I think I’ve become a fan of Kawasaki! 😄
Have you seen the video from revzilla comparing the k5 gsxr to the new v4 pinagale?! Gsxr k5 still a beast!!
@@j.chenmuas Yes! That was crazy to see an older GSXR do rather sell against a newer bike such as the Panigale on the track.
Think ive become a Kawasaki fan boy.....goes and buys an MT10 😂
@@adamstratford6740 Hahaha! I didn’t say I wanted to buy one! I just like them now. 😄
@@itsmeericb haha only joking bro hey I’m a huge Kawasaki fan boy and i ride an Aprilia 😂
I have a 2018 zx10r. The bike is awesome. It's pretty docile from 0 to 8k. From 8k up, it's monster. I like it because you can just cruise around if you'd like, but the bike rewards you with a onslaught of power if you ring it out a bit. My only gripe with the bike is a lack of a fuel gauge.
Dead on with what you said. You can cruise at low speed but it will scream when you open it up. Yes anything newer these days should have a fuel gauge. Haha!
It has a fuel use tracker so you can basically use it instead of a fuel gauge. Thats what i do at least. However an actual real time remaining fuel capacity would have been much better
So basically every bike ever lol people make it seem like 1000s are impossible to ride low speed my gosh
@@MADLITS1K that's not what I was trying to say. I just know that a lot of older 1000s powerband sat lower in the rpm band making them a little twitchier. That can be intimidating to some. No one said they're impossible to ride.
I had a 13 and hated it for that. Got my ass whooped by old ass cbr f4is lmao. Cause the gearing is so retarded long on these.. I like how the transmission is easily removable.. I don't like how kawis just eat motors.
I’ve always been a fan of the ninjas, but DAMN. That is my dream bike
They messed up the style on the newer ones 😑
@@wildingnemo5869 lmfao
I love the snarl on that thing. The 2021 model has the new TFT display. It must be so hard to get a new one and crawl through the factory break-in period.
Snarl is an understatement !! They growl like an angry psycho bitch fucking amazing!
Nice video brother. I've driven those same roads daily and you make it look amazing. Keep up the good work and I can't wait to see the next one.
Thanks man I appreciate it! 😃
Bought my 2015 ZX10R New.
I never looked back.💚
@ItsmeEric love this video man thanks for sharing sir.be safe out there!🙏
Nice vid man! Always have been a low key fan of kawasaki. I need to ride one of these soon lol.
Thanks!
Have a 2014 10r... It is a beast from 7000 and up
I ride the 18' zx10rse. ECU flash with all the goodies on it. Makes 197 at the wheel. Straight monster! Absolutely love it past 8k rpm.
Mine too love my 18 zx10r best 👌 bike 🏍
I had a friend who was getting 207 at the wheel
Did you install any exhaust system from outside?
Love my 2016 krt. Really want to try one of the new Ducatis but I think this is my last “sport” bike. Love em all
14 months left before i have got big enough license for this cant wait.stuck on a 2cylinder mt07 (not bad but not screaming inline 4) looks so nice to ride and i sat on one and completely understand exactly what you mean about the seating. I felt like it was apart of me which i look for in bikes if it doesn’t feel stable around my legs im not interested because i ride quick.
My favorite looking bike hands down
Love your take on all biles
I have the same 2018 bike in mat fusion silver. Absolutely unbelievable machine !! Very easy to ride considering the power the bike has.Yes the bike is a top end monster but my god it does absolutely pull like a freight train. My bike has incredible acceleration so I cant understand how others say it has nothing down low. The mid range punch will throw you off the back if youre not careful. Your review on this bike is excellent and spot on. I purchased my bike after seeing your review. Keep up the good work mate. I live in Australia.
Maybe cbr has more pull during mid than this monster even tho it still has good mid
@its me Eric man great video thank you sharing man you be safe out there I love that bike brother .
I have the 2008 3rd gen model. Will definitely be looking at the 2017/18 model in a couple of years time 😍
Gsxr low ,mid kill the zx but it doesnt stand a chance top end.i have a 19 and they are even faster once flashed...and bro...plz shift closer to redline next time to feel more of the power.great review
I thought he was short-shifting it as well. I have 4th gen ZX10R.
Yeah man he says “I’ve heard it’s a top end monster” then revs to like 9,800 rpm 😂
Hey bro great content! Keep it up! Just subscribed to your channel! 🤙🤙
Thanks! 😊
Awesome video man! I’m actually not a big fan of Kawas but this one attracts me as hell 😍.. I’ll definitely put it on my list
Subscribed ✅
Thanks! Yeah I was never a fan of Kawasaki either and after riding a ZX-10R and ZX-6R I like them.
i got 2016 ZX10R, the best bike i have ever ride
Great video, awesome tune at 1:47 please tell me the name and artist...
Awesome video man .
its crazy im in cali now and was stationary at fort polk 4 years and can tell right off the bat thats Alex highway !!!!
great road to open up on
Ayyye! 😃
Anxious to ride my first zx10r....had a ‘13 Zx6r and now recently bought my ‘20 Zx6r which I love
You’re gonna love it!
i use to not really pay attention to kawi when i rode dirtbikes but i gotta say i LOVED the zx10r i rode and my zx6r is a great bike too. keep up with maintenance and everything seems fine
🤘
Dream bike right there I like those models more then the new one
beast of a bike. Big fan of Kawasaki, looking at getting the SE model bit of a premuim but the suspension will make the bike alot more comfy
I got the 18' zx10rse. Can't tell you how much I love it. Put 18k miles on it so far in 1.5 years. It's flashed with all the goodies. 😈
beautiful colors
I literally just bought a 2018 Zx10R today 😂😂 I’m in loveeeeeeeeee
I have a 2018 , I just Adore the Machine. 🤗
I like how you keep it real
people rarely ever say much about Kawasaki and they never appealed to me much but this one in this exact color is SEXY!!!!!
@@Jason.cbr1000rr yes m3 bumper. Appreciate the compliment
Great video! It was funny to see you looking out for the cops on 28. New Sub.
😂🤷♂️ Thanks!
Dose any1 know if the 2019 or the 2020 version of this bike has an auto blipper?
Hell yeah, Eric!!!! 😁👍‼️‼️‼️‼️
😁
Hey bro going a great job .love your motovlogs reviews of superbike ❤❤❤👍👍👍 from PAKISTAN!!!!!!!
Thanks!
@@itsmeericb looking forward to do a detail review on Kawasaki ninja h2 2015 , 2016
I can't wait to get my first motorcycle. I'm saving up as we speak. Just watching videos of them sends my heart aflutter.
There is nothing like riding superports.
@@EyeForKnowledge.Amen to that!
If you are true, Imo you don't need to get anything bigger than a 600cc. Don't bother wasting money on a 250 or 300 "starter" bike. 600's are more agile, cheaper, more forgiving and 90% as fast as a 1000cc. It is that 10% that will kill new riders, you don't realize how things move at 140-160 and breaking distances until riding for atleast a year.
Bro, I remember exactly that feeling. And you know what? It never goes away lol. I get the same flutters just thinking about my ride home from work, after years of riding.
I have a 21 Ninja 400. When it’s time to upgrade I’m leaning towards a ZX-10R or the Ninja 1000sx. That ZX-10R looks and sounds amazing.
Go the zx10r, you wont be disappointed.
Gonna pick up a 2018 this weekend hopefully, this video solidifed my choice
🙌
got same bike love it ---- beast--- one up on rear sprocket helps lot ---
Kawa for life 💪
My next bike. Awesome review
Thanks! I think you’re gonna love it. 👍
you should try the gen 1...unreal
I have a 2019 zx10r love it, the fastest thing I ever been on.
How fast
@@thedragonofechigo7878 190mph I ran out of gear if geared will do well over 200
I'm so in love with mine I don't know the hell they were talking about about all that no power down low the zx10r is a rocket I won't ever ride anything else it puts my gsxr 1000 in the dust
Someone really needs to hire E.B to shoot their nxt commercial. That b roll drops in smooth🔥
😁🙏
Just bought a brand new 2020 ZX10R and it's full on lunacy , I couldn't be happier😋👍😎🇨🇦
I'm on a 2003 gsxr 1000 and its a monster. Will I like the 2021 zx10r as far as low end torque?
This has to be the most beautiful zx10r
I’m torn between this one and the latest generation 💪
I love the newer zx10r's look but my god that 2021 is a straight up eyesore lol. Kawi gives you a good amount of bike for the money, I've always hated the colorways though.....they need more red.
Yes I am surprised what you get for the money!
I'm not a fan of the styling but they pull 😹🔥
My 2009 was hard to wheelie given the high end crazy power. I want a new one!
Please elaborate. Was the throttle response jerky or what was the problem?
@@mohlomphehiIt has a crazy power band that just rips around 6k. It’s an amazing bike but hold on. I miss mine and would buy another in a heartbeat.
Hallo bro i like your bike and your video
I'm a 2018 MT09 owner and I'm planning to upgrade to ZX10R 2016 or BMW S1000RR 2016 or R1 2016 (not a fan of the exhaust sound though)... Which one would you recommend?
Well I’m not a fan of the way the older s1000’s look so zx10 for me. 😂
No bias shown at all. I respect it. Told you so . . . ;)
Haha! Can't knock it til you try it!
Does this come Stock with quickshifter and autoblipper??
Yes
Lol I can see the amazement when you let off throttle.
You left the best for last😁🥵👌
Of all the super sport bikes you've ridden, which would you recommend for a 6'5" rider? Which has the most peg to seat room or overall height?
Pretty sure the kawis are known for being good for bigger guys. Longer. The Yamahas are usually smaller, that's why all their fanboys are manlets 😆
Get on the ZX14R... the most comfy monster out there for big guys or little guys.
Nice video , you right zx10r it’s the beast, fastest 1000 😍
Fastest? Lol
@@MADLITS1K yes fastest 1000 lol sorry to burst your bubble.
@@adamwelles5502 doesn’t the H2 make more ...
@@MADLITS1K ok well besides the h2 lol and the h2 is another 10k so it doesn't count haha
@@adamwelles5502 haha fair enough. If we’re talking all motor 1000cc the zx10r is a monster upstairs but I saw a video of a gsxr 1000R wiping the floor against everything it went against, they’re underrated and slept on but these days all these 1000s are fairly close to each other.. that new CBR is giving hell too.. wish I had money to buy them all
What kind of double bubble screen is that I am very interested in the look of it
I believe it’s a Puig windscreen
Its all good to like what you like, gixxer life with me until I ride something else, because I haven't ridden anything else yet, always options out there. Good vid.
Yeah man the GXSR 1000s are no slouches!
I have a 2016 gen v zx10r. Only thing I don’t like AT ALL is the lack of the initial bite from the front break. At least with stock pads. I’m used to a very firm barely touch it bite. I’m sure it’s something I can change up with aftermarket pads but I love everything else!
How is the bike at low cruising speeds?
@@tyranfarmer1239 It’s chill. It really doesn’t get brutal until 8k rpm and up with stock gearing. Definitely can feel the weight and feels like a big bike. Hard to go 40 mph stably. It bounces from 37-46-44-39. It’s all over the place. Hard to modulate power.
@@adrenalinejunkie301 dang and here I was thinking it seemed pretty small! What bike to your knowledge feels smaller?
@@tyranfarmer1239 Well I’m 5’11 and I barely can flat foot it. They sell lowering links to help with that but I have stock ride height on mine. Tbh bud go to some dealerships and just sit on some different bikes. Everyone’s different! 💪🏾
@Adrenalinejunkie301 Oh wow! I'm 5'10 so yea would definitely be the same for but yeaa I thinking that too! I appreciate the info bud ✊🏾
That ZX10R is a Bad Ass Bike
Gen 3 zx10r
Im an Aprilia RSV4 man now, but love many of the ZX....R bikes and I must say Sir this, like the 2020 I love over the 2021. Don't know why they went with the 'open mouth blow up doll' look for next year
Haha! Yeah I’m not sure on the looks. I am glad they updated the dash to a nice display.
@@itsmeericb Yeah Sir the dash is absolutely perfect
A little bit of the peek power .. yea can get scary. but push a little bit more
If it was my bike I would 😄🤷♂️
as far as look goes, i think this one is the best looking so far ! Newer models they screwed up i guess ...
I agreee
I got the 2018 zx10r and I'm so glad I didn't listen to all those stupid reviews because mine is so fast it blows my mind how fast it is yea power is great and handing is next level 👌 it's the best bike 🏍 I've ever rode and I've rode them all
Not even letting her hit the power band. ... Smh I love my unlocked ninja zx14 . . Mmmmm❤ very much like my brothers gsxr 750.
Yeah not my bike either so I was doing what I was comfortable with.
Liking that more than a gixer is hard to say for me to . But I fear it may be tru
I like the fact that you went from a gsxr to zx10 nice...
It’s not my bike lol
@@itsmeericb well 💩 🔥
This bike has the most beautiful display I’ve ever seen….
You should see the new one! It’s even better!
Well considering Suzuki and Kawasaki work together on design and development you probably fund they arnt too far apart each other
That is true!
It should have auto blip. My 16 does
What Gen is this ?
Gen 8 I believe?
5
I will never be late for work Again if I get one 👨🏽🚀
😂👍
You will trust me
You will trust me
Nice
I thought that 2016-2020 ZX-10R had autoblipper but you have to be above 7K for it to engage 🤷
Every zx10 needs a flash and -1/+2 or some type of gearing. It becomes a completely different animal
Damn idk what I want now GSXR 750/1000 or the ZX10R
Choices! Lol
I have a 2017. Same color and all
Nice! It’s not a bad bike!
Idc what anyone says that is the single sexiest tachometer on the planet. The fact that they took it away kills me.
What i dont like about kawasaki is that gigantic hole their models have under the handlebar. Makes it look cheap.
I want this bike in 2022
Was it wrong!
Display is hideous? You crazy? Coolest rev indicator
To each their own lol
why you drive with a high beam on? it nerves drivers coming to you
More visibility for myself. Nothing wrong with other drivers being able to see you. Not a huge deal during daylight.
@@itsmeericb more visibility using a high beam on a daylight for you? This is a true example of an idiom ''oxymoron''
@@klesarhr-bz5of He may of meant visibility for him, as in for other drivers to see him. If it annoys other drivers, then it’s worked hasn’t it...
@@rushr33 your attitude is like "i do not give a shit about laws, regulation and other people, I do what I want", and this beside is illegal, is extremely annoying and rednekish
~ Top end monster ~
*Proceeds to shift 2.5k below redline*
Top end monster also not my bike. Thanks for watching.
the display is pretty bad but that rev limiter is the coolest thing ever
The RPM tach is nice when it’s lit up!
If that bike isn't flashed it's still got a lot of hp locked up still.
I don't know why everyone says the zx10r is slow or don't have shit down low baddest bike you can buy my 2020zx10r I won't ever get rid of it I love it power is a dam monster and it does everything great too just a freaking amazing bike I even love my dash it's just a straight rocket 🚀
It is indeed a rocket! 🏍️💨
Headlights (points to mirrors) lol
Must not have been paying attention 🤷♂️😂
Man you dont live to far from me
Do you still live in leesville
Definitely gotta hit redline lol
Yeah haha! I don’t always if it isn’t my bike.
Yo
I got 1
Sup Eric 👍🏻 i myself am a HUGE Kawasaki boy absolutely love them. I use to ride a 16 ZX10R Winter ❄️ Edition what a machine only thing was i found it uncomfortable tbh which surprised me but everything else was amazing great power,handling,looks. Only thing that id criticise are those clocks imo Kawasaki should have updated the clocks to keep the ZX10R current. Although this ZX10R didn’t have auto blip mine didn’t when i bought it but before i had the bike delivered i had the blipper flashed in and it was 👌. Glad you’ve been converted to a Team Green member now 💚 no matter what i ride Kawasaki will always have my heart 💚....here was my old ZX10R winter edition... th-cam.com/video/4JyuZfccoxw/w-d-xo.html
th-cam.com/video/syEPwCwEGP0/w-d-xo.html Adam 🇬🇧
Yours looks good! Yes I dislike the display and wonder when it will get an update. I don’t think auto blip is really needed unless you are riding on the track. I don’t mind using the clutch to downshift. 😄
@@itsmeericb tbf bro i love it it was why i got the bike flashed as i really wanted it and again tbh it worked brilliantly really smooth. Have you ever rode a bike with one before?
@@adamstratford6740 Yes my current GSXR 1000 has quickshift with auto blip. It’s nice but I rarely use the auto blip. Some of the other bikes I’ve been on like the European liter bikes work pretty nicely.
@@itsmeericb yeah i agree the QS/AB on my RSV4 work amazing i always use mine absolutely love it 😍
Zx10r yeeehaaa
