2015 Kawasaki Z1000 Streetfighter - let's call it a review...

[@stanziobro2830]

Owned a 2011 Ninja 1000. First year they came out with it. Torque from 2000rpm and up in any gear. No flat spots, no hiccups, just a bulletproof motor. Suspension was matched well with the bike. Brakes were strong. Really nothing bad you can say about it except that it went up $1000USD since 2011 and now.

[@jopaco85]

Ive just bought a 2021 model and have to say after riding Ducati Monsters for years this is a real treat. Everything is easy and the power!..holy shit.

[@KutWrite]

Fun ride... you seem expert and safe. I'm looking at a used one.

[@matteom.6655]

Wonderful manga-bike !!! I like so much that almost buy it.... ....also beautiful cars, Lamborghini beginning of the video and 3:47 Maserati Gt (I have a twin-turbocharged Maserati Ghibli). Very nice video, thanks from Italy.

[@iRevGrip]

+MaTteO M. Thanks buddy! Glad you liked it ;)

[@TheSaneRider]

Free play In the throttle can be adjusted very easily. Only takes 20 seconds tops to do

[@iRevGrip]

TheSaneRider Yupp, you got that right ;) Forgot to mention it in the edit, but couldn't be arsed to re-render it, just for that!

[@Paintbl99]

I love the green on these models. The z1000 body style is mean looking too. Great review!

[@northcountryriding3025]

The steering Damper may not be needed but that one looks like jewelry on the bike.I ride a 2014 Z1000 on my channel and my paint is called golden blaze green.

[@iRevGrip]

+JasonLisa Santamore Awesome buddy! The remember the paintjob was flawless on it! *fitsbump*

[@MrKitty-zv3dl]

You're right about the large dead zone in the throttle. When I bought my 2012 Z1000 it had way too much slop and I adjusted it to zero. The feel and responsiveness was a huge difference. All I can figure is that they put the slop in the throttle for people with less experience maybe? Easy 5 min fix.

[@iRevGrip]

+Tony Patalano For sure - zero deadzone is a must. Fortunately, the throttle on my s1000RR hade zero deadzone from factory, and is smooth/light as a babys butt! :)

[@king100prozent]

It's a beautiful bike, i have the 2006 model and i love it! But i love the looks of the new models (since 2014)

[@iRevGrip]

+FunVideos Germany Lovely ride indeed!

[@Ricardo-ns5hl]

I have the exact same bike... its the love of my life... Im never gonna get rid of it

[@eggsaladactyl]

+Ricardo Ceron Same...except I have the green/metallic grey color. The burnt orange is absolutely amazing. My Ninja 650 was the burnt orange color I would've loved to get the same color for my Z1000.

[@Ricardo-ns5hl]

eggsaladactyl Well as long as I know, when I bought mine they offerder me the different collors, but the orange one was like 700 more expensive... so I was like Humm

[@JojoCrazyCat]

Looking at one at bike shop for 10.800, is it worth it? %0 miles on it. It sets a Little low, Thats good for me sense im short. But im still on my toes. I love the double headlights. The color i found was switched. The green is in the middle, and the black is on the outside. and is a solid black one also. i also sat one a FZ 09. I didnt like the way it feels. Dont like the way the headlight looks ether. oops i was wrong. Its the 2016. Thats why the color is different.

[@Wabbit1961]

Concentric adjustment for the chain makes it easier to adjust than normal. Just loosen it up and click both sides a couple times and tighten it back up.If I were you I'd get Akropovic exhaust for your bike.

[@ONEBADZ]

I've got the Akrapovic 4 into 1 on mine. Pretty nice sound and look with the single exit.

[@PNW_Sportbike_Life]

Top contender for my next bike. This or the Ninja 1K. Fun vid man!

[@iRevGrip]

+scooterdavis Thanks buddy! The 2016 z1000 with the Darkgrey/Red theme is just awesome looking! GL with your decision mate :)

[@Discodj99]

i see you live in sweden or are in sweden recording this. nice to see vlogs from sweden :) i live here as well :)

[@iRevGrip]

Thanks buddy! Where are you located? We need more english speaking motovloggers in Scandinavia for sure! The scenery is awesome here, so I think there's potenial for a great community.

[@Discodj99]

iRev Grip thx for responding. im in norrköping. i dont have a bike yet but i gonna save cash for a driver license then get a bike next year. where you located shelf?

[@Discodj99]

***** yea my government is not me. okey second we cant just vote to stop imigration okey or kick them out. its the people who vote each 18 years if im not wrong. on who is gonna be next big sort of boss in the goverment, so its not just 1 guy that runs it its about 12 more politcan groups and all of them need to aggre to something befor it can happend.

[@jacob914k]

iRev Grip Hey buddy.. do you know what kind of steering damper was installed on it? I have the same bike and I couldn't find many options for it. Thanks

[@iRevGrip]

Jacob K I think the damper was branded "CNS" or "CSN" I can't remember exactly. Good luck buddy!

[@entitykeeper8869]

How did you adjust the mirrors? Do your feet fit on the pegs without being pushed up by the lack of clearance by the exhaust?

[@iRevGrip]

Sean Wallace They have both a swivel in the base and the mirrors themself can be adjusted inside the cover. Didn't have any problems with pegs/exhaust alignment :)

[@JackSwatman]

You getting the magic red stick fitted to the s1000?

[@iRevGrip]

JackSwatman Yup, will probably install it this week-end! *fistbump*

[@therealmrcheese]

Whats this magical mistical red stick tho speaks of? Lol.. but seriously what is it?

[@theincrediblesulk5543]

Good vid, how did you find the seat height and weight of the bike in terms of moving it around off the bike? Any heat off it in slow town traffic?

[@iRevGrip]

The Incredible Sulk I was riding it during a 12-15c day, so I didn't really feel any heat off the engine or frame at all. Seat height is probably an issue for shorter riders, standing at 32,1inch - although it wasn't any problem for me. I could flatfoot it with no issue. With a lowering kit of some sort, it should be manageable for shorter riders as well, considering it is easy to handle weight wise for a 1000cc street bike.

[@iRevGrip]

6Ft or 181cm :)

[@desmoface]

Thanks for the review. Would you choose this over the cb1000r?

[@iRevGrip]

+desmoface Between those two rides, I would choose the CB1000R ;)

[@Herzankerkreuz67]

+iRev Grip Hi fellow biker ! Here's the story..... I had a 2014 Z1000 for two days to test it out...., did roughly 500 kilometers but honestly couldn't make up my mind since my heart beats for the Honda cb1000r . Unfortunately here in Costa Rica I could only get on by special order... That for I would really appreciate why you would rather choose the Honda over the Kawa in your opinion? Have you ridden one before ? Cheers

[@thomasvideoogjakt]

Are you from/in Sweden?? I'm Norwegian by the way! Any way, cool bike :)

[@enzoleitesingi]

Really nice reviiew, thank you

[@iRevGrip]

enzoleitesingi Thanks buddy, appreciated and happy you liked it! *fistbump*

[@TheSamuraiRonin]

Gear indicator? Hazards? How is the wind on this bike?

[@iRevGrip]

TheSamuraiRonin No gear indicator in the display as standard, if that's what you ask? Wind was tolerable, didn't ride it that much on the freeway tho - it wasn't windy at all the day I rode it, needs to be said. As with all naked streetbikes, you feel the wind much easier on the chest/helmet - which can strain your neck pretty easy on far distances :)

[@CSOINFINITY]

Oh jävlar, du är ju från sundsvall!! haha

[@CSOINFINITY]

Are you swedish?

[@iRevGrip]

***** Norwegian, but I live in Sweden ;)

[@CSOINFINITY]

I saw that, sundsvall :)

[@lord1999ful]

gear indicator?

[@90julian90]

Nice vid m8, Can u help me out with the song name in the intro?

[@iRevGrip]

Vikingenes Ferd Sure - it's "Fade by Alan Walker" :)

[@julsindriago]

iRev Grip Bro, it's not too hot on the right side?

[@iRevGrip]

Julio César Indriago Gauna Naw :)

[@Stevengoldaua]

Hi buddy, it's currently winter over here and christmas holidays, that's why there's a little break in the video feed :) I will resume as soon as the spring is here mate. I might edit and upload content of material from previous season tho *fistbump*

[@2cool0]

whats up with the aventador?

[@iRevGrip]

2cool0 It's a Lamborghini Huracán ;) I knew it was parked up there over the night before a show - so I had to take a few shots of it.

[@2cool0]

iRev Grip damn is it? it looks a lot like the aventador......maybe the aventador is longer.

[@iRevGrip]

2cool0 Aventador got a fatter ass, larger sidepods, larger front pods and is a bit longer yes ;) www.autoevolution.com/news/lamborghini-comparison-huracan-vs-aventador-87011.html

[@2cool0]

iRev Grip haha yeah I looked at it again it looks smaller than I thought I saw it to be the first time

[@nogvideosaleatorios2722]

What’s sound ?

[@dumbcat]

Many dealers send new sports bikes out with play in the throttle so riders don't hurt themselves. Easily adjusted.

[@iRevGrip]

+Hans Zarkov Indeed :)

[@itsenzo2570]

What song is that?

[@iRevGrip]

ForeZter 189 I can't recall where I am atm, but I've mentioned it in a comment on one pf my other videos, if you care to check ;)

[@itsenzo2570]

K

[@iRevGrip]

ForeZter 189 If you haven't found this song yet, it is: Fade by Alan Walker

[@itsenzo2570]

Oo thanks

[@Szymek1Os]

Intro sound pls?

[@iRevGrip]

Fade by Alan Walker

[@davidsquarepants1256]

[@fredblogsmac.5697]

[@MrKitty-zv3dl]

+brian king Yeah you're right, she's a thirsty lady when ya make her dance. I get much better mileage just cruising around, but that's not what she's made for.

[@fredblogsmac.5697]
