I think they did good with the seat removal design , no tools needed ! First bike I’ve had where I don’t have to remove any fairings for a oil change !!
The wife didn't look too happy when you signed the papers. Hahaha. Anyway, I like the look of the new Ninja..... .some don't like the frontend but, they don't know style. :) That bike has a lot of untapped horsepower, get an ECU flash.
Hey Tony, yeah she is never happy when I'm spending money!! LOL shhhh dont tell her I said that! The more I look at this bike the more I like the styling of it. I know its not for everyone but I dig it. Believe me as soon as they crack the ECU I'll be sending it in. In a million years I'll never have the nuts to drive this bike to its potential but I love that it has all that power and I'll push it a bit when I have gathered some courage :) thank you for the comment and for stopping by!
I had exactly the same progression that you. Went from a 2016 650, to a 2018 1000 to a 21 zx10 that I bought last week. Keep the good videos coming, and keep sharing your thoughts about it. Ride safe
Thanks so much Alpha Bro! Its coming along and I am having fun just finding getting used to this bike a bit challenging at the moment. I've really enjoyed being able to experience these bikes and sharing that experience with all of you. I realize that not everyone has the flexibility that I do and hopefully these vids keep the dream alive for someone wanting something in this class of bike. thank you thank you for the grats!
I agree, the color scheme on the Kawasaki greens are something that you're not going to be wild about. The KRT looks like the skittles green apple. But you can't deny, when you see those colors, you know it's a Kawasaki. Still, though I'm a lover of naked and sportbikes... THAT GOLDWING THOUGH
yeah with my wife's 636 being orange and now my lime green machine there will be no missing us coming down the road!! It does grow on you though! My Goldwing is solid and I intend to give it a little love on the channel this summer. Excellent grocery getter ha-ha!! But seriously I love all the bikes we have. So much fun. thanks for the comment and for stopping by!!
I have the same bike, 2018 Kawasaki Z1000SX/Ninja 1000. Same color and everything😁. Such a good bike to ride. You'll never regret getting a Z1000SX/Ninja 1000. But there are more fun bikes out there. I just came in from a 5 hour ride with a buddy on a ZX10R, and his daughter on a Z400. 🏍💨🏍💨🏍💨. That ZX10R is one sexy bike. I want one so bad, but i'll have to manage with my Ninja 1000 for the moment😅. Congrats on a new bike! There ids few feelings as good as a brand new bike💖. I've had that feeling twice. First on a 2019 Yamaha MT-09 in 2019 and again with a 2018 Ninja 1000 in 2020 (it was a layover, so i got it 23% off full price), and i'd Love to have feel it again.
agree! there is no feeling like driving off the lot on a new bike...i'm an addict! Its just a good time in my life to be able to not only have a hobby that I can afford and still be mobile enough to be able to ride these bikes. I'm having the time of my life! Let me know when you pull the trigger on a new bike, that N1K will serve you well until then for sure. It was bitter-sweet to let her go. Take care!!!
Yeah I seriously considered the 2021 N1K since it has a lot of the corrections I was looking for with the updated dash, 4-2-1 exhaust, etc...AND...maybe I'll ultimately end up on another some day but I had to scratch the Super Sport itch. Its been something I've wanted since before my first sport bike and I talk about it every year. I'm done talking and I'm ready to see how I cope with all this power. So far...I really like it. Cheers Dee and thanks for stopping by!!
Hey! Nice to see you back! Good Luck with it. The dealer we visited had 2 of them. Pictures and video doesn't do it justice! It reaches out and grabs you. I was never a fan of the KRT additions or the green but it works very well on this bike. The front end is you! Star Wars all the way. The whole bike is you. Can't wait to see what you do with it! Till the next time, be safe.
Hey William!! was hoping you'd see this...always value your opinion! I do agree, the more i'm with it the more it grows on me and you are so correct, pictures do not do it justice! I've got lots of plans for this one so stay tuned! Take care!
yeah I'm looking forward to getting to know this bike more. I will say that this is not the slam dunk that the N1K and the 636 were. I do take issue with a few design points of this bike and I'll get to those soon. otherwise so far its got just amazing power when you ask for it and it is nimble as they come. i was excited to share this news with you!
couldn't have said it any better! so glad to hear from you! and thank you very much, I have a lot to learn about this new machine and I'm finding it quite different than any other bike I've ever owned. Take care!!
Great Zx10R Awesome,,,, Im getting same bike in LA, 👍🙏🏻 A few ideas, maybe get new custom ASV brake levers, bar ends & new brake reservoirs, many colors U will Love them,,, & another Amazing upgrade for 15% better stopping and a Cool look is Galfer Steel braided brake lines with multiple colors + U pick color of banjo bolts. (What an Amazing addition to the Brembo brakes. (No Fade or Flex Ever) Carbon fiber chain guard +++ also 2 Vortex sprockets & custom chain - you will save 3lbs & gain power, but the look is worth it, and a race rear brake rotor, only $105 + lighter and awesome looking. Ok i gotta stop gosh i could go on n on it So fun tricking bikes out, 😂. Enjoy it. ☝️😂 Wait, Don’t forget Sprint air filter, ecu flash & lithium battery 🔋 saves 6 lbs, 😂👍 Cheers 🍻 Keep sharing & Congrats, 🏍 🎉🏍
Congratulations!!! That 2021 looks sharp! Good luck with it and ride safe! Some years back, I owned a brand new 2014 ZX10R for just under 2 hours before fate intervened and took her away from me. Always make sure your backpack zippers are completely closed and your jacket liner doesn't slip out and end up in the rear brake rotar causing the rear wheel to lock up and eject you off at highway speeds. FYI, I also had a Ninja 1000 (2017 model) and sold it last year for a 2020 Z900, also a fantastic bike with forgiving ergonomics.
OMG CMBiker that sounds like a horribly scary thing to happen. Thanks now I'll have that in my mind every time I put on a backpack!!! The Z900 looks like a fun bike!!!
@@StormtrooperRides Luckily I only had a concussion, broken collarbone and AC joint. Full, proper gear made all the difference and a little luck having no cars/trucks behind me at the time. I had actually completely closed the zippers on my backpack, but it was fully stuffed and the zippers were closed at the top. Over the course of the ride back from the dealership, the wind and turbulence must have wiggled the zippers open enough to allow the jacket liner to escape. Now I keep the zippers completely closed to one side or the other and sometimes use wire ties to secure them.
yeah thanks Goobr! I suggest getting up close to one. videos and pictures really dont do it justice. It does grow on you and both my wife and I have stood and laughed several times because we keep on saying it. I'm not sure if we're trying to justify it in some way or if it really does grow on you. I've come to like it a lot now. You really get noticed on this bike!
I think I it's a fabulous colour . Kawasaki always did amazing colours combinations in my opinion and the colour of your bike is enough to buy it over anything else for me .
@@StormtrooperRides You're welcome and I look forward to seeing any changes you make. I'm in the UK and I've loved Kawasaki ever since they were rare and exotic here with the 2 stroke triples
Thank you Paul! sorry for the delayed response. I'm still getting used to it and for me this has not been the love affair I had with my 650 and N1K but I'm keeping an open mind. Its fun as hell to ride and I'm still getting used to a few things. thanks very much for the comment and for stopping by the channel!
Thank you Felipe! I'm still wrapping my head around this bike. It is so much different than what I'm used to. It is fun and very powerful but I have several issues with this bike. I'm still working through those! Appreciate the comment and support (even if it was late haha!). Take care!
Yeah I'll be derestricting it at some point but have no interest in a power commander. I know they haven't cracked this new ECU yet but I'm sure it'll happen in the next several months, I'll be keeping an eye on the forums and when it can be done I'll ship mine out.
Goddamn been following you since the 650 days... congrats! You're lucky as here in Montreal Canada, that type of bike (super sport/high risk) is $2000/year for the registration and we only get to ride it 4-5 months a year due to the weather.. I gotta be content with my $700/year registration..
aw Dan that sucks! this is the one area being old as dirt helps :) . My insurance over the Ninja 1000 only went up a few dollars and for whatever reason registering a bike of any size down here is pretty much the same. Hopefully one of these days they'll relax those restrictions on you guys up there. Thanks so much for sticking with my channel!! Much appreciated!
yeah i frequent that site and will reach out at some point. there are some carbon bits I'm interested in getting for this bike. thank you for pointing me in that direction!
Are you my long lost brother? Did the same thing, wanted the BMW S1000RR but couldn't swallow the price tag given how and where I ride. I was all about the the ZX14 or ZX10R KRT. The ZX10R KRT Spoke to me and kinda felt like the ZX14 was not an upgrade to be nimble. Riding position takes a little getting used to but damn does the power and gearing not make you forget all about a little less comfort? Hit me up at 3shotrocky@gmail.com if you wanna compare notes. Currently I ordered R&G Sliders, and a TST Ind integrated taillight with relay and fender eliminator... Next stop prolly just gonna do a slip on. I'm guessing your gonna go the extra mile with full system and tune?

I got the 2021 636 almost 2 months ago. Same colors .❤
Congratulations!🎉 🥳 👏🏾 I saw your progression from Kawasaki 650 to the Z1000 to the ZX10 . You’re gonna have a blast 💥! Ride safe like you always do!😉

Spending vicariously through you 👍🏽
Great Looking Bike! I’ve had my 2020 636 for almost a year and I already want the 10R! Thanks for the Video!

Awesome and congratulations on the new ride! The krt scheme is the nicest, but it's subjective lol Enjoy her 👍
Thanks! Will do!
Great video, congratulations on your new bike (even though I just watched this over one month after it went on air lol)!
Thank you Felipe! I'm still wrapping my head around this bike. It is so much different than what I'm used to. It is fun and very powerful but I have several issues with this bike. I'm still working through those! Appreciate the comment and support (even if it was late haha!). Take care!
Hopefully they will have a flash for the EUC
Yeah I'll be derestricting it at some point but have no interest in a power commander. I know they haven't cracked this new ECU yet but I'm sure it'll happen in the next several months, I'll be keeping an eye on the forums and when it can be done I'll ship mine out.

Are you doing reviews anymore? Hope all is well
Manny at motomillion has some great upgrades. You should contact him. He gives amazing deals.
