Would you buy the Ninja 1000SX as your first superbike over bikes like the Triumph Speed Twin, Ducati Scrambler 1100 and the Harley Davidson Forty-Eight? Do let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
As a happy owner of INT650, I am still falling in love with Ninja 1000SX.. though it is a different segment all together still it is attracting an old mid-range rider like me 🤩🙏
I also have INT650 and love it. The only thing that puts me off on 1000SX is my height which is 5.7". I think having feet planted is important. This bike is good for people over 5.9" and above. Sadly, not for me. :)
My dad bought this as his second bike. The other one he has is the int650. He is 60 years old and 5.6 in height. We just had to change the soles of his RE shoes and he's good to go. The bike is comfortable, just like a ninja can sneak up on you if you twist the throttle the power is there but the rider aides work flawlessly. The service is cheap when compared to other motorcycles in the segment. It's mileage is great wether you're hooning or being a gentleman from 17-22kmpl on regular fuel and a little more on premium fuel. It's just perfect tbh. If you're considering one and aren't fussed about the looks, just get it.
61 years old and this fits me perfectly. The review is excellent and honest. Great grunt and smooth power. The ride i explain to my wife as Cadillac like. 44 years riding experience and i have owned a few bikes. If i was 21 would i buy this no I would get a real Superbike. For the middle of the road , quick nice handling and smooth ride it is amazing. I need the bigger windshield. I also need a little storage bag for the back seat I guess .
You are absolutely rights, it's the one perfect Superbike in India, i have ridden one, it's really powerfull, smooth as butter on a hot pan and comfy for your 1000km rides.
on my SX 2020, i installed the larger version windshield that Kawasaki offers and works better but still not exempt of wind blast. i also installed factory heated grips which are slightly smaller in diameters and that was disappointing... and i have also the side hard cases which complement the Ninja like i was dreaming of. its the perfect bike for me. i also changed the saddle for a Sargent. The original seat is not great for several hours ride and the angle was too much leaning toward the front which aggravate the discomfort after longer time seating. but damn the fun that motorcycle brings !!! the 140 hp is well chosen and you can reach 200 kmh in matter of seconds anytime you want.
@@Rj_xxiv the wind hits your shoulders at all time and the seat leans forward. So if you want long ride confort i rather go with Multistrada style of ride. This summer ill get the gel seat option that offers Kawasaki. if that still not comfy enough, il go Ducati.
@@Rj_xxiv my worst of all was my ninja 250r, the seat was aweful, and my very best bike i had for butt comfort were Harley Night Rod special and Road King. I had a versy 650 and KTM Duke 390 and 990 adv and all were ok. im 6ft 150lbs.
I bought mine in 2019 Ninja 1000 ( new). Rode it for 2900 Km. Sold it last month. Living in the Darjeeling hills I had a few issues . Namely the very bulky and heavy stance that made it difficult park the bike on the narrow hills parking. The other issue was the low ground clearance.
@@nielszwering2414 Good Joke, I bought it 4 months back and had to decat the system to be able to ride it in the city. The stock ground clearance sucks bad
@@aryamanpriya5202 yeah i get that. In the Netherlands or Germany its never really a problem but maybe in other countries it could for sure. Maybe try a sporty adventure bike then? Although i get the wish for something sporty and very good ridebillity
Thanks Vikrant for sharing this wonderful review 👍 The sales of this SX1000 is almost double that of Versys 1000 which I had in my mind, but booking is not open for Versys 1000 also no TFT on it. Is SX1000 top heavy like Versys? Your review made me consider SX1000 now, appreciate your answers. Thanks
I upgraded to 1000SX from Versys 650...coming to your question, 1000SX weight distribution is more lower compared to Versys and low seat height give more confidence too. Go for versys if you want a very comfortable long tourer but it's more heavy which will be gruesome in city traffic. 1000SX is more sporty and comes with quickshifter which add more fun and still you can do 500+ kms on it without much trouble.
@@veeraraghavansafety Thanks so much for your quick reply. The Versys 1K is top heavy & my friend too purchased a SX1000, I felt the same too and the results on sales is also indicating SX1000 selling double of Versys. It narrows down to SX1000 anytime 👍
Buyers Beware: This motorbike has balance related design flaw (drifts to the right due to heavy exhaust). That is why the previous generation Ninja 1000 had dual side exhaust(equal weight distribution on both sides). Unfortunately, Kawasaki san is not willing to solve the issue! They are in denial. So, Isn’t as perfect as typically one would expect from a Japanese Company. If you are willing to ignore this flaw & perfect balance doesn’t matter to you, it is a great motorbike & an excellent package!
10:04 They do have alternative screens available. The one you got is stock ofc, but there is a bigger version, clear and smoke. Is more of the design of the screen that was on the 2019 model. That does make a difference in wind reduction imo.
What about ground clearance for this bike, Sir? I believe the Ninja 300 has low ground clearance which is a bane to tackle the monstrous speed bumps in India
135 mm. Ground clearance sucks. It will bash a lot of speed breakers. Many are unmarked and difficult to spot sometimes.. They bend alloy wheels too ..
Have not faced ground clearance issue while riding solo..but with pillion, big catalytic converter box scraps even small speed bumps...Only solution to this problem is changing stock headers and decat it...now my bike feels lighter and clearance improved...but overall Ninja 1000 is great VFM bike and a gentleman's superbike...
I sold mine last month due to the ground clearance issues . Bought a new one in 2019 rode it for 2900 Km and sold last month. Very difficult to ignore the bad roads here and the bike scrapes all the huge humps.
12:36 rightly said, firstly one should be having a car and going to office, secondly one should be rich enough to have this along in the garage, and then ....one can have a good time rolling
I'm still having an issue with reviews of the SX and Suzuki GT regarding the foot peg position. I'm pretty damned sure that the bend in your leg will NOT be comfortable after a relatively short period of time. Anyone find lowering pegs out there for either? One of these needs to be in my garage - but not with that ergo problem.
i owned the ninja 1k for 2 years a regretful sale, i'm 6 '4 and never felt cramped or sore after a couple hours riding. Any longer you made need a rest stop but overall very comfortable.
Hi Therese. Just did 5300 km from Switzerland to Spain and back in 15 days. No Problems in any Part of the body. I am 1,79 m and 59 years. Love that bike. Greetings
Yes very much so. All the other options are expensive and have higher running and service costs or are devoid of all the necessary rider aides that a novice might need when upgrading to a 100hp plus motorcycle.
Man I wish I would have done more research before buying my Africa Twin. I think a sport touring bike is more my cup of tea. I don’t like how big and heavy the Twin is and I can almost flat foot it. Even with the lower seat setting and a slimmer seat. With this I definitely could flat foot and doesn’t seem like it would be so annoying at stop and go traffic.
I don't think it's that powerful to be honest. If anyone is coming from a 170hp+ literbike this actually feels a bit underwhelming. Additionally, this bike is not meant for high speed cornering. It's not particularly aerodynamic and at 200kmh+ you feel that cornering is not that good. Still, it's a great all rounder and a great machine. Calling it a superbike is more of a clickbait.
Actually this isn’t a bike to corner at 200kmph+…. And for a person who comes from a superbike riding history, obviously this bike is going to be a slow for their standards…. And this is a fast tourer from it’s heart so expecting too much of an SBK-ish expectation, it will surely disappoint because this bike isn’t meant for that kind of track riding…. And for this price point for a super tourer, this is fine for where it is completely focused on …. No offences by the way…. Happy riding 🤷♂️👍
Hey kiddo do you know what i thought that you should concentrate on your studies rather than games cuz i know some kids like you who says that ferrari is the slowest car Cuz they never seen a real one in thier life they just played in video games and think they knows the experience And giving knowledge like they are the professional track riders who knows dyno runs cornering etc like those wsbk MotoGP riders knows But in reality all your knowledge you gain from UA-cam comments section is only good for debates You can't even win with a MotoGP bike even if a experienced one use his 600 or lower cc SportsBike
Good review, but you actually missed the only major con (Ground clearance). Rest the Ninja 1000SX is an outstanding bike! Actually all the other Cons mentioned are not deal breakers.
Have one and an MT10. Going fast and cornering absolutely only one winner if you like to bend swing. Ninja much better if you love distance. MT10 has sweeter parts (less steel more aluminium)
And all I need in my life is to be your apprentice to move forward riding on bikes instead of riding on thoughts, trying since since 2012 launch year of 1st grand prix at budhh international circuit but to no avail. Probably my screams aren't loud enough to bypaas the exhaust notes of motorcycles you always ride
They're bloody good. The tyres that it comes with are Bridgestone battlax. It has 4 piston callipers on both the front disks and I this it's a twin pot on the rear. Solid braking assist systems make it a very sure footed experience overall
At six one one, do you think I would be comfortable on the sx? I also weigh 285. I just left my kawasaki dealer where I did get to sit on a 2023. First two things I noticed were I was right up on the tank. Next was I thought the seat was quite hard.
i ride street triple RS , planning to pick Busa but Ninja1000 also looks good considering price . My main usage is Weekend Sunday ride only , Touring may be in future but never done till now. i want to pick something but missing street triple RS fun element , Any suggestions.
This may not be the bike for you since it's not as sharp as the street tripple series and since you ride the RS I am certain this will dissapoint you in the way it handles, perhaps look at the Ducati line-up or the zx-10r
@@SohilSahare009, You are correct , i bought tiger 800 but sold it quickly as it was missing the RS fun element, 10r and panigale are too demanding for my body type as I am on a heavier side.
11:14 “… and that happens with an aggressive sporty design, which the Ninja 1000 doesn’t have.” Are you smoking crack? Maybe you had your eyes closed. That bike is one sexy machine.
It is not possible to flat foot. My dad is 5.6. This is his touring motorcycle, all he's done is got new taller soles (about 3/4th inch) put on his RE riding shoes and he can now flat foot the bike.
@motoringscribe haven't seen you riding the balls out of a bike that very often; ofcourse it's got to do with the bike, and that was a delight. I'm well aware that Kawi competes in WSBK (that too is being ruled by Ducati these days), but buying a 'sports bike' having not that much of a racing pedigree would be a pass for me.
