Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX sound [RAW Onboard] 

9 uploads since the last 4 cylinder! I thought it was time again ;) ENJOY!

Perfect balance of Kawasaki power , Reliability , Ergonomics and practicality . BEST SPORT TOURER EVER !!

I love this video!... no talking, no music, no bullshit, just the ride.

I love this guy, he's like a calmer Wristy; it's just all about the scenic routes, the wind blowing at your face, and the pure, rich sound of the engine as it revs.

I had the pleasure of test riding one of these once, they're so good! I immediately felt comfortable enough to do fast paced corners while still being comfy as hell. Dreambike.

I can see you've changed your lines toward safer ones, well done, it is a great lesson for less advanced riders watching you.

If you ever felt useless in your life, think about this Clutch :")

The smoothest sounding inline 4 sport tourer ever 🔥

Also ich weiß jetzt nicht, wievielmal ich mir dieses Video angesehen habe. Du fährst im 2. Gang mit 110 durch die Landschaft und im 6. Gang mit 40 durch die Stadt. Das Motorrad ist der Hammer. Danke!

I can see your good riding lines, and thats exactly what I've been taught in advanced riding. Thumbs up!

You don't have to worry about people judging bad on your riding lines anymore. This video answers to all those who just "talk" about line riding etc. Brilliant work !

5:00 I respect both driver and rider. Driver didn’t show turning signal for a while due to unclear risk at curve, but just after clearing the driver showed signal. Rider also made shift-up quickly to reduce exhaust sound near the car. Both know a smart way.

Your videos rock. Pure engine noise and commentary by text. No spoken voice to distract from the experience. Perfect!

Excellent video. I have a new one of these coming in a day or so and been watching a few videos in anticipation. This one gave me the best sense of what I've got to look forward to. What a fabulous road it was, nice mix of bends, mostly good surface and with very little traffic. Really appreciated the way you rode that section. You were very fast but within a good safety margin. Smooth, controlled lines that didn't come over as if you thought you were on a track, but still on it enough to get the blood pumping. Nice job.

I have had several 4 cylinders motorbikes and one of them was this. Good memories with this video. Many thanks mate!

one of the best video i have ever seen about that motorcycle no speaking, nice road and just the music from the exhaust ❤ good job mate

I got to ride one of these at Kawasaki demo days, and let me tell you, this is 100% my next bike purchase. Pure enjoyment.

I had the 2018 Z1000SX for one year and four months, made 34000 km with it and traveled in 8 countries. I changed it to the Versys 1000SE because I travel a lot and I don't own a car so I needed a more confortable bike. I am very glad about it, but I still miss my SX and if I had enough money, I would like to have one as a second bike ! Nice video again and thank you to have remember me this good bike !

The Ninja 1000 has always had one of the best stock noises of any 4 cylinder bike out there. Loved just listening to this, let alone watching it!

Outstanding riding! I always enjoy your videos. Very cool to see you on so many different bikes. Getting ready to pick up a low mileage 20' SX this weekend. I have been riding a 18' Triumph Street Triple RS for the last 2 1/2 years and love the bike but I'm bumping 60 years old and I needed something with more comfortable ergos for touring yet still want the sporty side! You're gonna grow old but you don't have to grow up! Thanks for all the content you put up! Cheers from the US!

this guy is so damn skilled. maneuvering the beast like its nothing.

Great video! Love your comments too! I recently demo'd this bike and instantly fell in love! I will be adding this bike to the stable very soon!

Was looking into getting a new bike, wanted a sport tourer after tons or research.... and watching this video a hundred times, I bought this bike. My only regret is not having the quick shift, but absolutly LOVE this bike! And now my first person riding looks and sounds just like this video.

I can't get tired of watching this video. Awesome

That Kawasaki growl.....You are so lucky,great bikes,great roads.

That was a lot of fun to watch! Nice riding and beautiful scenery! Thanks for uploading this! Safe travels man.

Finally, i was waiting for this since the david and goliath upload from years back

Riding all these bikes sounds like a dream job. Keep it going!

great video mate, just engine and nature sounds. One of the best MC channels

Gorgeous ride, Gorgeous roads, loved it! Fantastic, keep it up!

Damn, that's a very fast couch. Impressive. Looks smooth af too.

Just wanted to comment about this bike’s engine: for an inline 4, it’s really torquey at low revs. That honestly makes a great street riding feature because it means less downshifting to get into the torque. You can be cruising at 50MPH in 5th gear and have useable power, or 75MPH in 6th, roll on the throttle and be at 115 in about 2 seconds. Makes for an awesome highway machine! Ergonomics are honestly the perfect compromise between upright and tuck (for me, at 5’8”), it’s a comfortable sporty position, and you get a full fairing. Before I bought mine, I thought this bike was going to look kind of huge (comparing it to a superbike), but it really doesn’t. Just a little bit taller in the front, and heavier, but still looks and feels like a sportbike in person. The quickshifter seems amazing in this video; my ‘19 didn’t come with one. To me, it’s pretty much my dream machine, and it blows my mind that this bike isn’t a little more widely recognized and appreciated, but I’m okay with riding something a little less common. Anyway, that’s my take on it, I hope you enjoyed the novel💨 Edit: I should also say this is a great video, thanks to the creator.

Man the audio for this entire video was amazing and from 12:35 I could practically taste the audio. Great job, I plan on buying this bike in white. It is amazing 🙂👍

Amazing 4cylinder bike! Thank you! Bravo Kawa!

I have this bike. It's great to see you enjoying one on a road like that. I think everyone prefers a V4 or crossplane engine, but this is a bike you can buy with your head, rather than your heart, and still feel happy with your choice.

I really like your style of videos....they are very relaxing and have the best quality....so keep going mate ;) Hope you could ride the Shiver 900 to listen that italian V2.....

You are the only youtuber ,which I spend time to watch 3-4 times🖤

*That scenic roads though*

I've just started up this new channel and chose this as my channel bike. Absolutely love it.

Wow ..amazing,felt like i was riding!!!the views are awesome 👏🏻

simply the Heaven. A green Kawa, trees, curves and NO CARS!!!

love the downshifts🔥♥️

I swear I though you were going to take a leak on camera at the end there. LOL killing me. Thanks for a GREAT sound record and the typed comments are helpful too.

I just LOVE that self-pixillating speedometer!

Top quality content as always !!! Loved it.

I have this bike with the oem hard bags, oem touring screen. Absolutely love this bike. Still on the stock tires and just hit 8100kms, and I don't baby the throttle 🙂

THANKS FOR SUCH A WONDERFUL RIDE

This is the comment I made on Kawazedz's video, it is also true for your video: Thank you very much for a great video, very enjoyable. Your video helped convince me to buy a Ninja 1000 SX. Took delivery of my 2021 model 3 weeks ago and have now completed the initial 1000 klm. Am so, so happy with it and again thanks for helping to convince me> Cheers from waydownunder :-)

Great vid as always, thanks. It sounds pretty good for the standard can.

Beautiful place to ride. This bike looks extremely impressive

And as always, your Raws are always very welcome 😃👌

Another great video from Schaaf!

Great Video Schaaf! Can't wait to bring my Ninja 1000 back on the road after being in lockdown. Inspiration to get back! Oh and... that pannier hiding... hilarious ^^

Looks like a great Bike. I was thinking about this before buying my MTS1200S, Z1000SX is definitely one of my favourite bikes in the market right now.

Been waiting for this one, Schaaf! Last week Mr. Dave Moss setup the stock suspension on my 2018 Ninja 1000 ABS. Along with a new pair of Bridgestone S22 it's like an entirely new machine, just fantastic! The balance is remarkable...bumpy, smooth, slow, or fast it just works so well now.

Great video as usual. Thanks

Just what I was waiting for ❤

Hey Schaaf! love your raw vids man. It inspires me to get 4cyls in the future. Hope I get one soon.

This is so satisfying to watch

Nicely done. I enjoyed this !

Junge. Du fährst eine unglaublich saubere Linie! Hut ab.

Love that awesome Kawasaki sound

Hey Schaaf, you truly ride different after your crash. This is really comparable to mine, more “spare” and still fast! Enjoyed this vid mate. Cheers and ride safe. Btw this bike rocks doesn’t it?

Gostei da tocada!! Com certeza ele conhece muito bem a estrada e seus pontos de frenagem e aceleração, aí ficam na dose certa!! Parabéns, aprendi um pouco mais!!

Nice. This is making me miss my 2014 1000 ABS (it was totalled in a theft attempt a few months ago.)

I rode this bike recently. I agree on the sterility of those engines (compared to my R-Nine-T), inline 4's are smooth, but a bit too 'clean' for me. On the other hand, the Kawa is a quality bike, well-built, good fuelling, and rock-solid. Felt really good, except for the fact that I'm used to pre-tensioning the gearbox, which made the quickshifter surprise me several times by banging in the next gear. And that metallic green paint in the sun!

Now that is some decent riding good, sir!

Beautiful beautiful engine sound. Mainly watching this because the sport engine is soothing and comforting to me. I miss riding, had a starter bike until some shitty car driver cut me off. This is my dream bike, so looking forward to the day I can actually buy one of these. Even with uni degree and nice tech job, it takes so long to afford anything in America. About 100K of student debt and attacking it as fast as possible. Excuse me for posting my life story on your vid, I felt the urge to share. Nice riding skills, having fun without being too risky!! Thank you for keeping the dream alive!!

That certainly sounds like a Kawasaki! Screeeeaaaam!

This is my dream bike bro, I'll afford it once I am done with my MBBS. love you bro for making this video. We expect more from you and sayonara! 😎

Fantastisch, wie harmonisch, dieser Motor klingt. Der Blipper muss auch mega Spaß machen! Auch Deine Fahrweise und Linie muss ich wirklich loben. Da hast Du ne starke Entwicklung gemacht, wenn ich das so sagen darf. Sehr vorbildlich. Ich hoffe, ich bekomme diese geschmeidige Fahrweise auch irgendwann hin.

The green of the Kawasaki and the green of the landscape matched perfectly,...

The video Quality is.🙌🏻🙌🏻❤️

I'm glad you pulled over you've been holding my gz 1000cc Kawasaki concourse up... 2006 but she's pure luxury...

Einfach ein geiles Teil !!! LG und mach weiter so !!

Sound of the bike left everything behind 😉😁🏍️💨

No missing your wideoes! 🔥

Omg the sound!! Im a month away from picking up my 2023 and im freaking out !!!

GREAT SHAAF. THE ONLY WAY TO UNDERSTAND THE REAL PERFORMANCE OF A BIKE IS TO SEE YOUR VIDEOS. THANKS FOR THE INFORMATION.

Man the sound quality is very good. Do you have an external mic or what for wind protection do you use ? I have also the GoPro 10 on helmet mount but i can’t get the same results. Btw, awesome ride!

I have a 2023 and did an ecu flash and a slip on. Raises the noise level ever so slightly very happy with it

I love the final scene ;D

Smooth riding!

This looks dangerous 😍

You must be one of the luckiest men on the planet. To take a random walk into the woods and find a new set of panniers -- that FIT YOUR BIKE!! :0 Well done, sir!

I think this is the most comfortable 4 cylinder and super sport bike.

Amazing roads. Perfect conditions. Awesome noise. And a quickshifter!! What's not to like?

Kawasaki is my favorite brand !!!! (ZX12R owner here 😁)

Roll on better weather' can't wait to get back out on mine' fookin luv it.

Pickup luggage at the end class act 😉

Hello, I like it and I am subscribed to your wonderful channel You are a professional and have experience with trying different types of motorcycles, and I love the experience and adventures like you 🤚🤚👌👌💪💪💪💖💖💖

Wastl am wald ist immer geil.super,daß das du im Wohngebiet leise unterwegs bist.bleib gesund und alles gute.mfg mike the bike

That's some smooth gear changes...

top 5 1000SX vod. thanks.

I like your style! lol

Lieber Mr. Schaaf: Motorrad ist bestellt, mit auch wegen deinem RAW-Video+ deiner Erfahrung damit! Bin jetzt schon sowas von nervös und euphorisch, denke ich habe das richtige getan! Ist mein 1. neues Bike, ohne Probefahrt da keine vorhanden🤣 Bin schon sowas von gespannt, hoffe das es sich bis Juli ausgeht!!! Vielen Dank für deine tollen Videos, sind jedes Mal ein Highlight 😊 Bin neugierig wie das Upgrade wird von meiner jetzigen Z750 aus 2007 auf die neue 1000er 🥰 Außerdem bin ich gespannt ob ich die Ninja in der Puchenstubn auch gleich so fliegen lassen kann wie du🤣🤣🤣 Wie immer: Ride safe & schöne Grüße aus Mödling und nochmal Danke das du mir mit deinem Video die Kaufentscheidung vereinfacht hast😁😁😁

Cooles Video! Wie heißt der Ort durch den du da gefahren bist? Zu gerne würde ich die Strecke auch mal fahren..

I got the 2018 model brand new in June at 23% off, with a 5 year warranty. The single side exhaust, throttle update and the cruise control on the 2020 mod is the only updates i wish i got on mine. Otherwise it's a perfect bike for me. With Metzeler M9RR's on it, I'm scraping footpegs in the twisties in the 10 degrees Celsius fall weather, no problem (feelers removed)

I've been considering the Ninga 1000SX as a replacement for my 20 year old Honda Blackbird and having watched your video I'm sure I would be impressed with this bike. I must book a test ride!😀

Very nice. How did you manage to record the sound with hardly any wind noise? I have even tried (with Tascam DR 05X) placing external lapel mic with dead cat under the mudguard, but it picks up a lot of chain noise. It even picks up wind when I place it in the helmet. Any hits and tricks would be very welcome
