is a 22 model as well it's done 2000k's I get what you are saying about it been new as that makes a very slight difference however compared to some other makes in the same class and even to my ZX 14-R the 1000 sx seat could be far better and definitely for my butt. But that's my real only complaint on this model the rest of the bike I class it as a very nice bike to ride as it feel very light and it stops very well with good composure. The power delivery is fine for its class and a all up fun bike to ride...thanks for the comment and ride safe.
this bike is rated about 125 rear wheel horsepower on the dyne, just curious what you ride thats 110 HP over that or 235 HP rear wheel on the dyno. Unless your on a turbo H2 or Busa'
The Red bike at the start of the video behind me it is a ZX 14-R that has been flashed and tuned and puts out 231.997 HP or 173 Kw
And when your starting point is 204 HP on the ZX 14-R's getting that amount more is not really that much.
Would me a great Sport Tourer bike
Yeah buddy it really is how I said it!
Yes MATE ☝
Also,..wise, move blacking out the speedo when feeding it the "beans"
Yeah I did miss one small blast lol but that bike is pretty tame anyway as it is 110hp down on what I am use to riding with my ZX 14R in fact my M109-R would out do this 1000 SX. But it's a good fun bike to ride and to me it is a light bike to use as well.
what year model is it ?
2012 this bike is.
so its a little like a Harley? Need to change the seat lol. Id get a Slip on at least for it. nothing over the top just a bit more burble
Yeah a Slip on would be good on it, and LoL Harley seat change deal yeah indeed as the seat is like sitting on a plank of wood. I think I am spoilt the 14's seat is one of the best I have ever sat in for comfort but then again the two bike had a very different price point.
Superb model 💓 new subs 692 Stay connected
Thank you and welcome to the channel. Keep safe my new friend.
Tell me more about the seat 😂
wow, I repeated my self enough for the idiots but this is next level 🙂
@@rolandkeith5322great bike tho I own it as well.
@@jaydee1386 it is indeedI
The mirrors are just too far from the rider.
for me they are okay not fantastic at all but okay.
@@rolandkeith5322 I agree with you. The video mentions that the mirrors are too small. They are a decent size for a motorcycle mirror, but they are a bit small because they are so far from your eyes. But a little small is much better than a mirror that shakes too much or is mostly an image of the riders elbows.
