In Switzerland, we put the two sports tourers from Kawasaki up against each other: while the Ninja H2 SX SE with its supercharged heart and radar system marks the peak of the sports tourer, the Ninja 1000 SX knows how to impress with completely different virtues. Mex and Philipp work out the similarities and major differences for you.

It's so refreshing to hear balanced discussions which actually consider price. Not like the drivel from British testers. Keep up the great work chaps

I’ve just bought the exact same ninja 1000 sx tourer this is my 3rd one now from a 2016 Z1000 sx 21 ninja and now my new one absolutely fantastic bikes from Kawasaki excellent road manners for touring and a blast at the weekends 👍🏍️

I've owned a 2012 Ninja 1000 SX and I currently own a 2021 Z H2. I can say without a doubt for an everyday bike the 1000 SX can't be beat. Still one of if not my favorite bike I've ever owned and I've had a lot. Been riding since 1992. My Z H2 doesn't have the body work or the radar of the H2 SX but with a ECU tune, exhaust, and air filter, the H2 family is unbeatable for fun. My bike currently has 227 hp at the wheel with 101 ft./lbs of torque. Side note for those interested in the H2 SX there is currently no ECU flash available for the 2022 and newer. So if you want one and wish to tune it you will need to find a 2018-2021 H2 SX.

I currently own a 22 1000sx. The frame feels small and feels slow . Would the h2 be an upgrade or just bragging rights? Iv been riding for 35 ish years . 5'11 240 lbs no desire to track

@Supercharged1976 3 күн бұрын

@@davidhollman34 Z H2 is not as comfy and no wind protection. The H2 SX would be an upgrade but may feel too big compared to the Ninja 1000. Just be aware if you're planning on getting an H2 family bike to tune and filter the H2 SX 22'-current can not be flashed as one is not available for them yet. You would need a 18'-21' for a ECU flash.

@apox5308 2 ай бұрын

I owned both bikes and agree completely with the review. They are both very different bikes and there are bits from the 1000sx that I miss when riding the H2 SX like the simplicity of the engine, lighter handling, analogue feel, ability to use all the power most of the time, but the H2 SX when on the move is like an experience on another level and that won it over for me in the end. When you get to 8k on the H2 is literally leaves the 1000sx for dead and it takes a while to adjust to. It’s so fast that you physically can’t use full throttle until you’ve planned ahead and really got yourself ready for it. The handling in the H2 is very good considering its size and weight you can lean and handle it quite close in comparison to the 1000sx. As a touring machine the H2 SX is better all rounder

I've ridden the 1000SX and it's a really great bike for the money. I was a bit disappointed by the electronics and the display. Suspension and cornering is great. Also the engine is great. Finally I chose the bmw S1000XR that's just a more premium bike

@escanor9920 8 күн бұрын

The S1000XR more premium than the H2SXSE !? 🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣 You clearly don't know much about bikes and apparently you're more into "showing off" with a brand than riding... Kawasaki is light years away (and better of course) than BMW when it comes to reliability ! And the H2SXSE absolutely don't have to blush when it comes to power, especially with its compressor. You may like the BMW better and I can respect that, but it will never be more premium than a Japanese bike and especially not the H2 (equipped with brembo stylema etc).

Man that’s a hard decision to make! Either one of these bikes could be amazing! The one problem I have with the 1000Sx is its weight and side and it’s a much bigger problem with the H2. I’ll stick with the 1000sx for a few years until more upgrades come to both bikes.

I purchased the 1000sx not long ago at all. I saw it as a 4 cylinder naked bike with a little wind protection. Having owned the gsxs1000f and zx14r (owned both at the same time) this is the perfect medium. I absolutely love it! Better than my Suzi purely down to the throttle smoothness. Better than the 14r down to comfort. Slower than both, but still way too fast for me and the road. My narrowed down list when searching was (considering I wanted to add a 4 cylinder bike to my collection) 1000sx, gsxs1000 and ninja400zzr. Even though the 1000sx cost more and wasn’t as fun which and maybe lacks character, it really has everything. I got the exhaust, luggage and heated grips. Now it’s perfect for all road occasions. Weekend, daily commute and touring. The suspension is just wow for all three things. Much more forgiving on rough roads than the other 2, while still smashing my expectations in the corners. It is a special bike. The only thing to some is it may lack character when compared to other bikes. The bike also looks much better in real life. I personally would never use the power of the H2 on the street nor would I ever pay the price. But I would really love to experience it. Yes, I’m jealous of all you people who have. The same story for anything that isn’t Japanese which limits the bike that I’ve owned, but that’s what I stubbornly value.

@blackk1UK 2 ай бұрын

Both are great bikes and either would be a great choice but the H2 SX SE can do things the 1000SX can only dream of. Yes the H2 SX SE is more expensive but you only live once and what is money for if not to buy the better things in life. I had a new H2 SX SE in 2019 and have just taken delivery of a '24 H2 SX SE. There really is nothing else that gets close to delivering what that bike delivers.

I disagree with the naked comparison for the 1000sx. It's frame is derived from a zx10r as is its engine. I own one that's got every single ad on youcan imagine. (Glad I don't live in Switzerland😂). It's quite a nice bike.

@escanor9920 8 күн бұрын

I think you're right but perhaps he made the comparison with a naked because of the "elevated" handlebar (like a naked) on the SX with a more upright position compared to the H2SXSE who seems to have a sportbike handlebar.
