Cruise control alone is the major selling point when it comes to the ZX-10R.
It's sooooooooo relaxing when you're traveling long distance. I practically fell asleep leaning on the tank..
That’s why I’d the Zx-10R
I 100% agree and lets not forget zx10r is the best looking superbike …
Best thing kawasaki did was put cruise control i love mine and that’s what made be buy 1
I remember having a sort of cruise control on my Ninja 636 B1H if memory serves me right. That bike was 2003
I have always been an R1 guy but now seeing them together and hearing the pros and cons, I would most probably pick the ZX10R now. Really good looking bike. Color scheme is cool too.
I was so torn between a ZX6R and a ZX10R as a upgrade. still unsure but the 10R is more favorable in my personal opinion after this video. Coming from a Ninja 650
Just purchased today a 2023 ZX10R KRT. Its only been home for 3 hours. I went back and forth forever on the R1 vs ZX10R. Thanks for this video. Really helped me out.
Jester....CONGRATS brother. You're going to love it.
Love the comparison vid but IMO it makes more sense to let each one run separately to get a real idea of their sound. Keep up the gr8 content
Hey great job , my first of your videos awesome bikes very helpful thank you
Awesome video, my friend.... Thank you so much for posting!!!
Hey great video with interesting insights. I like the no nonsense approach. Looking forward to your thoughts on the S 1000 RR. Cheers. G
It’s coming. Thank you for the support.
Just found out your channel. Its great and very informative. U got my subs bro!!!!
Thank you so much for the support.
The KRT has my vote. I just love the color and how rare they are to find after new.
love mine.
Thanks for the video man! I was also torn apart between these 3 bikes but I’ll stay with my first love, the Zx10r. I live in Quebec, Canada and there is almost no way to see these bikes with your own eyes cause it takes almost a year to get one if you order them so thanks again for the honest review !
My pleasure Haze. I hope you realize your dream.
You going to pay the 1800$ for immatriculation?? 😮
@@mk6.5gab5 Yes sir, third year on a supersport. It’s still better than 2500$ from 2 years ago but I forget all that when I take the bike
Im new to your channel and this is the first video ive watched. Just what i wanted as im thinking of pulling the trigger on the ZX10r but always liked the R1M.. What a review 😊... New subscriber 👍🇬🇧
I'm so glad it helped a bit. Thank you so much too for the support. I sincerely appreciate it.
If you get a zx10r get a 2020 you will love it way better than the new one all my friends went for the new one and I stayed with the 2020 zx10r and they all regret getting the new one when I blow by them lol 😆
Nice collection and appreciate your videos…very genuine. !!
500th like. Great video and love the genuine feedback. Trying to pick between zx10r, R1, and Gsxr 1000
V...I dont think you could go wrong with any of your choices. I will say that I LOVE my R1 and ZX-10R. They are BEASTS!!! And are a joy to ride on the track and on the street.
As far as the Reg R1, it has a steering dampener, so dont worry about that. Also, the stock suspension on the Reg R1 is actually really good, if you weight 200lbs or less (I went Olhins shock just cuz I weight 230, however I cant out ride the forks yet on the track). They are very easily adjustable to soften your ride on long trips, but that is done manually verses electronically on the M. In fact, the electronic suspension on the M was the reason I chose NOT to get the M. If you track your bike a lot, you generally wont want electronic suspension. Also, some say the R1 has brake fade on the track and it can happen. The fix is swapping to race pads and you are good. Finally the R1 does have a dead spot between 4000 RPM and about 5800ish RPM, but it has nothing to do with gearing. It is a mapping issues and some flashes dont get rid of it. I do my own flashing with FTECU (Flash Tune) and my bike has no dead spot what so ever.
That’s awesome info. Thank you for sharing. ❤️
Can i ask you something? I'm planning on trading my Aprilia rsv4 to R1 23", i installed ohlins ttx gp rearshock on the RSV4, can i install it on the R1? I hear it's compatible but needs to change the lower mount base, is that correct?
Almost every bike is sadly going to have that dead spot now the ZX has it as well. It's for Euro emissions and noise regulations. They test the bikes at both idle and 5,500 RPM not sure on the emissions end but know a bike can't exceed 92db during that test.
Why if you track your bike a lot you will not want electronic suspension?
Iam, you are correct the R1 has a dampener from factory. You can see it if you look. It is just not on top of the triple tree like the Kawi.
Great video.. first time seeing the channel and I have to sub
Anthony thank you for the support. I only started is a few weeks ago but the work has gotten around and everyone seems to value what I share. Thank you again for the support.
Thanks for the sound check.
Youre Welcome.
What bar ends and frame slides do you run on the r1s ? I have done the Moore mafia tune as you recommend and wow that man knows what he’s doing!
Great video man !! and beautiful bikes !
Mrmeetoo…thank you for the support brother. I sincerely appreciate it
I have a 2019 red R1, I absolutely love it. Love the sound
They NEED to bring that color back for 2024.
@@CK_RIDES oh yeah, I am seriously the only 2019 Red R1 in Las Vegas. Lol
@@808Affliction I used to live in Summerlin. Love the track in Vegas. We had so many great rides thru the Red Rock Canyon back in the days before everything was developed.
@@CK_RIDES yesssss lol I live in summerlin by Suncoast and Rampart casino. I was just at the speed way track yesterday for Apex Assassin. I shredded my tires, need to buy new ones. I had Q5s
I had that color, very beautiful
Damn, I didn’t know I wanted an R1M until tonight. Definitely worth it imo…I just added it to the list for my next bike.
It's one my most favorite bikes I've owned.
Good review, Im planning to upgrade from an R1 2013, I was looking at the new gen R1 but after watching your review I might go with the Zx10R
It’s a Beast. ❤️
Why do you want to buy a new bike if your R1 still running good ? What's the point?
Do you have experience with a 23 Gixxer? Deciding between a 23’ GSXR1000 or a 23’ ZX10R KRT. Looking to do FBO tune on both. Able to secure a really good deal on either.
Hey I would actually love to see a video about how you fixed the downshifting on your ZX10R. I just got mine, got a flash tune, and the quickshifter downshifting is brutal. It almost feels unsafe if I’m coming into a corner fast.
I’d love to see what you did to fix yours, and I’m sure a ton of other people would as well. Please make that video!
There is one. Please scroll down.
Novel idea take the cheater off and downshift manually.
Great video! Why don’t you run aftermarket rear sets if you are a serious track day guy??
I went from a r6 to a r1 to a zx10 and now on the zx6r 636 . Gotta say I prefer the Kawasaki’s easily over Yamaha .
They’re both super great bikes. I love my Kawasaki
What about the kawasaki did you loke over the yamaha?
@@brandonjohnson5205 probably power, kawi is the fastest literbike or 600 for the money. yamaha is pretty much just overhyped
Definitely kawasaki are just exciting
@@brandonjohnson5205 power, quick shifter, riding position. You get more bang for your buck and the Kawasaki’s just feel better all around..
Thanks very informative! Kawi all the way! Btw what's the paddocks you using?
They're old no name brand stands. I have tons of them.
Oh lol Just got my zx 10r need a reliable stand. Ride safe!
@@iamarisd1884 Get a Pitbull stand, they are the best you can get.
@@tactical1224 Thanks
started riding in august on a 2023 ninja 400. Put 4k on it since and getting out of winter next year been looking at the zx10 and this sold me on it
You will. not be disappointed
Hey how you doing? I saw this video and you talked about how it’s very hard to use the quick shifter on it and you said that you IRON It, so I dint get what you ment , but you did say that you made a video on how you made it to work better so can you please let me know how I can get to see that video it will really be appreciated!!!! TKS. And by the way I liked the way you present your videos👍
currently riding a cbr 1000rr 19 model,thinking of upgrading to a new zx10r,is the zx10 r as nimble on tight roads as the cbr,here in UK plenty of tight bends. Keep up the excellent videos mate.
You won’t be disappointed
wouldnt it be a fairer comparison to put the r1m vs the zx-10RR?
Love the comparisons and i fo here. I have been on the fence between 2 bikes. One was the zx-10R. I however owned 2 GSX-Rs (08 750. And 06 1k) honestly l loved em both, despite the gixxers being the f-boy of bikes. Any experience on a 17-2022 Gsxr 1000?
Fantastic review and comparison bro! I have a 2016 zx10r. Tbh I personally think the 2016-2020 zx10r looks wayyy more aggressive then the newer models.
I don't disagree with you.
Three beautiful awesome bikes but my favorite of all times are the two R1 love love the exhaust sound!! 🏍️🏍️🏍️
Nes...me too Brother. Me too.
I got myself a 2023 ZX-10R. Love it very much.
I’m soooo glad.
Cant goo wrong with the zx10 r it has a powerful engine very restricted
My r1 will always have my heart❤.
Mine too 💯
great review, greetings from philippines. I've never heard or seen these bikes in person. I would greatly appreciate if I can get your opinion on which one do you think is louder? is it the R1 or ZX10r?
It really depends on your Tune and exhaust choice. Both bikes are super loud in their own special way.
thanks for this. Any reason to get the kawasaki 10rr over the 10r?
good vid! My Dream bike is the 2019 or 2023 S1000RR with M Package, starting in Germany at 19K... But i also love the ZX10R or RRR
My bike is on its way from Germany. 2023 BMW S 1000RR. Stay tuned.
@@CK_RIDEShow did you go with s1000?
I like The R1 but the Kawa look really really good and all the compliments you said I would go for the green bike .
I have a 2022 zx6r i bought last summer with 0 miles. Before getting into an accident a few weeks back and totaling the bike i had 12,300 lol. I wanted to look into getting an rsv4 or r1 but now im worried about how much maintenance will be on those bikes compared to my zx6r that i just ride aorund town and hit rhe twisties with. The zx10 looks to be the better option for reliability as well. Any opinions?
You can’t go wrong with ZX 10 R the bike is a gem.
@@CK_RIDES thanks!
Definitely starting on a R1M
Just keep your health insurance up to date. 😂
This TH-camr needs to be more viral it’s good content.
Thank you for the support.
Question for you ck I’ve been on 2 wheels my whole life racing dirtbikes have rode 600s and baggers I’ve been on the fence over getting zx6r or the zx10r. Disciplined and plan on taking it slow and learning the bike. Lot of windy roads here in wv don’t want to get the 636 and be disappointed. Appreciate some feed back!
If you’ve been riding for a while, don’t be afraid of a ZX 10 R you can handle it
@@CK_RIDES I’ve only rode a couple of my buddy’s 600s and have owned a street glide but already have the basics of riding from racing dirtbikes at a high level I want the zx10r but don’t wanna make the wrong decision with the 1000 only being around 25 pounds heavier is the 1k just as enjoyable on the twisty roads
What camera are you using it’s Chrystal clear. What a great picture. It’s like 8K
I shot it on my iPhone 13 Pro. 🤓 Nothing fancy.
Hey nice bikes! First time seeing your channel. Are you pretty close to the Charleston area? I get my bike done at kws as well! We should ride some time
I live in MYR. Are you ever up this way at the beach?
@@CK_RIDES Not usually. I stick to the greater Charleston area most of the time but will let you know if I head up that way
It’s hilarious because I’m a die hard ninja fan but I just love the r1 and the rm they just look so beautiful and owning both the R1 and R1M is a goal of mine
Kawi sounds sweeeeet 🔥 immaculately maintained bikes ! ❤ and its Kinda sad to see CBR left alone .
What made you go with yoshi on all 3 bikes over other brands?
Buy the one you like. NO liter bike is much better than the other. They've all been tested thoroughly by professionals, so get the one you prefer...
Absolutely.
Had a 2023 zx10r… just got 2024 R1M. Love them both
What tanks savers do you have on the r1? I just picked up my 23 R1 Saturday! Any recommendations for things todo also? You help me make my decision for my first liter bike!! Thanks again
TecSpec for the tank Grips. I would change the pipe and decal. Then flash the ECU with Chris from Moore Mafia.
wow the R1M sound
💯💯💯
I prefered the R1 M over the other 2 bikes... R1M sound is brutal...
Cool video mi pana... !!! 🤙🤙🤙
I agree 1000%. I love my R1M.
@@CK_RIDES I have an Aprilia Rsv4 and it sounds pretty hard.... I like the sound of V4 engines and Crossplane... they are similar to MotoGP sound...
I have a youtube's shorts when show it the sound of my Aprilia.....
🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
👊👊 bro....!!!
@@jeremiascanchica LOVE the RSV4 sound.
Any experience with those plug and play ECUs? Been looking at the power commander and power tronics
I would highly recommend staying away from a Power Commander. They always go out.
How do u flash ur bike
R1 actually has steering damper, if you look closely under triple clamp, you will find it there.
Yes. But I replace them with GPR kits.
All great bikes!!! I ha e the ZX10RR 2017. I love it because it's very violent!!
It's sooooooooo fast.
👌 nice collection!
Thanks brother. It’s about to grow. BMW S1000RR, DUCATI V2 Bayliss and Ducati V4 all on their way.
Nice! Look forward to seeing them!
@@CK_RIDESis there any bike that you would say is hands down better than the other? For example, would you choose a zx10r over cbr1000rr? R1 over s1000rr?
10r vs s1000rr best pick ??
Could you post a link to the stands please.
Had a 2021 ZX10r that got stolen, but that bike was great. Comes out the box ready to go. Ohlins BPF, Brembo Brakes, Titanium headers, Quick shifter, cruise control, everything out the box for a cheaper price! Great bike, still all of that can be offset by that crossplane crankshaft.
How often do you usually pull your air filter back out to clean it off? I have a Sprint in my ZX10 and hadn't checked it since installing about 5k miles ago.
Once a year.
Please make a video on the quick shifter, how u fixed it.
That was a process of trial and error. And I will. Stay tuned. 🤓
What kind of front stands are those? I need them
Quick shifters in my opinion are, Are for people who does not want to use the clutch you might as well get an automatic.
It’s for people who want to go fast that’s who they’re for
I have the 2023 Kawasaki ZX10R KRT. EDITION..... I added a small clip on YT. My ecu flash/dyno results were 195.4 and 86.5 tq.
Thats a great tune. Better than mine. I'm glad you're enjoying it. I love mine.
Thanks to this video I got my ZX10R thanks so much
its just me or both bolts that are suposed to fix the exhaust hanger on R1 are missing?
Dope💥
Thanks Vic.
Nice quality ❤
Jacob...thank you for the support.
I'm just now getting into bikes and just watched this for fun i guess cause there's no way in hell I'm starting on a 1k. But was planning on getting a zx6r for a 1st bike kinda. I mean I own a 50cc moped with like 10hp but I don't count that as a bike😭but with the zx6 having low power mode and traction control and stuff I feel like i could control it if I dont just go mach Jesus right away. But thoughts on starting on a 636?
Casper a 636 is a GREAT place to start. You. Will. Love. It. ❤️
Great comparison review. Hope you get to ride an S1000RR and throw that into the mix. At 6'2", ergos are very important and zx and BMW may have the largest cockpit.
My S1000RR hits US soil in 3-4 weeks from Germany.
You are lucky in USA.
In Australia the standard R1 and zx10r are just under $29,000 no exhaust or mods. The R1M is just under $39,000 no exhaust or mods.
A bmw s1000msport is $37,000 and ducati v4 is around the same.
Both which are another league again.
All nice bikes by the way.
Also I am an R1 fan have a few of them from 98 onwards.
I feel your pain.
What is KTR on the Kawi mean? Is it just the color scheme?
YEAH The ZX10R is my dream bike!!!! Beautiful machine
Tek...it's a MONSTER on two wheels.
@@CK_RIDES Yeah dude
Nice video. Can you please compare these with BMW S1000RR?
Yes. I’m picking up my S1000RR this week.
Pls do comparison between zx10 and s1000rr
The R1M I want ❤❤❤
You won’t be disappointed ❤️
Late to the party here…looking at these 3 bike right now…mostly for street riding…I’m 6’3 which one would be the best way to go? Plan on test riding all 3, still like to hear your thoughts…appreciate it!
Hands down ZX-10R for your height.
I’m close to Charleston SC. Looking to get my first Sport Bike
Dude I'm 30 and I've wanted a 600 since I was 17 and I'm finally doing my mod 1 and mod 2 (full bike license in the UK) PLEASE could you do this for the 600 class somehow.
I've always wanted an R6 but now I'm a bit older I'm leaning towards the CBR 600RR because a friend rides a naked and I'm getting older so comfort is a bigger factor.
I'd love to know from someone who has ridden the R6, ZX6R, GSXR and the CBR600RR how comfortable or workable each of the bikes are in comparison to each other.
Obviously the CBR is the most comfortable and ergonomic but could you change clip ons and rear sets on the R6 to make is manageable for say, a 2 hour ride.
These are the things I'd love someone to cover if possible
I’ll make a video for you.
@@CK_RIDES Thank you sir! I shall subscribe and look out for the video :) Great content!
Hello my friend in stock form what bike would you say accelerates quicker the zx10 or r1 ?
Straight out of the box the ZX-10R for sure.
@CK_RIDES say in a roll race currently would the r1 be quicker than the zx10r with both bikes tuned ?
Damn Zx has cruise control, that’s sick..I’d love to just sit there with my hands in my sweatshirt just leaned back chilling..I’d get it just to be able to do that lol
Jason...it's a really cool feature of the bike. You'd love it.
I have the 2020 zx10r and it's just amazing I'm so glad I didn't go with the r1 or the BMW and it's better than the 2021 zx10r everyone wants the new screen but I love the 2020 zx10r screen and 15,000 you get one Hella of a bike
💯
I do have a question, does the zx10r come with a steering damper? Or is that something you buy and/or request? Or is it just the KRT edition?
It DOES come with the steering dampener.
@@CK_RIDES I was Honda all the way but now Kawasaki bro thanks frfr
As far as I'm aware, krt is just a paint job
Does the R1M have a fuel guage?
The Arrow exhaust for ZX10R sounds way better than the Yoshimura and gives more performance. To each his own.
I wasn't going for sound. I was going off for increased HP. I got both. And the Arrow is ugly looking.
@@CK_RIDES As to ugly looking I disagree but to each his own. I luv ur bikes especially the R1m. Ride safe bro.
@@hottbaje6868 Thats what my friends say. I love the Arrow pipe sound. And thank you so much for the support.
My 2020 zx10r has the werks exhaust and sounds really good and the gp m4 sounds 👌 really good too if you don't want to spend 2000 on a SC or one of those my friend has 2019 zx10r and paid like 1400 for his Austin racing exhaust and I don't think his sounds any better than my 700 exhaust and it didn't give him more power than mine because I'm always a half a bike a head when we race everytime and mine pulls way harder you can totally tell when we switch and ride them back to back all these bikes are scary fast these days I think someone should just get what fits them you really can't go wrong with any of them I want one of each 1000cc lol 😀
@@CK_RIDES each has it own taste. I frickin love how arrow looks
What stands you rocking? Are they all on the same brand stands?
Those stands are 10 years old.
I’m trying to save up for a new bike I hope by the time I get around to buying my first 1000cc they aren’t electric. Does anyone know if that’s in the near future?
They are...
Have you had the zx10r on track? Im interested in how well it corners compared to the R1? If it takes more effort considering the difference in geometry and weight, and how well the zx holds a line compared to the R1. Being that the zx weighs more, has a longer wheel base and a slightly increased rake compared to the R1 it seems like it wouldnt corner as well, but would be more stable at speed.
Yes. And it's a lot to handle. R1M is a beast on the track. The CBR FIREBLADE SP is special on the track. I did a DEMO DAY and I ordered one on the Spot with the Honda Rep. Now I have it and it's my FAVORITE bike I've owned.
Well on zx10r no doubt on track its a 6 time straight Wsbk champion most wins in Wsbk.
Godbless all

I might be a little crazy but the R1 also have a stabilizer below the the speedo gauge.
There is one but most add a GPR stabilizer aftermarket. .
@@CK_RIDES gotcha
Why do you only have the minimum for insurance on your bikes? I’m struggling with just getting the minimum because I’m under the thought that more is more, but then I’m like do I need more lol.
Kawasaki Zx10r SE has forged wheels which is the first thing I would change on the standard ZX10R, it really makes the bike feels more agile. I'm not a fan of the active suspensions.
I love my 23 zx10r krt and same exhaust tuned by moore mafia
How does your QS work now post flash?
Are the headers on the 2023 R1 stainless or Ti?
Ti
Anymore Yamaha r1 for sell ?
Hey! Any opinions on the r1m vs a Panigale v4 / V4s? Thanks!
I’m going to make a video for you. Deal?
@@CK_RIDES sounds good!
Did you add block off plates to the ZX10R?
I have quick release mirrors installed so I can swap out the block off plates with the mirrors when I street ride it takes literally five seconds to do it
@@CK_RIDES no, I meant block off plates for the intake
R1 has steering damper too, just a little bit hidden.
You’ve got three and I can’t afford even one. I’m a green with envy as the ZX.
