Hi Guys and Gals.
Thought I'd give you my first imp[ressions of my 2023 Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX as well as a brief tutorial on the display. I watched MotoJitsu's video on his test ride of the 2023 Ninja 1000SX and seems as though the dealership failed miserably in showing him some of the functions. He thought the quick-shifter may have to have a first service before being activated but it's only a matter of turning it on through the menu's "vehicle settings". Same with the RPMs shift limiter. Various types of display screens with both day and night time backgrounds. I do believe that the display background will also change on its own as it gets darker out and vice versa.
There are functions I didn't even get to but that's another video.
The ride is a comfortable one. Ergonomics are very nice. My back and knees have been battered and abused throughout my youth but I'm just as comfortable as can be on the bike. Seat works quite well but the real test would be a day trip. If need be, the seat can be upgraded.
The quick-shifter is smooth as ice both up and down. At first, I wasn't sure I'd like the down-shifting but once I used to it and found that sweet spot, oh baby, I'm hooked.
The suspension just soaks up the bumps and dips like they were nothing providing you with that sweet, plush ride.
Would I recommend this bike? You betcha! True, I haven't owned it long but what I've experienced so far is fantastic. And every time I go out it gets better as I get to know the bike better.
As much as I love the 2021 MT-09, my decision to upgrade to this bike will definitely prolong my riding experience.
BTW, I still have the MT-09 and I'll get out a video on it soon.
So, ride well everyone and Happy Holidays to you all.
