- A Comprehensive Specs Comparison between two Brutally Stunning Superbikes!
Updated in 2021, it is the next version of Kawasaki’s Legendary WorldSBK bike in road going form, the ZX-10R Ninja. Up against the latest variant of Yamaha’s Infamous super bike line, the YZF-R1. These are the kind of machines to make your license twitch nervously in your pocket and are genuine world class super sports, and today they’re going head to head in a direct specs comparison.
G’day I’m Kwackajack and welcome to another video in the versus series. Where we take two similar bikes that you might be looking at choosing between, and put them under the magnifying glass to have a detailed specs comparison and see just what the differences are. We’ll be analysing the styling & dimensions, claimed Engine & power specs, exhaust notes, Weight, Suspension & brakes, features & price to see where they stack up. But before we get started please do me a huge favour and give this video a like and hit subscribe if you haven’t already to join our fast growing moto-community.

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.
Huge Ninja fan, but my lord the R1 has the best sound on any bike I've ever heard
lol have you heard the h2 and dont let me get started on the street illegal h2r is overkill but hear those outt those superchargers are crazy
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.

@@blink_tvm oof, ok you bring up a valid point lol
R1 fanboy here but the Aprilia RSV4 is the all time best sounding super sport
@@brianrondan1575lol r1 better
Is it just me? But i really like the new design of zx10r 😄
If you look at the 21 zx10r it looks a lot like the H2 . I have a 21 zx10r and a 21 H2 Carbon.
Yes, the design is so Smooth and Rugged. 🫰
Love it❤
Same here bro I love the older ones too but the new generation ones look so pretty
I have the ZX 10r and I LOVE it
Can’t beat the sound of the cross plane crank. That’s what makes R1 #1 for me.
Both are super awesome. I wouldn't know which one to choose. Maybe the R1. 😱
Good choice!
Riding position is ridiculous the zx10 not even close Landslide much better street bike. ZX 10 wins big the Liter King 👑
I have a 2015 ZX10r 30th anniversary edition…only 600 on the dash. And I’m very satisfied
I saw a Yamaha r1 at a bike dealer once, 2016 model. And I sat on it and I couldn't believe how comfortable the seat was
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.
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.
Yep!
i like the look of the zx10r. its actually got that ninja or samurai look
Well it is a Ninja, so it looks specifically like a Ninja, 😈🥷, Suzuki had the Samurai
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.
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
What was that racing exhaust on the yamaha?
These are my to favorite bikes and I wanna see wich one I want for my first 1000cc
Idk man just something about the previous gen zx10's just tickles my fancy
What kind of racing exhaust is that on the R1
I feel like you get more for your buck with the ZX10.. as a daily rider I would pick the ZX.. I have never had a track day in my life so the R1 would not be my pic. I ride a 09 R6S
So for me it would be the ZX10
I miss the old rpm
Gauge on the zx10r
Im between the two, but most likely will end up with the 10r simply because cruise control is a must.
For real, every bike has fly by wire there’s no reason not to have cruise control
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 like the Yamaha r1m. It has a 200 rear tire mostly carbon fiber and it has a cross plane crank. Which makes it sound more like a V8
It's actually the half of a V8, the firing orders are the same, just double the engine and you'll get a mini Mustang engine
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
Please put the yamaha mt-09 versus the mt-07.!!
I own a 2023 kawasaki ninja zx10r krt but the R1 with an exhaust just sounds soo much better
any idea which bike will be better suited for a taller (6'1") rider?
Zx10r
So I'm 33 now my first bike was a 07 r6, then a 09 636 and a 2008 gskr750 and my 636 was the funnest my r6 handled best! But I've always wanted a liter bike just don't know what to expect and if my 600s or 750 is a better option?
I’ve bed. Watching a bunch of videos about this. I want to know what it’s like to go 200mph which has me wanting something like the R1, but if most of what you do is city riding, there’s no way to even do that bike justice. Had me looking at Yamaha M10. All the vids say it’s comfortable enough to ride all day and it’s just a detuned R-1, but good for city or track. I need money. I want like 15 bikes
@MotorcyclesMetalandMayhem I ended up buying a 22 s1000rr last year and a 2024 s1000rr fck love these bikes
Even though I’m a Kawi fanboy and ZX10R is the eventual winner, my choice between these two bikes is R1.. I think it looks better and it is a little more ‘legendary’ than ZX10R..
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.
@@muchwithamouthdogepool255 moto gp is totally different than wsbk. None of moto bikes are anything like the ones in wsbk. And kawi don't even race in moto gp
R1 is smartest Superbike , better be s1krr than 10r
more legendary? 6 straight WSBK titles doesn’t make the ZX10R legendary?
👍👍
ZX 10 R 100%😎
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.
That r1 gon be my first bike I been riding dirt bikes since I was 12 and wanna make the r1 my daily ride fr yall got any tips
Get a Zx6r or r6
Get. R1M
Start on a 600.
Kawasaki!!!!!
R1 ❣️
ZX10 🔥
It’s hard to choose I like them all I do like the r1 better
GSX-R1000R, gets the job done in the streets.
R1!!
lol factory exhaust is so sad. I’m happy in America we don’t pulled over for having an exhaust on our bikes.
It's all flavor. Kawasaki is like So Delicious chocolate & peanut butter cups while the R1 is So Delicious cookies & creme
2 problems with the R1 first one extremely uncomfortable for the street number two no power down low Kawasaki for me.
All 600 and 1 k almost equally fast it’ll just depend on the ride r
Both are great but to top it off you were comparing equal bike's not like others comparing the r1m vs 10r ! Restrict both those bike's and the 10R is killer
You’re really gonna have two completely different audio angles?…then have a shit arrow exhaust next to a sc? Right
Zx10R Ang zx6R dabest
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.
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
Am I the only one who is not a fan of the cross plain engines ?!?
No, you are not. I love V4😁
Zx10 looks so much better in the looks department, Yamaha looks seriously dated and colour schemes suck IMO.
Just me but green is always mean
Everyone knows the R1 has the best sound
Hello there, beautiful people. I hope you have a blessed day.
Thank you! You too!
How dare you prefer the looks of the R1 !!! Your opinion is wrong !!! 😅
Opinions are like assholes remember, usually pretty crappy
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
No bike should be over 25 k
