A little more detail on the changes, traction control, the ride quality, the improvement on the mirrors, such and I think you'll give a guy a good idea of how much better this bike is...cheers Phil!
Here's my suggestion. Motor Trend videos have the spec sheet at the end, so you can if you like stop and review the old v. new. Also you can lower the music a bit and provide more sound track from the motor. Top Gear (UK the other doesn't exist) plays music but not at the expense of the real noise we want to hear!
As a quick review this was fine. MCN has done a further comparison test against a Suzuki and Honda which gives more information. If you want more tech specifications go to the Kawasaki or retailers websites.
since i'm sure the panniers will be a 1000$ plus option, it would have been nice to see how the bike actually looks, you know, like a new, stock bike would?
Is it just me or is the pannier in line with the top exhaust? As for the review, it is a "first ride". Usually not as in-depth as their "road test" reviews.
Great review, as always, but one huge omission: what does the bike sound like? Engineers spend months perfecting it, officionados turn their heads to hear it....From now on, every bike review should include the engine noise. Cheers
find it very, ur um odd that motorcycle companies have brand name products rebadged (or turned around so the actual manufacture name is hidden) as their product, Aprilia does it, many Korean brands do it....not sure why...
I don't like it either, but it makes sense. Amateurs do it for fun. MCN does it as a job, however, it's not their job to make youtube vids. They won't make any money with these vids either. It's their job to sell the magazine, so they have to make us curious enough to buy the mag and read more.
I like how amateur moto vloggers produce longer and more comprehensive bike reviews than a major bike mag. come on mcn make better content or use Neaves more!
MCN please put some subtitles in your videos! Im not from England, and i dont understand the british accent! I think a lot of people have the same problem! Thank you very much, and greetings from Greece
it looks a lil out of place though but still this bike is made for long journey ride and you might wanna have stuffs to carry for your many days trip and its called panniers
What kind of a review was that? No test results.. No specs.. Just "I like it". Thanks for that insightful and compelling review!!

The review is basically that it is better than the old one. Which is useless for those of us not familiar with the old one.
true words have been spoken!
So is Motortrend but they produce the most in depth videos and reviews of anyone in terms of cars.

Lovely bike!
Do you sit more upright on the 2014 model the 2013 model ?
Is there less vibration through the handlebars than the old one ?

Skip the stupid music next time and let us hear the motor.
I am against the single headlight on low beam, that's the first thing to change, too many bikes are like this it's stupid.

I'm with you on that one. Give me the bike for a day and, as a motovlogger I will pick it apart for you.

MCN they are a profit organization, if you need a detailed review, gotta purchase the magazin,or look elsewhere

Is this the Ninja1000 in the rest of the world?
actually i liked a lot this review
not, are TOKICO :)
c'mon guys, .. my grandmother (bless) could do a better bike review.
Told me very little, sadly.
sporlich aber niht so gut etwas fehld makinanın görünümlü güzel değil daha motor sportif görünüm ola bilirdi
That music is maddening,beautiful bike and having to listen to that rubbish, oh and as a review this was rubbish also..
What a useless report. I can't understand how people are getting paid to put together such low quality content.
well that was a crap review
63 people must really like kawazaki... Extra poor content ! Wake up MCN ...
Dear Kawasaki,
Please fix the o so ugly exhaust........
Saddlebags on a sport-bike look gross and defeats the purpose. For Gawd's sake either get a real sport-bike or a touring bike.
it looks a lil out of place though but still this bike is made for long journey ride and you might wanna have stuffs to carry for your many days trip and its called panniers
gwwayner You can get it without the panniers, or just take 'em off, but when you need to do the weekly shop they'd come in really handy!!!
+gwwayner Surprise!en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sport_touring_motorcycle
It's a sport tourer.
The zx10r is sport.
Learn the difference ffs.
So you don't know what a sports tourer is ??
Yep, useless reporting. He's got no idea what anyone wants to hear.
