Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX - An Auto-journo's Nightmare! | 4k Review | Sagar Sheldekar Official 

It's about 80% as fast as a proper superbike, but on our roads, it's significantly more versatile and comfortable than one. The one bike that actually makes you wonder whether it's even worth buying a superbike if you're only going to use it on public roads. Great video as always, Sarge. 👊✊😎

On my recent short-ride to Temghar backwater, I had a chance to marvel at you just doing your thing! I was cruising along and glanced you alongside with who I think was Aravind, I initially thought it was someone else but this video just clears it all! Looking forward to see you again sometime soon! Kudos

Bloody hell! I purchased a 2022 1000sx a few months back and RU-vid is suggesting this one as I've watched all of them. But I have NEVER seen a review done so well, so professionally, with such incredible cinematography, presentation and editing. I mean this could, and really SHOULD be used in part for the SX advertising footage. It's almost.... beautiful! Honestly well done this is superb work. And your factual coverage is superb. Not a single disagreement from me now owning one. Got a sub from me. Now I have to go and watch your other ones!!

Most underrated moto journalist. Don't know why people are not subscribing to your channel. In terms of video shoot, camera angles, editing, your riding skills, the way you describe the goods and the bad. Your are on the ULTRA PRO MAX level. Absolutely love your videos.

Got this bike exactly a week ago . Sarge, every single word you said in this review is exactly how I would sum up Cyclotron. Delighted that I made the right choice. Below are couple of points in addition to what Sarge mentioned in this review. Please note that I won't repeat all the great positives that Sarge mentioned in the video. 1. I think I am gonna keep watching this review every night before going to bed. 2. Fuel range ranges between 280 to 340 depending on the speed one tours in. Below 139 its usually around 20+. Above 140 it drops to about 17. In bumper to bumper traffic it can further drop down to 10 kmpl. 3. This bike made me unlearn what touring is thanks to its brilliant quick shifter and cruise control. BTW, the cruise control activates only after 2K RPM in 4th, 5th and 6th. Cruise control works between 39 kmph to 143 kmph. Quick shifter is best used above 2.5K RPM for those smooth upshifts. 4. The stock headlights are really great as far as intensity of light and throw are concerned. Definitely needs a slight mod there. 5. The ex showroom price is 11.8 lakh and not 12.8 lakh. 6. While this is a sports tourer, thanks to its 6 axis IMU, it also has a lean angle sensor which is super cool IMO. 7. Its loaded with several buttons on the left. While riding in the dark, I accidentally pressed a wrong button most of the time. Wish it had back lit switches. 8. As far as looks are concerned, I personally don't like the design of the silencer. While I am absolutely fine with having just one can, the shape of it could have been way better than its current form. 9. The bike is so smooth that sometimes I felt like I am riding an electric bike. 10. As always, Sarge made yet another beautiful video of another beautiful machine. P.S. - Most of the points mentioned above are basis my experience of riding it for 1200 KMs in the week gone by.

We bumped in at palolem over breakfast and instantly felt that crazy enthusiasm you possess to discuss any topic related to motorcycles..its really admirable.As a ninja 1000 owner i can safely say that this has been the most informative..thrilling..honest and dramatic ninja 1000 review ever done...kudos to you and the living it up team.

It's much easier to find fault in Ninja than to find fault in your videos.. They're always perfect Sarge! 😀 You've rekindled my liter class tourer dream which I had successfully suppressed for past 2 years..

Every time I watch Sarge, I feel like writing something that accurately describes the impecabble videography, review and the legend himself but I run out of words every single time. So I would just say, It's been years watching you and it's always a day 1 excitement.. Huge admirer Sir ! 🫂

also ive owned a 2010 z1000 for years and id never trade it for any other street bike. for 13 years now this platform has been one of the best street oriented sporty machines available no matter what the magazines say

You just gained a new subscriber in the USA. You gave a great review with real world riding in it. I look forward to viewing your archives and new videos. I have a ZX-10R myself, but at some point, I might be getting a sports tourer to take the tension off my wrists and shoulders.

It is a different feeling watching your videos. You just have the magical ability to conquer your viewers full attention throughout the video. I can definitely say that every video of yours has not just been made for the sake of posting it on RU-vid but instead a lot of planning and story-lining goes into it which is appealing to the me. I have stopped watching other review channels simply because this channel has it all. Right from the narration to the quality of videos, it has the right amount of everything. And as somebody mentioned it is easy to find a fault in the bikes but in contrast it’s difficult to find faults in your videos…lol I love this channel and I really love your content Sagar.

Thought of recalling a chat with a friend that said,"I saw a Dyno chart many years ago in a magazine. Till approx. 8000 RPM Ninja 1000 made more power and torque than all the racing 1000 cc, including BMW S1000RR. The writer said that due to this even if the Ninja makes only 135BHP (now it makes 150), it is quicker and faster than all other race bikes in most of street riding, unless you were racing and that super sports people are always surprised how quickly it accelerates from stop lights." Even without going into the details it is evident that Ninja 1000 is a hell of a bang-for-the buck proposition in this segment and will remain the same for years to come! Appreciate your making as always!

Can vouch for this. Got my Ninja 1000 in 2019, and it has been the best decision. A huge upgrade from my previous ride too i.e. Harley Davidson Iron 883, which was a nightmare to ride.

Most of the frames can be used as a wallpaper, watching it after a long time once again after the release of the video, not boring at all, always interesting review

I own a 2021 ninja 1000 sx and you hit the nail on the head with every pro and con. Very thorough review!!

Awesome cinematic experience!!! I dream of owning this one cuz it has everything I ask in a motorcycle. power, torque, comfort, equipment and comfort. The ground clearance is the same as my thunderbird 500 (sorry to compare but still.,:)) My only question is will it hold on with a pillion on broken roads with that clearance?

Always a fan of good gear ratios.. makes for a relaxed ride.. and if you are vigilant you can maintain the revs where you feel happy.. comfortable .. or want to hear the engine. Kawi always does smart things for affordable price bands..

I have always felt that 1000 SX is a sophisticated package in a "humble" form factor. The best thing about this bike is I feel that it gets almost all the basics right. Also, I feel that Kawasaki could give this bike a little more "character" which would help it to stand out from the rest of the crowd because from a price-to-performance standpoint, this is one absolute banger of a motrocycle. This coming from an owner of a Ninja 650 (so might be biased as well). 😁

I have the previous version, its amazing. Does everything you want. Cruising at 120 mph is a breeze.

I totally agree with you Sarge !!! It feels like a gearless bike where you can ride all days in 6th gear !!!! Even for a short girl like, the 835 mm and 230ish Kg weight disappears once you start riding !!! Love our Ninja but love your videos more !!! Those power wheelies ❤️❤️ !!! Take a bow Master !!! 🙏🙏

Sagar its always a good day when I watch your reviews! Keep it up man! Hands down one of the best motorcycle reviewers in the world. Good job to the man behind the camera and editors as well. Its nothing less than a short glorifying cinematic movie.

From one spec to another you travel as if on an expressway.. absolutely no hiccups and so seamlessly integrated. Enjoyed every bit of it..❤

Big fan sir! You're just amazing 💕 Love your videos sir, The review of zx10r had made my more obsessed towards it 😅 You're literally a legend sir🌟

Watched the review 5-6 times now...and booked the bike. Thank you for the amazing work. ❤

Your video echoes the same thoughts which run through my mind every time I ride my Ninja 1000 !!!! even after 4 and half years , it makes me fall in love with my "Goblin" all over again !!! And as always amazing video Sarge !!!

Great review as always. Looking forward to see the RE scram411 review soon.

Tamhini, Mulshi, Lavasa epic scenes! This purely gave the evergreen Versys 650 review vibes😍 This sports tourer is purely S(e)X!

I can't say how many times I have watched this video. I find it really relevant for someone who loves touring and for someone who loves a sports bike. Hoping that Kawasaki releases its updated version soon in India! And I am going for it when they do! :) Thank you for the amazing content that you deliver us Sagar!

Hello! This was a great review with some excellent and funny descriptions that perfectly capture what you're talking about and relate to real-world riding issues. I'm based in the UK but I'm now a subscriber!

I watch this video . Again and again don't why ... More than 500 times i watch it .. still love to watch again.. favourite ever 💝🎄🎄

Excellent video!!! I love the cinematography.

I initially also has the same issue with the way the auto blipper on my 1000sx works.... But then after some 2000 kms of riding I found out that if you let go of the throttle after braking.. and letting go of the front brake lever as well it downshifts quite smoothly

I bought Suzuki gixxer seeing your review, you add emotion to every review. Love to see you grow more successful.

I'm in love with Sagars voice and the way he narrates ,he is awesome ,one of the best in RU-vid for reviewing bikes.Hes insanely awesome.

You are very convincing & yet honest with the flaws. You sold it & I’ve been watching several other videos of the bike. It’s between the Mt-09 SP or the BMW RS 1250. I think this is an all rounder

Man......ur cinematography is damm 😍😍......always gives me chills

Nice review brother, im a proud owner for the past one year, and the machine excites me on each and every ride,just touched 13k on odo,keep doing the quality work sagar bro, im a fan from kerala😊

The one who Can explain about Tvs XL As a sports Bike and we all watch that Video as we always love to... Sagar Sir You are Phenomenal 🏍️❤

Beautiful, comforting and thrilling at the same time. Its just amazing how you manage to do that everytime. Kudos to you and your team. Thanks Sarge.

The only thing shocking here is number of subscribers.Dude u deserve way tooo higher and u will get those.All the best

Loved It. So beautiful to watch. Great work by Sarge and the whole team. Keep Going. i also wish for the review of Z900 too. I'm sure that will happen.

Brilliant Video....Sports touring ....a breed of Motorcycles on the verge of extinction.....alive only because of this.....Ninja 1000 sx.what a machine. Hope Suzuki also launches the 2022 1000 GT in India.

I have the same exact trim for my 2022 Ninja 1000SX and same exact thoughts Sarge!! I felt like You and I were talking at the same time. I found the blipper to work best when you are rolling down the throttle and then downshifting, but yes, it's not as slick and smooth as the quickshifter. The quickshifter shifts like a dream. I have the same exact thoughts on the menu and the bluetooth connectivity too. Another bumer is that though there's a mounting niche for a USB port, but the port itself is an additional accessory rather than a factory fitted equipment.

Never thought I'd buy a sport bike until I watched this review the first time. My next bike is the 1000SX from a '90 electra glide.

@SagarSheldekarOfficial Rewatched it just to feel afresh and calm. Any idea about the chances of Ninja 1000SX coming back to India with even a new name any sooner? TIA Sarge ❣️

Sagar bro's Kawasaki Ninja 300 review in with co host Ten Hut and the Powerdrift team nearly 6 years ago is what inspires me still inspirting when i watch Sarge's Ninja reviews now here in Livin It Up! Thanks sarge .. God Bless YOu, ur new Livin It Up team and keep it up!

U know it's a quality content when Sagar dada is hosting it 👌👌

You don't review, you knit a story and take the viewer inside of it. The beautiful vistas and the narration alongside is something very cinematic. Keep up the good work. I would want to request you to make a touring video to either the northeast or leh/ladakh. A beautiful machine combined with the sceneries and your narration will be a treat to watch.

Got my Ninja 1ksx (named him KRATOS) last month.. After 2000km on the odo, agree with every point made in the video sarge :) Cheers!

The moment I switch on to your videos, Sarge , believe me, my eyes blurr and , whenever you say words like "face melting fast on a straight" I just live those moments as of my own.

You are an awesome story teller... And when u tell that story of the motorcycle you ride... I reach my dream world... Kudos to you... Big fan of you. Ninja 1k has always been one of the best machine from Kawa stables... No doubts they haven't changed the engine since almost a decade now.

Bro , I'm from Bangladesh and I like your videos. I think you got the coolest job in the world. Keep it up for us....

The bgm that you use in your videos are so engaging especially at the end of the video. Excellent quality of videos. Please do share the bgms that you use or your own playlist . Great review for a great monster

Still to this day, one of the most entertaining review of this bike. Kudos!

Yes, did remind me of your Versys 650 review.. (which still remains the best amongst all reviews ever...). With this review what you've done is out-done your self as Sagar Sheldekar Official! Keep the content coming man! And a gentle reminder for that Tiger Sport vs Versys 650 comparo..

That burger Grill though is Biggest eyesore 🔥🔥🔥

Hey Sarge, love this one as with all others! Noticed something out of place on the bike- the tires. The BS6 ninja 1000sx comes equipped with the Bridgestone battlax hypersport S22s; this one however has those OEM Dunlop sportmax 2s which are seen on some of kawasaki's more budget friendly options. Wonder why that is and if that had a negative impact on the machine(if any). Keep up the lovely work and keep churning out that content we love so much❤️.

20kmpl is also actually low. In one of the rides I got 27.35 kmpl from my ninja 1000sx. It's just the way one rides, I was riding at a speed of around 80-100kmph throughout. Awesome bike it is. So easy to ride that you don't really feel you are riding a 1000.❤ Nonetheless, glad to see you finally came up with the review, even though it was late. Funny note is - I was actually waiting for the review before i got the bike. I got impatient after waiting for a long time & ended up buying it & then you came up with the review. Nonetheless, a very good review, as always.

The feel is everything what we get from your vids ❤️

I was proud of my Ninja1000 that I pampered myself as a new year gift this year, I am now even prouder after seeing your video, thanks buddy!

comes with a griller too at the back , Nice!

Very nicely done - beautiful countryside too.

Finally 🔥. Was Waiting for this Video 😍

Again, always love how every review is a complete mix of proper city riding with emphasis on engine heat and gearing which is sorely missed point. All the fast pace action along with focus on slow speed riding is what makes reviews stand out and you make it look easy. Request - TRIDENT 660 review and a video on earplugs and any affordable options cuz many people miss this important piece of protection

What a Review!! I am short of words how well the video has been made and composed. Perfection at it's best!

Great visuals and great storytelling, as usual.

What a fantastic review!! I was astounded by the phenomenal videography, fantastic riding skills and informative review. You are truly an inspiration!! As for the bike - after watching this video it's now on my bucket list! Thanks for a brilliant video

Brilliant video serge. Is this the road from varandha ghat towards bhor ? Covered it 2years back .. beautiful place.

Like others have said, your videography is incredible.

First video that I have watched from you and it is excellent. I have watched a good number of bike reviews and yours are stellar. Even more props for all of the wheelies!!

I am such a big fan of both of you the ninja 1000sx and your presentation skills, this is the coolest review i have seen for this Japanese mothership. Keep up the good work. I have been following you from the days you were at powerdrift

Needless to say your reviews on a bike are what we always look up for, as they are as on spot, precise and immaculate as it can get!!!!!

Thank you Sarge for the video. Worth the wait.

What a superb review..the oem Bridgestones on my 2019 bike sucked..I switched to pirelli angel gt2s..and they are magical, especially in the corners

Damn ...crazy video bro ...keep doing great work...

Fantastic video as always

Rain mode se Rider mode pe set kar den Power F And Traction control 1 hogya sport mode mai yahi rakhta hau

Wonderful review Sarge... Next Gen Versys 1000 with this changes n some good ground clearance will be a Purrrfect Bike for exploring India... at SuperSonic Pace ..Any news on it?

I own a Ninja 1000sx from past one year and have really enjoyed it. Since this is my first liter class, all I can say that it is super fun to ride the bike. Though the bike is a great machine, the service level of Kawasaki workshops are a nightmare.

Great camerawork as always , especially the ones of the ride. You find some amazing places to shoot these rides.which is this place , would love to ride in upcoming monsoon

Can you tell me which is the best bike for hilly regions F250,D250,RTR 200 4v, duke 200, ns 200, rs200,gx 250

Gosh have i missed Sarge and his reviews ! 🔥❤

I have been using this n1000 from 4years. Superbly explained each and every plus and minus points. Great job sir. And the music was excellent. Can you please give the list of all background music of this video?

Excelente vídeo! Acho linda essa moto! Além de potente e confortável! Você faz vídeos de motos mais antigas que estão fora de linha? Aqui no Brasil tenho uma Suzuki Bandit 650 S 2012! Uma Sport Turing excelente, embora esteja fora de produção.

Ninja 1000sx is my favourite litre class bike it provides everything you need in that pricing. Honestly, I know everything about the bike and doesn't seek reviews presently. But Everything Sarge reviews automatically becomes more beautiful. Always felt really good after watching your videos in 4k on TV. Also including that raw motovloging part where you're talking to the camera from the dashboard POV was a nice touch. 💗

By far the best review of the 1000SX. Stumbled upon your video by chance and glad I did. Well done.

Sarge will never Disappoint Us He is amazing 😍 Those Visuals in ur videos 👌😘

@ Sagar Sheldekar Official - thanks for the video man, it's really well done and very interesting! How would you compare this motorcycle to something like a Ducati Multistrada V2? Both in terms of long distance comfort and also agility around the corners? Cheers from Portugal!

Though you are the one riding it, i feel that rush in my heart, the vibration in my legs.. as if the acceleration is transcendenting through the video. Superb production brother!

Amazing video and an amazing bike. Waiting for your review on the 2022 Suzuki GSX-S1000GT.

Take a bow ... Sir Sarge is here🙏🙏.. The story telling, cinematography the view..He just nails it all.. King Sarge... Best in the world..

Please make a video on how to lean heavy bike or say how to do cornering.

The way you present it man its like a dream as i am in another world, 👍 keep it up the good work

great video 👌👌 jst wana know how have u neatly mounted ur gopro..

Please review the new z900 Sagar. Ive seen your PD review on the old one like a 100 times! This is a bike that has a massive fan following, me included. Waiting for this one. Please do it soon!

India's No. 1 motovlogger arrives with another blockbuster review.....the review is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Very professional review. You always explain all the plus and minus of the bikes. That’s why I never miss any review. Sir, which bike is a better I sports touring category. Ninja 1000SX or Ducati supersport 950?

Hmmm… It’s not the tank alone, that makes you tingle and rethink. Sarge is the closest competition. I almost sold my Ninja 1000 2019. Closest to this SX for a F900XR but now…..

Why wouldn’t there be a Z900 review on your channel? Sad .. :(

Nice summer jacket Sarge
