    I own a 2023 ZX-10 non-ABS.
    I am 5'8".
    With the addition of the Woodcraft Clip-on's I find it a comfy bike.
    Did I say that I am 65 years old.

      I might have to disagree with that one.
      Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge Yamaha diehard, my dad had a R1, but the sound of the Rsv4 is something out of this world, it's the stuff dreams are made of.

    Dear Sir,
    According to Kawasaki's website technical specifications of the Zx10R & ZX10RR; both have a fuel tank capacity of only 17 litres ( same as Yamaha's R1 & R1M). Only the Z1000SX, ZH2 & H2SX have 19 litres fuel tank, whilst their Versys models ( all 1000cc models) have 21 litres capacity. Kind regards.

  • @FadiSetGo

    I had 05 Zx6r (636) best middle weight bike ever created IMO.
    I know if I get a Zx10r it would be warped in all new upgrades and feel from 2005 to 2021. However in 2017 I got my 14 GSRX1000 had it for 4 years and am debating the Zx10r and the 2021 R1. I feel the R1 is more solid and rider friendly as the ninja is more track oriented. I know there both track based bikes for the street but it’s hard to say no to the KrT edition but I love Yamaha and rossi did help & have input on the new bike as he rode the bike and helped it on its way. Plus it sounds so good with a GP pipe compared to the ninja.

  • @traeucity6087
    @traeucity6087 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I'm here because I'm interested in buying the ZX-10R; but I must admit, the R1 is more attractive and sounds better. If the R1's seating position wasn't so extreme, and if it had cruise control and a lower seat, I'd be shopping for the Yamaha.

    For 99,9% of riders the horsepower is not relevant. Anything above 180 hp is gonna blow your socks off. With the correct sprocket dimension, you WILL wheelie at 200 km/h if full throttle. So imho it's more about handling, braking, tech and usability.

  • @WeTheYokai
    @WeTheYokai 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Im between the two, but most likely will end up with the 10r simply because cruise control is a must.

    • @charlesincharge1245
      @charlesincharge1245 ปีที่แล้ว

      For real, every bike has fly by wire there’s no reason not to have cruise control

    • @masterbruce937
      @masterbruce937 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I honestly would prefer the R1 over the ZX10r but if I had to spend my money I would buy the ZX10R. The ZX10R has a fuel guage and cruise control. If I spend over $15k on a motorcycle it should come with fuel guage and cruise control period.

    I live in Singapore. It's about 50-60km of road from one end to the other. People here CAN use super sports on the daily because we use the highway all the time as the main route to work and home and basically everywhere else in the country. I know that's not a lot of distance to ride a super sports especially if you wanna full blast the throttle but it's a great excuse to get on that super sport motorcycle and actually use it. I concur it isn't exceptionally practical or an efficient use of what they're made for. You do get to feel awesome simply by riding them. Even if it's for short distances

    Gen 4 still the best. Can’t do much with the current 10R. I’ll wait for the gen 8 lol. Hell by then the gen 8 might be fully electric. Oh well.
    Gen 5 just has a slight face lift from the 2011-2015. 2011-2015 the best

      A true kawasaki fan knows the ZX-10r is more legendary than the R1. That's because in WSBK the bikes are tuned production bikes while the R1 is not even close to the bikes Yamaha is using in MotoGP.

    Top speed of 300 doesn't count for daily ride. 60kmh to 160kmh is the most ideal ride so cross plane sounds better though h2 cult is desirable.

      @nelocinco3836 ปีที่แล้ว

      60km/h min for a 4 cyl 1k cc bike will having the risk of burning the engine, need to go faster to cool the engine down. Even the 2 cyl R3 needs to go at least 65km/h

    But I can say one thing I'm getting so fucking tired of watching a little five or 10 minute video on TH-cam and having to deal with 15 commercials. It's fucking stupid if I go to the bathroom and pause it and then come back it'll automatically be on Commercial and then I have to watch two more commercials right behind that one right before it goes back to the show. Talk about abuse from TH-cam
