Looks so much nicer than the newer versions, no nasty black plastic bits everywhere and that massive frame is awesome !
I agree! i love the pure simplicity
Der Rahmen sieht nur stabil aus, ist er leider nicht, gibt viele Mopeds die Rahmenbruch haben.
Auch die Lichtmaschine ist an dem Moped eine Katastrophe.
Ich habe auch mal so eine gehabt, habe sie dann verkauft und eine Blade gekauft.
It's frame is lighter than all the ZX-10Rs that followed.
@@HondaCBRRRBlackIch meine, die LiMa lief mit doppelter Motordrehzahl, d.h. bei 14k U/Min lief diese mit 28k U/Min…! Entsprechend gering hätten die Fertigungstoleranzen ausfallen müssen… 😉
Best zx10 r ever made , very very fast bike
my personal favorite!
The "widowmaker"... one of the best and craziest liter bikes ever made. Hey... I love the stock wheels on my 2005. The first generation R1 was never referred to as a widowmaker in any official motorcycle publication. The first generation ZX-10R is still the lightest liter sport bike ever manufactured to this day. The horsepower difference is around twenty or so between the new and first generations.
haha i was just joking about the stock wheels, I don't know why I referred to them as pieces of shit lmao. Although there is no publications of the 1st gen r1 being referred to as the widowmaker, I’ve seen may people say that about them on forums and Facebook groups so I figured I’d throw that in there
All the 600cc and 1000cc sportbikes are widowmakers.
@@slimfit767not officially.
@@slimfit767 only Widowmaker is the Kawasaki Featured...i have 1 also.
@@MagnoliaGumbo333 or the 1977 h2
Loved mine, kind of wished I still had it. Unfortunately, some one liked it more than I did. It was stolen...... definitely loved it....
Mine has 55k. Still lives strong and scares me after all that time it's seen out in the wild. These bikes are an absolute piece of work. Plan to keep mine forever
Thats awesome man!! ❤❤
mine got 29k miles now, got her on 9k miles..... And I too, am planning on keeping her forever :P
back when Kawasaki still made good looking motorcycles
I absolutely luv my 05 zx10r
They are great motorcycles!
A Steering damper is a MUST on these 04/05. Super Fun Bikes !!
Agreed!
I keep hearing that, but it funny as I’ve never had any tanks slap or wobble issues on both my 05’s🤷🏻♂️
No license plate, no gear, certified squid haha, respect!
Awesome video! I thought I was the only one doing stunts on a 2005 zx10r
Thanks man! ❤
Definitely gotta be careful with coming down on wheelies or just don't, these frames were prone to cracking right along the welds on the bottom side of the frame. I've owned 2 and still have one and absolutely love it. You got a seriously nice clean example there. awesome video!
Thanks man! Yeah, this isn't my 1st gen 1 so I’m definitely aware of that issue. I try not to wheelie the bike that much because it’s such a nice example with some rare parts on it and I would hate for something to happen. I let all of my wheelies down really gracefully and NEVER slam them down. It becomes a really big problem for people that chase high speed wheelies and let them down hard, especially if you have blown fork seals, you’re asking for the frame to crack
@@akidnamedsage I got a stunt frame on my 2005 zx10r because of the stock frame cracking. Its on my channel. Im having trouble with the oil pan hitting the ground. The steel frame must be alot heavier plus I have cages. Ive been thinking about the ohlins after watching this video but not sure where to start.
This is a perfectly done ZX10r and my favourite generation. Light and small ftw
I wadded up an 05 ZX6R, God let me walk away... been 3 weeks. I miss it. Yoshi, Q3+'s... I've lusted for a Zx10r..05-06 model. Great video, hella rider, super info. Thanks Bud!
Right on! thanks so much man and glad you're ok
Your bike is awesome. Its probably tough to avoid legal trouble on a ZX10.
I had this exact bike same year color everything and I was 21 in the army and it was my first bike. And I realized what I bit off very soon after buying it. I kept it and ride it back and forth to work and never had an issue but I did know I could die quickly. It was comfy looked cool. I ended up buying a 636 a month after and rode it around for a while and parked the 10 until I was more experienced and then I enjoyed the liter bike a lot more. Still own both 13 years later
👍🏾😎 couldn't afford it in 05 but got the 06 unfortunately it broke a valve retainer last season but will be back this year.🏁🏁🏁
when time was simple.. early 2000 litre bike always look fresh.. no shitty electronic thingy, commanly come with long straight muffler, it has own identity.. wish i had one.. ridesafe saferide bro
Have an 05. Funnest scooter i ever rode. Clutchless wheelies in 1st gear. Damn thing loves the rear wheel and so does my 70 yr old arse!
nice zx10r!! i was about to get the 05 zx10r in gray but it didnt workout and i got the 05 r1. im happy with the r1 but i still look at the 05 zx10r and i do like them as well
Have 04 ZX10R yep it is a beast 🎉🎉🎉
They are sweet bikes with a cool reputation.
I had one beautiful bike a weapon raced multiple bikes off the mark through corners a few 2021 R1z Honda cbr 1000rr panigales an I left them behind. And yes they chopped down an took off 1st I chased caught them bye bye... Sadly my brother borrowed it one day without my knowledge crashed an writ it off broke my heart I loved that bike widow maker is exactly what she was...
you could always get another if it comes down to it
@@akidnamedsage yea I know but I always wanted a zx9r 2001 or 2000 Zx12r unrestricted or the 2008 zx10r
It was this or the k5 gixer for me
Amazing review my guy
thank you so much man!
Jesus christ. That bike has ALL the right upgrades, wow.
I have a 2005 zx10r which has been buildt as a streetfighter. So now I sit nice and comfortable.
Would like your suspension, wheels and full exhaust :-)
Hell yeah! And thanks so much, appreciate the love. The thing is my pride and joy lol. Has a lot of cool parts that you can’t buy anymore.
Nice bike, a wheelie through an intersection is generally not a great idea though.
04 was a such a great year for litrebikes. I was torn between the the 10 and R1 in 04. Both amazing, but eventually went with the R1 for ergos and the 10s were having random issues of the steering stem breaking off the spars. Mid range beasts. I still remember top gear roll ons with my buddy on his 10, that thing would straight walk away from my R1.
2004/2005 ZX-10R did not have any issues with the steering stem breaking off the spars.
@@joshuaowens4797 yes they did, they where known to have cracking frames.
The 05/06 gsxrs had the frames that cracked aling the steering head and came apart while the 04/05 zx10 cracks along the weld that holds the inside and outside spars together.
Good work man
Nice bike and video!! How does it match up against the 2008zx10 w the mods etc
The shift light is progammable. Its just like the 636 of that year.
I'm about to buy one. Need to learn to wheelie like that!
Hell yeah good luck with sale. it’s hard to wheelie a 1000cc under 50mph but practice makes perfect
最近zx10r c型を買って乗ってるけど最高のバイク古いバイクだけど古さを感じさせないパフォーマンスを持ってる
33GTRも同じ！
Very cool bike , I also own a 05 Zx10 , can you tell me what the engine mods are on this one
A few things I've noticed. Your fI light is on and the nut for the back wheel is kn the wrong side.
Bought one just like that in 05. Still have it. Am still kicking and only lost a few innards from dancing with it! Had a new 1975 Z1B back in the day. When I get off of this scooter I always wonder how in the hell it could be legal to buy! Mine loves the rear wheel ! Always run a detector with heads up or you'll be dealing with the law. Just sayin
Nice Bike, i have an 2006 ZX10R ... but honestly... at least some Gloves at 149 mph would be nice :)
My dream bike and next bike 🏍️
Beautiful bike bro
Was told they can't be doing wheelies been know for there welds breaking on the frame for those models but yea got one and love the thing would suggest a servo buddy to take that red light off the dash
Yes, these bikes were prone to having frame cracks. This is mainly due to the way the engine mounts were designed. Chasing high speed power wheelies and slamming the front end down over time can result in stress cracks on the frame. I always throttle out of my wheelies so I never slam the bike down
No argument.. early 2000 liter bike fit in with long muffler exhaust just making it looks more great imo, such a beautiful widowmaker. In fact long muffler will rise up a bit of horsepower in hi-rpm , then a short muffler that have been use by many on this day
Couldn't agree more! Thanks man
What’s the cartridge size on the stock forks or the onlins forks?
I have a low mileage 2005 kawasaki 636 zx mint condition I only paid £2500 English pounds very happy with it
she's definitely a keeper 😉
1st gen the best of them all😎.. Try a quick action throttle & quickshifter also. Makes her very thirsty though😉 Have nearly every modification possible on my 05 ch2.
I agree! love this bike so much
I have both of these modifications on my 2005 (and several others). Talk about insanity!!!
this bike would be like Ferrari F40 of it's era
More like a Lamborghini Diablo SV
Whatever supercar that was fast in 04’ lol
Love my 16 but if I had to go old Kawi it would be this
" The reason im stopping you is because of no licence plate"?
No,the real reason your stopping him, is because he let you. never forget that people
Love mine
I love the stock rims. Smh.
Honestly, I love them too. I don't know why i worded it that way
Dude wear gloves an some type of jacket! Your in one of the Facebook groups that I'm in, take it to the track
Nice video and information! How do these bikes match up against the 2008 zx10 model w a full m4 exhaust, bmc race filter, ecu flash ? Thinking about buying one w these mods.
The 2005 is stronger and fast like hell,Ithink a 2008 with a lot of mods can follow the 2005,I live in the Netherlands and the Bikes are not so restricted as oudside Europe
@@heavey123456 Thank you and great information!
My 2008 is better than my friends 2004 zx10r in every way, they tweaked the engines in the 3rd gen so they make 15 more hp than the first and second gen. It’s also the last gen to be completely raw and analog. The gauge cluster is one of the best on any bike period. Bike is just as tough too I’ve seen some up to 60k and mine has 35k doesn’t even need the valves adjusted they were still fine! Most I’ve done on my zx10r was 191 and I have a flash/ filter/ m4 exhaust with gutted cats and no baffle 👍💪💪
@@dalton6122 Awesome! Yeah, usually I’ve been reading that the bikes that come out every year always have more power and they get lighter because of technology, etc. it’s not true for some models tho. Helpful information! Please be safe out there
Have a ´04, purchased new, 156.950Km, never valve clearance adjustment made.
I got the same bike built that makes power in the right places like I make dubble the torque at 8 k than a 21 zx10r that ran Daytona im right around 200 hp right now with it but it makes power down low as well and I've never ran into a street bike that was faster it's the best zx10 made in my opinion
Just a curious question. Is the wheel nut supposed to be on the right side or the left?
Do you have any links or leads on to where to get the suspension for the 05? Their website sucks.
i do not, unfortunately. I'm not sure if ohlins still sells new susupension for these bikes. I've heard of people buying ohlins forks for gen 3's and putting them on gen 1's. Facebook groups might be your best bet
I paid 800 for mine and it needed a new fuel pump. I'm almost done with it.
To try and Cure my Acute case of BANDITAHOLICISM,, reckon ZX10, R1, might do the trick ?, Bandit engines are so so Special.
Up for sale?
Can you get a quick shifter for the 04 ?
Yes
Forget Sato
Get a Racefit Growler and you'll never look at other exhaust brand.
After market cams fr
What’s your gearing on this bike. Did you drop to a 16t or keep the stock
Sorry for the belated reply. This bike is a 16t
Thanks, Also the wheels look super sick!!
Have you ever come across a rattling noise on your motorcycle apparently this kind of motorcycle has a common rattle noise just wondering if you did if you knew what it was
Not on this bike, no
Cam chain tensioner seems to be fairly common on these, hope that helps
@@filetofishmk2840 well the sprocket at the bottom of the crankshaft, the tooth are thin as hell n it seem that stock size by looking at the service manual. They r not the same size as camshafts sprocket teeth.
Abbiamo la moto uguale 😍💯
Come hai imparato ad impennare così?
Buaafff que miedo levantarla asi!
96000 km 😳
Is it okay if they smoke a bit from exhaust?
What color is the smoke
@@CarterWilbanks white and smell of oil , but my bike consumes oil from the factory its YZF 750r yamaha from 1994
@@tonyvideochannel6871 Those Yams of that years are famous by oil burn. I live in Madrid, remember the Yam owners when Jerez GP they need add oil in a 650Km travel. Only check oil level each 500Km. My ZX10R ´04 with 156K has 0 oil consumption, from new , change the oil each 10K Mobil 1 5W50 Rally Fórmula (some years was Peak Life named).
I'm confused I was young when they came out but im sure the tests said standard they was close to 170bhp from factory maby 160 165 ish
~175 crank hp
Crank
I didnt think of crank lol
Яуспел,уйти живым,самые приятные воспоминанияепрст
damn, nice mods dude.
Impossible to still find these bikes
I'm never selling mine lol
Not impossible... impossible to find with low miles and in mint-condition.
Have one also.
What model windshield is that?
i bought it on ebay. I really liked it because it was a fully clear double bubble. This is the Ebay link www.ebay.com/itm/390813374792
The upgrades are worth more then what the cost of the bike new.
It’s a privilege to own something so rad
@@akidnamedsage It is, but mine with full tank is 370lbs. They are also smaller, shorter , thinner and lighter then any zx6.
I'm about to buy this monster soon, have anyone suggest about it?
Buy it and treat it with respect until you know it. I have one and I'm 54 and find it very uncomfortable. But I can't sell it because its mental acceleration is very very addictive lol. Be safe
@@ericjackson9496 Thanks a lot
sorry for the belated reply. Number one thing is to respect the power. Also, you should consider getting a steering damper to minimize the possibility of head shake. Just make sure you get a good one. These bikes are not brand new anymore
@@akidnamedsage Thanks bro. Appreciate it
Absolutely agree with respect the power. I know someone who passed away riding a CBR 1000 cuz he was riding reckless and wasn't ready for that kind of power. Takes some real balls and experience to hop on one of these things and be able to control it. Ride safe brother♥️
Fast as fucccc
😏😏😏😏
Great bike, can you give us engine specs?
the bike makes 172whp, it has the Gen1 intake race cam part# 49118-0034 along with bolt on supporting mods and a custom tune
@@akidnamedsage this bike its not 172 HP , 184 HP with RAM Air
@@akidnamedsage did you do any Port clean up on the exhaust side, move the stock Intake Cam over to the Exhaust side, degree the cams, and install the 0.045 Head Gasket... That would put you into 180'ish WHP range with all of your supporting Mods, it did for me anyway. I used the '08 Intake Cam and the Exhaust Cam from a Gen. 4 ZX10R
This rims is from The ducati 999 ?
yes
The Front fork to
Let me know when you're ready to sell it.
How in gods name do you wheelie like that?
Practice makes perfect lol. Dirt bike help a lot
Very very carefully lmao
@@akidnamedsage one of my riding buddies has an 04 10r KRT edition with aftermarket headers and valves, tons of other shit and that machine is an absolute animal, he even says it's the fastest literbike he's ever owned.
Such a cool dude ends the video by saying "ride safe" after showing us how to ride through intersections on one wheel, no gloves, T shirt, WTF he won't make 30.
Did you buy this in a auction?
nope, private sale
@@akidnamedsage this was bought from a government auction. There were several bikes in this auction. A old man built them. All those parts you have are the best. Reason they sold them the old man passed away and city took over and sold them.
@@Kmcarrera23 Can you confirm this somehow?
@@akidnamedsage yes. Let me look at the auction site past sales. There were several bikes sold such as 2006 r1 LE, gsxr1000 k6, and Honda cbr1000rr. They were all decked out best parts. What convince me on your bike is the exhaust. That exhaust, front brakes, suspension are all the exact bike sold. You can look at the Carfax or Kelly blue books the bike was registered in California. Surplus auction was California. The city accepted ownership and began selling these bikes. The year they sold it is around 2015 or 2016.
Only one question... Why is the red FI LED every time on mode? Is it normal?
Hi, my ZX10R ´04 when 55.665Km in 2007 the FI red light come on, was the exhaust electric valve, I deleted the electric motor and cables, fixed the valve open, actually has 156K, red light flashing since 2007.
Pretty decent mods on this one, take a look at my channel, think you'll appreciate the bikes
I've been following your channel for a while now. Your blue bike is very famous and I can appreciate every single bike you own :)
Not individual bikes are widow makers. All bikes could be considered
The zx10r were the quickest bikes until the s1krr came out
Cuz bmw break the rule but kawa dont they limit speed by the gentle man agreement.
well yea thats because that agreement was founded in japan, germany is part of europe and they dont have that agreement lol@@plamyct5835
Zx10r still makes the most power when remapped. Zx10r then s1k then gsxr1000 then r1 followed by the cbr. Moore mafia has a detailed video with dyno figures etc. Ofcourse there are more factors with what makes something fast. But i always lol at people talking fast when they mean straight line speed only and cant take a turn. 😂
@@plamyct5835 No they didn't, they just stopped the Speedo from reading any higher than 299kph and the gentleman's agreement didn't apply everywhere, certainly not down under.
😮I was 21 yrs old when that bike first hit the street. I had an 02 gsxr1000 that I later traded for CBR600RR because I knew I was gonna die on it. I was smoking cop cars for fun and all kinds of stupid shit. I havnt ridden any modern liter bikes but Jesus I just can't imagine any more power?? That's why they have Trac control and all the electronic goodies because it's just not usable on the road. Maybe a drag strip I can't even imagine it on the track. Very tasteful mods to this zx10r here. I've ridden busas that don't even put out the HP of these modern 1000's . And I've been riding for 30yrs now if u count the dirt.
Bet i could beat youu but not what i care about juss wanna ride wit peeps bro… you got me lets rode
That bike looks like a 600 from the side
It was only year Kawasaki made a 1000cc Ninja in a 600cc frame! Swingarm was even shorter! I have a 2005 Ninja ZX10R
It's gonna be a widowmaker if you ride without gear
If you wipe out at 170 mph gear or no gear you're going to morgue
@krazyam What about every Other speed ?
@@SystemAdministrator1 yup 50 mph slide will result in a nice sand papering from the tarmac causing a lovely burning sensation due large amounts of flesh and probably some bone being exposed to air. oh the joy of being fully awake and feeling that pain. hell even leave his mark on the road as a blood trail awesome..
No gloves and bro your gripping the bars way to tight,
Are you the resident TH-cam expert?
Был такой,веселый мот,только не удобный
Beautiful bike. Aka widow maker. Stop calling it a crotch rocket.
The piece of shit stock wheels? They look the same. I don't get it, what makes the stock wheels pieces of shit?
Yep I agree, This guy is talking through his arse. The stock brakes are good too and no way the modern litre bikes are faster, I had my 2004 ZX10R off the clock at 299 kph (that's as far as it will go)_ and it was still going. Dyno reading was 190 HP with a race chip and a Canadian made exhaust. A short exhaust that I think looks way better than this one.
My step dad has a dark blue one And he is hit 220 mph So I guess his bike is not stock
yea his bike has a different gearing and he was doing 175 mph by gps
I know because mine does that
Yeeeah... no. 😂
Giving good bikers a bad name. Ride with some respect to others.
It'll keep up with new gens trust me I know
You can’t control that bike you’re on now boy
I had one weapon of a bike I could still match the 2021 bikes an they took off 1st I gave chase caught them could be rider who knows or me big balls
Widow maker ?? That always makes me laugh… without the human the bike won’t even start … it’s not the bike that creates the widow
The real widow maker was Suzuki TL1000
@@sugarrfreeyessss those tl1000's where beast. Hondas Blackhawks also.
@sugarrfree these were badass too!
