The audio was fine dude. I agree whole-heartedly about the "valuing your life" statement. Broadly speaking, many 18-19 years olds typically think they're invincible, I know I did. Said another way, perhaps it's more accurate to say that serious injury or death is not at the forefront of their thinking. I didn't buy my first motorcycle, not to say I didn't ride any, until I was 43. It was a 2010 Ninja 650 and that was plenty (still is really) to learn on. For me, it was a GREAT idea NOT to buy a motorcycle until I was older and more mature. But, of course that is subjective. Now that I'm in my 50s, I was ready for the ubers smooth 23 Z900 SE (same engine as your bike, just sleeved down and has shorter stroke). Regarding the reliability, it's a Kawi - they're almost bulletproof! I would like to see the inside of some of those temples for sure!!
Greg, you have some great insights here! I’d say that the Z900 can be better than the N1K in many scenarios specially in the city traffic! I believe that when I was in my late teens a scooter would have gotten me in trouble haha In fact, I see many youngsters out here fully pushing the limit of their 150cc machines, and a fall in any bike has the potential for permanent damages in your life… I appreciate the input about the temples, I will add some footage of them on my next video. I’m currently taking a 5 day tour on the bike right now so it’s going to take a few days for the next upload. Ride safe, brother!
@@LiterFreedomIf you have any questions about the bike let me know. I already had the 2016 version, the z1000sx, and in 2020 I exchanged it for the current ninja 1000sx. As you can see, I'm a fan.
@@myownroad9278 That’s really cool. As of now I’m looking to upgrade the ECU, but I’m not sure if it’s worth it to upgrade it with only a Slip-on exhaust, I might end up getting a full exhaust in a few months or so…But I like the idea of better throttle response. Did you get your ECU done?
Haha I still make mistakes from time to time, I still haven't taken her on the track yet, I still have lots to learn but maybe I'm not a rookie anymore LOL
Great video. I just got my 2024 ninja 1000sx last week! I love it!
Thanks for the input, brother! Hope you subscribe for more content on the 1000sx! Ride safe!

@@LiterFreedom I can't help you with that. I always keep my motorcycles original, with factory characteristics.
@@myownroad9278 I see...Did you have any problems with her? Im surprised with how good the reliability of the 1000sx is.
After all the miles and training you have done I would not consider you a beginner anymore :)
