The Kawasaki Ninja 1000 SX is one of my all time favourite bikes, but there's another bike in the Kawasaki lineup that flies under the radar and may actually give many riders the excitement they're looking for all while saving some cash in purchase price and insurance rates. Which one is right for you? That's what I try to help you answer in this video.

I own the Z900 SE now. Absolutely love it! But the 1000SX is still on my list.

I hear ya!! Bought one of those myself a few months ago. Big upgrade from Ninja 650! Enjoy the ride!

Just picked up a 2024 Z900 today. Had a Ninja 1000 before, and it was a great bike overall, but the Z900 is a gentleman's hooligan bike 100%.

Owned both... The Ninja 1000sx is hands down superior in every way! The tuned, upgraded Z900 is a lot of fun! But that 1000sx package is a dream come true!

Depends on what type of super

I've been looking for a comparison on these bikes for 2 weeks. Perfect timing. Bought the 900 2 weeks ago but still interested in the 1000

Thanks for the comparison. 👍🏽 well done! I’ve always felt as if even though refined, the sx1000 was boring to ride whereas the z900 was not the best at anything in its class with barely no extra perks (cruise control, up and down quickshifter, tracking control,etc.) which irks me a lot, but I could be wrong 😑

I own a Ninja 1000SX 2024 model. Would like to point out that the rider mode is available on the 1000SX, you will need to enter the settings menu and it can be turned on and off. (Hold down on the reset button to access the settings) Great review on both bikes!

I thought it was available on that bike! Thanks for reminding me about that setting. I had forgotten about that.

If you want to tour on Z900 you will need taller windshield. Best one is available from Kawasaki. I tried aftermarket and it made buffeting so bad it was not rideable. Ninja has the advantage of better windshield from factory and longer wheelbase for faster rides it’s more stable. Same with fairings… will make bike aerodynamic. Most importantly: ninja optional luggage is the biggest advantage. I did get Givi sidebags for my z900 and it was a royal pain to find and fairly expensive. And if you have tail tidy on your bike the factory turn signals will interfere with the luggage on the Z so you will have to replace your tail light with integrated turns….if you decide to get the 900 For touring go with the SE model as it’s easier to adjust the rear suspension to accommodate the weight of your luggage and passenger. Cruise control is a very nice option on ninja. Another aftermarket add on that’s a must is quickshifter. Consider it. Worth the cost.

Do they both have a standard key, or does the 1000 have the KPAS fob? I have an 18 Concours and I'm not a fan of the fob....

Both have standard keys still.

@@teej1987compare specs including weight I’m not defending Yamaha or knocking Kawasaki the specs speak for themselves, again being a Kawasaki homer if I was buying a bike as this time it would be the Yamaha even with that ugly headlamp. I really hope Kawasaki steps it up which probably won’t happen but one can hope.
