@@SchaafGreetings from the USA. I honestly didn’t know that GoPro footage in 2020 could be so stable. You’re not only an excellent rider but you really mastered the GoPro as well. I’m looking to do something similar on my Honda Gold Wing (it won’t be as exciting as yours) because it has excellent exhaust notes. There was absolutely NO WIND noise. I hope that ppl realize that you made the perfect video & did so at a time when it was much harder than even 4 years later. Did you mount a microphone near the exhaust? Thank you & congrats on a beautiful video.
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.
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!
DUDE!!!! THANK YOU for making this video. You are the FIRST person I have seen on RUclips riding the 1000 SX like a sports bike. And I have watched ALL the videos on line showcasing this bike. Thank you, thank you, thank you for filming yourself riding the bike like it was designed to be ridden.
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.
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 !
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.
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 !
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.
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 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 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 🙂
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!
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.....
Oh I enjoyed this. Loved the sights and the sound, particularly when the throttle was opened wide and the revs rose high the first time. It was like I was back on my Suzuki GS750 on some certain roads that shall remain nameless, in New South Wales, Australia, back in the early 1980s. Sigh. I had to sell the bike and stop riding altogether when I developed a repetitive strain injury in my right elbow, making controlling the throttle while riding a real pain, even though I still loved it. The riding that is, not the pain. This Ninja 1000sx is a real temptress - particularly as its cruise control would possibly help me to avoid a recurrence of the dreaded RSI, but not so much on roads like this. Thank you!
Awesome! I've once met a guy who also had issues with his right arm so he got his bike modified to have the throttle on the left side!! I certainly did not know this was possible!!
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 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.
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 🙂👍
please please make a video on 2 stroke sports bikes, my favorite one was the Aprilia rs250, i miss 2 strokes, raw footage on 2 stroke bikes will be awesome
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 :-)
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.
I have a 2018, too. I live in the USA but Im from Spain. Mine has a full exhaust and its tuned, along with Dunlop q3+, in 190/55/17. I got the best of both world in my opinion. A bike you can put +500 km a day with no problem and an awesome handling machine with an awesome engine
Mine is essentially stock and runs the 190/55 rear. I never remove the hardcases, they remain attached even for mountain and canyon riding. Dave Moss set me up for this configuration and I love it!
Not by him, but I had my suspension tuned, too. Its day and night and what you said, the bike is good in any kind of road and any kind of riding. Stay safe!
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!😀
@@Schaaf Thanks for the tip. I shall have to decide with a test ride. I'm hoping there might soon be some good deals on the current Ninja 1000SX as an updated model is due in December.
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!
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.
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?
Schaaf, here in the USA we had tee shirts with "If Harley made an airplane would you fly in it?" Now if that airliner was built by Kawasaki I give you a different answer!
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!!
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!!
Old man experience here - pay off that debt as soon as possible. Bikes can come later and there’ll always be newer more interesting model to choose from.
@@Paulie44 Thanks for the encouragement and advice! Debt stinks for sure. Advice to everyone out there, keep it positive, and keep your eyes on the prize, and you will get there one day if you are driven enough. I am grateful for your upload, fellow rider!! Can't get enough of this engine.

amazing bike, amazing road. May I ask where this road is located? I just bought a Ninja 1000sx and would like to ride this road. Thank you very much for your answer.
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 ^^
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😁😁😁
@@Schaaf auf keinen Fall, sie ist Bombe & ich liebe sie🥰🥰🥰 Hab sie seit 2-Wochen und die ersten 2.000km sind schon drauf😄 War auch schon Puchnstubn damit ballern😆 Bin echt begeistert wie man mit ihr anrauchen kann und genauso gemütlich cruisen 🏍✊🏻💨 Danke dir nochmals, du hast deinen Teil zu meiner Kaufentscheidung beigetragen 😊 Schöne Grüße aus Mödling 😉🤙🏽
Thanks for the excellent vid. Regarding the ABS comment it has to do with the IMU. Depending on angle, it cuts the strength of the ABS, or triggers it early. It’s my next bike to replace my large GTR. Btw.. well done on covering your levers. So many riders don’t cover their levers..
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)
The ZX it’s a great bike , but when riding aggressive we always need to keep in mind the extra weight and increase braking distance from something like a ZX10R, apart from that it’s a decent sport bike 👍 I would love to see a RAW with an Aprillia Dorsoduro 900, I am considering buying one 😅
I have a lot of respect for these...a proper sports-tourer. This or an R1250RS? If anyone finds any bike or camera gear in the bushes next to an awesome bit of road...wait ten minutes and Schaaf will be there 👍
@@Schaaf clever way to get rid of bags for fast rides. Too bad I had to get rid of some fecal matter that same day. That bush looked comfortable for taking a shit. I'm sorry for the stains on your green bags

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?
thanks man. It does!
Schaaf, here in the USA we had tee shirts with "If Harley made an airplane would you fly in it?" Now if that airliner was built by Kawasaki I give you a different answer!
Hahaha spot on!
Kawasaki does have aerospace business and build airplanes.
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!!
Kawasaki is my favorite brand !!!! (ZX12R owner here 😁)
Awesome!
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.
yea!
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!!
Old man experience here - pay off that debt as soon as possible. Bikes can come later and there’ll always be newer more interesting model to choose from.
@@Paulie44 Thanks for the encouragement and advice! Debt stinks for sure. Advice to everyone out there, keep it positive, and keep your eyes on the prize, and you will get there one day if you are driven enough. I am grateful for your upload, fellow rider!! Can't get enough of this engine.
amazing bike, amazing road. May I ask where this road is located? I just bought a Ninja 1000sx and would like to ride this road. Thank you very much for your answer.
Krass, wusste gar nicht, dass die Kawas jetzt auch schon nen Blipper haben. Nice!
Jawohl!
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 ^^
Thanks man! Enjoy your SX!
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😁😁😁
Du wirst es garantiert nicht bereuen!
@@Schaaf auf keinen Fall, sie ist Bombe & ich liebe sie🥰🥰🥰
Hab sie seit 2-Wochen und die ersten 2.000km sind schon drauf😄
War auch schon Puchnstubn damit ballern😆
Bin echt begeistert wie man mit ihr anrauchen kann und genauso gemütlich cruisen 🏍✊🏻💨
Danke dir nochmals, du hast deinen Teil zu meiner Kaufentscheidung beigetragen 😊
Schöne Grüße aus Mödling 😉🤙🏽
top 5 1000SX vod. thanks.
Thanks
Thanks for the excellent vid. Regarding the ABS comment it has to do with the IMU. Depending on angle, it cuts the strength of the ABS, or triggers it early.
It’s my next bike to replace my large GTR.
Btw.. well done on covering your levers. So many riders don’t cover their levers..
Thanks for the info!
😂 Perfect place to hide the panniers! In the green!
Exactly 🤣
Top quality content as always !!! Loved it.
Thanks
THANKS FOR SUCH A WONDERFUL RIDE
Glad you enjoyed it
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)
Nice!
Sound of the bike left everything behind 😉😁🏍️💨
;)
Great vid as always, thanks. It sounds pretty good for the standard can.
thanks
This is so satisfying to watch
thanks
The ZX it’s a great bike , but when riding aggressive we always need to keep in mind the extra weight and increase braking distance from something like a ZX10R, apart from that it’s a decent sport bike 👍 I would love to see a RAW with an Aprillia Dorsoduro 900, I am considering buying one 😅
That's why it's a sports touring bike :D
I like your style! lol
And as always, your Raws are always very welcome 😃👌
Thanks again
I have a lot of respect for these...a proper sports-tourer. This or an R1250RS?
If anyone finds any bike or camera gear in the bushes next to an awesome bit of road...wait ten minutes and Schaaf will be there 👍
Hahaha
I have a 2015 Ninja 1000 and the 2020 BMW 1250RS both are awesome bikes.
12:55
didn't know you worked for the austrian cartel ^^
Hahaha nice one
@@Schaaf clever way to get rid of bags for fast rides. Too bad I had to get rid of some fecal matter that same day. That bush looked comfortable for taking a shit. I'm sorry for the stains on your green bags
@@freshtomato834 It wasn't so bad. Fortunately you ate enough vegetables. Lol.
I have a 2015 Kawasaki Ninja 1000sx with a Black Widow exhaust. Beautiful sound without destroying your eardrums.
nice!!
Hey there... awsmmmmmmm video ... how’s the quick shifter specially the downshifts?..thanks🙌
It's good
