Hello everyone.
I have 2019 Kawasaki Ninja 400 as my first bike ride it for 3 years and love it, now I feel I need something more powerful and bigger for me.
So I do have some questions about it:
1. How often do you ride it and how comfortable it is? It my sound stupid but I want it as a daily ride, read a lot on web and most says that it's not comfortable for daily rides.
2. How comfortable is back seat for second rider? My girlfriend love to ride with me on my 400, just want to know will I need to change set for her? Or stock is good enough?
3. Long trips? Every week I am riding with my group for about 200-300 miles. Back will heart for sure but anyway is it that bad for long trips?

I want to get 2022 zx10r ABS KRT.
Love how it looks and drives, took it for test ride and get in love, but still can't decide if I should buy it.
My only aware is about comfortable riding.

Kind of a strange question only because comfort is subjective to a large degree. The ZX10R is supposed to be one of the more comfortable 1000's out there.

You can always make some changes if you find it too uncomfortable. You could get riser bars, thicker grips and a softer seat. By then you'd have a sport touring bike with 200hp. You'd be stuck with pretty high footpegs on the newest model since Johnny Rea advised the Kawasaki engineers to do so. On the other hand, if you have short legs maybe that wouldn't be a problem for you.

No 1000 sport bike is good for the passenger and your girl will freak out on it. She not getting the feeling that she'll fall off the back when you throttle the 400 but she will always feel like she's going to get dropped onto the pavement when you give it the beans on any 1000.

That's why I was thinking maybe to get Ninja 1000sx
