[MigSuk37]

@stalkersham technically, the Kawasaki is better and looks much better.

[stalkersham]

z1000sx or fz1n??

plz help me to chose the right bike...

sori for my bad english

[KatoomDriver17]

@stalkersham z1000sx

[fotokitdirect]

"Flat bars, mirrors". Well yeah, mirrors is quite normal on a road bike.

[highskyeagle]

what the point of the mini windshield?

[371jon]

I'd like to talk to an englishmen and ask him to simply speak the letter z..then we will all have an answer

[371jon]

why do all british people say z like zed

[aluisious]

@371jon Because it's called zed in most other English speaking countries.

[371jon]

@aluisious I just don't understand. There are not two other letters in the letter Z

[aluisious]

@371jon There's no u in w either. Don't be thick.

[371jon]

@aluisious Clearly. But as you can see in my comment, I was simply asking what makes someone say zed when it is clearly not english. Obviously the people responding to my comments are not competent enough to answer my questioning. There is no need for rudeness.

[JohnDoeNext]

@371jon why do you suck cocks?

[371jon]

@JohnDoeNext Are you 10 years old faggot?

[JohnDoeNext]

@371jon nope. im just pointing out that you're an ignorant Fuck! Not everyone's american in the world you know? now suck on it!

[371jon]

@JohnDoeNext I realize not everyone in the world is not American. Precisely why I posted a comment. It seems everyone on youtube who isn't an American is a prick however.

[JohnDoeNext]

@371jon now you're generalizing and again you proved your ignorance.

[JonTheChron]

@371jon Zed is the French pronunciation for the letter Z, paniers is also a french word.

[371jon]

@JonTheChron thank you for providing an proper response to my comment, unlike the rest.

[JonTheChron]

Awl that salkt gunna make yer bike rust reel quik..

[nebulabob]

The kawasaki motor was not used in any previous bikes,it was designed from scratch specifically for the 3rd Gen Z1000 in 2010.

[ylism]

Why play the music when riding, We, or I want to hear the bikes sounds. I wan't to know why it's being called a ZED 1000 instead of Z 1000, Or Zulu 1000, Zed stopped being used after WW-1 then it was Zebra to 1959, Then Zulu. There must be some really old bike riders out there.lol

[richardiriley3]

I test both. Both are great but the Yam is far better made and finished

[AIBETTSYIA75]

Im sorry but that Kwaks visor is so horrible

[escozlive]

This guy is retarded, worst review ive ever seen... what a waste of 3 mins of my life...

[Alucardgo]

That hurt the bike 2:32

[OverXn]

I agree this was a poor review. MCN has some very good reviewing of other bikes in similar format. This one review skimmed of the surface and did not compare the bikes effectively.

[lamilumag]

let's wait for the big bang fazer in 2012 (hopefully coming -> 1st gen: 2001, 2nd gen: 2006, 3rd gen: 201?)

[y84k]

That review was horrible considering it came from a professional motorcycle org. All I learned was that you can fit a helmet in the saddle bags, one bike is cheaper, but the older technology and more expensive bike is "a lot more powerful"...

[gees76]

ye that was so bad!!!! thanks for Not shedding any light on what ever is was you where trying to do.......

[Delrada]

This is the weakest, most amateur report I have ever seen. Shame on you MCN.

[pt9826]

To buy either one of the bike ....this man did not convince me at all . ...

[danthefour]

After testing the B-king and the z1000sx coming from a gsxr1000k7 i bought the z1000sx, its a market filler imo,a tourer thats as sporty a it can be, its on the limit of the catagory 15 insurance. Build quality is realy good compared to suzukis rust buckets (you cant beat honda on that aspect though, built to last) This bike is perfect if you want to reduce you're insurance coz you got caught one time >< and dont want to sacrifice too much power, on paper its 136-8hp but it feels very agile.

[panichrossi]

Fazer is beter bike, and faster, expesialy in turn

[hunganhhungem]

kawasaki win

[SkateparkProduction]

kawasaki z1000sx...what a good bike...its my favourite..

[lagubrok92]

ummmm.....Are the side box doen't get afectted by the hot air from the exaust???

[CaptainTurkeyGiblets]

Nah, you all got it wrong.He`s bored because he has to chat to everyone here when he would rather just be out riding a nice bike.

[jblue2000]

Great Review! Exactly to the point..

[jerseyy]

whats the top speed of this bike??

[grunlowen]

Nice! I have a 2002 FZ1, and really like it. Not super crazy about the new FZ1 though. If I was buying a bike today, I'd probably go with the Z1000. What the video didn't say is that the Z1000 has almost the same horsepower, and it tops out at a lower rev (10k vs. 11k for the FZ1). The Z1000 also has more torque. If you are looking for more info, BIKE UK magazine has a nice review as well (think they may be the same guys).

[Rhunyen]

As a 1st gen FZ1 rider, I must say the new Ninja 1000 has me drooling -- though I'll skip the panniers version. I do think the 2nd gen FZ1 is pretty, but not so great, hence why I own the older carbureted model even though it too is a bit long in the tooth and soft until you mod it a bit. If I were buying right now it'd be the Ninja 1000.

[NZsarge1]

I like both these bikes, the Kawasaki is more up to date unsurprisingly as that model (shape) FZ1 was launched in 2006. It needs an update now and i'm hoping that the next one will have a big bang R1 based engine tuned more for torque.

[ercoman53]

Wish i had his job,smiling +clicking my heels every morning going to work..VICTOR MELDREW creeping in there...

[MegaGoRex]

he s bored because he have to drive motorbikes in the snow

[grahamzx9r]

@BelievingLion Your dead right mate, its a bit like skiing when there is no snow, yes you can do it but it is pointless

[billynightmare]

so fucking mcn, first plug anyhting for $, then get the most boring, grumpy old bastard to review it.

[keldorn]

this guy always sounds bored to death wtf

[chrissme333]

@keldorn

of course he´s bored. He is a touring guy riding the kawasaki

[JakeD0ggs]

@keldorn He's a propper Englishman, 'ol chap 8-)

[JonTheChron]

@keldorn well yeah, hes like fuck i gotta review but i cannot ride because its winter -_-

[EliteGamer001]

no adverts no YouTube.

[powersliding]

nice review

[BuzzDyou]

Ja! when you said 10,399 pounds, I thought there is no f@#%ng way it weighs 5 tons, then I realized he's a Brit, and meant money.. duh! Well, how much do they weigh? I'm guessing under 1000 #'s or there abouts..lat'r Buzz

[danvonnewman]

@BelievingLion Use my R1 as a commuter and rode through the snow last year no problem upto 2 inchs at work

[Picullus]

Nothing cooler than a 6" stove pipe hanging off the side ... really who designs this crap and what drugs are they using?

[azntranc3951]

fuck the adverts. and fuck the adverts for being so much louder than the video.

[adfadfewfrewafawefaw]

fuckin commercials i swear to god

[Asiansensations1]

@adfadfewfrewafawefaw

Adblock = win ?

[gixxer450]

@adfadfewfrewafawefaw It's wat keeps youtube free

[pirate19791979]

Fazer look terrible, who the hell designed that ?

kawasaki ftw !

[adman321]

kawasaki ftw!

[krismanto86]

Goooooooo !!!!!!!!! Yamaha....

[juicerock718]

Kawasaki totally hit the nail with the Z1000sx. You get a little of everything in one bike and it's also beautiful. The Fazer just looks blend and old.

[stgrzegorz]

Yamaha Forever!

[select899]

Fazer looks more aggressive then the kawak, and for that reason alone i'd buy the yamaha

[tonicroatia]

nice review, i don't like the looks of kawasaki but it is much better bike than yamaha which is due for a change its been more than a few years since it came out

[marcus93hawk]

anyone make motorcycle tyre chains?

[masterknaster]

@marcus93hawk chains wouldn't work but i've seen tyres with spikes.

[CrockettRockett88]

I liked the format of this interview. Short, to the point. Good ending conclusion. Thanks!

[MrBradbox]

That Kawasaki looks lovely. Knocks the Yamaha for 6.

Anyone reckon they'll do a Z600 version?

[HibridOPT]

@MrBradbox Don't think so.. They have the 750 version...

[justpresstwoforawhil]

@MrBradbox I think a z600 would virtually be a ninja 650R - er6f. It would be cool though and probably would be an upgrade form the 650.

[asmith929]

I read somewhere that classed the kawi the best (like ducati) Id call it a street fighter tourer !

[willindahouse]

Me cago en los putos anuncios!!!!1

[screemin187]

Thank God, a good review for Kawasaki without Triumph being mentioned!

[GOBbluthagain]

let it snow !! woo hoo

[urnzwayzmoove]

What's that white stuff?

[klrbiker]

I like the definate winner. Wild snow riding, looks scary!

[MrTwelveoclock]

what is nacho's?

[edhawk21]

glad the weather hasn't stopped your reviews :-)

[elementlead1]

If it was very similar to the slabby heavyweight vfr1200 honda in its shape and style then I wouldn't be interested. No, its alot more similar to sportsbike styling taking cues from the zx10r and zx6r. Also thats why in the states its being sold as the ninja 1000.

[jtomos]

"Its newest competitor is Y FZ1."

Uhum. And what about the Triumph Sprint GT? Why not compare with that? It seems to be more reasonable than comparing it to a 4 yrs old model.

[Motorradfahrer1000]

Looks cold! Brrrrr..........

[DTProductions188]

..is that snow? ^_^
