For track use only, R1. For road & track, I must say GSX-R but my heart will still go for the CBR. The ZX-10R? You give it to me and I'll take it with no regret. Seriously, pick the one you like the most (look/power/suspensions/brand etc...), you won't be loosing. For most of us, we cannot even use the full potential of those liter bikes...:)
Ha NONE of us can. It literally takes a professional to get anywhere near using all of the power these bikes offer today. Shit for the last 20 years realistically. The 05-06 GSXR was almost 200hp back then. I had 2 of them. Didn’t need all that power. Honestly probably would’ve had more fun on a 600. But I just couldn’t say no to flickin that throttle on the freeway with gobs of power in any gear at any speed.
True. The problem with sport bikes are unlike a car, I've never been to a dealership where you could test ride one. The closest i've found is the 30 minute 10 mile rule. Basically you buy it, and then within 30 min or 10 miles, you can return for a full refund. This makes it really hard to cross compare unless you have friends with each of the bikes.
Yeah sure, and listen to this guy try and make a claim that a honda is a better bike than a Ducati. He actually said that a 180hp honda is the best superbike. Lmao.
Im currently riding a 2012 cbr1000rr, and its flawless, super reliable and nothing ever goes wrong. However im in the process of getting an 18 gsxr1000r. The 2019 had so few changes itll be financially more sound for me to get the 18.
Absolutely!!! Although I have to admit I am also an Honda boy... Regarding the looks score, why making a survey (with 12k+ votes) if eventually he will still choose the one he likes??? It's like "I know looks depends on each person, so I will make a survey I can ignore later"
You are a good honda boy By the way, there is a bike company in India named Hero also known as hero_moto_corp so WE HAVE A HERO BOY [HERORR] by the way, Honda and Hero worked together for some time on bikes I found this documentary on them: th-cam.com/video/45rpUdnWsNo/w-d-xo.html and I DO NOT WORK FOR THEM
Yeah buddy u r right. He is definitely a Honda fan boy. Every time he telling about Honda is this Honda is that. I hate this. I think he hates Yamaha and Kawasaki. And loves only honda
abhishek ghosh let’s be fair, loving honda does not mean that he (or even I) hates other brands. He speaks good about the other makers. Even in his video about 600CC, Honda looses. I personally love the looks of the R1, but I hate the cross plane sound.
I hv a GSX-R1000R and I hv to say HeroRR, Honda fanboy or whatnot, is Spot-on with his opinions in this vid - Anyw, for what I paid, I've got my money's worth, nevermind e sheepish & dull look of e Suzuki - That being said, it's an honor to be 2nd only to e Honda (though the test bike was e GSX-R1000 ABS) :p
I feel like you undervalued the fuel gauge massively; in day-to-day use, it is an enormous convenience to know, at a glance, how much fuel you have left. Now I know having ridden bikes without fuel indicators that you eventually get a feel for when you need to fill up, but would you ever buy a phone with no battery indicator?
I agree with that, but I do set the odometer every time I get gas. It's habit now for me, I do it on all my bikes even though they have fuel gauges, I even do it in my car.
Someone should make a dip stick as fuel gauge, after refuel, you should know where you going. Let's say 20 miles, your bikes can do that for 500cc gas no problem. My 12 r1 can do 45mpg at 70mph. So a round trip 40 miles you only used 1gal.
1: Suzuki 2: Honda 3: Yamaha 4: Kawasaki From the outside looking in you're clearly Honda biased. The Honda is easily the best looking. On the street the Suzuki is the best mix of what's important to most riders .
The Honda is what I ended up buying and I love it. Went to the dealers and made all the same comparisons and I agree with you completely. I used to be all about suzuki but honda finally got my attention
1. Sitting on a bike for few seconds in a dealership does not tell you if the bike is actually comfortable. I found the R1 the most uncomfortable in the dealership, but I bought one and it is very comfortable to ride. I am 6' tall, my feet dont lie flat on the ground on the R1 but I still have never spent even a second feeling that I feel out of control of my bike. Ride the bike before you say which one is comfortable. The fact is, super sports are simply not as comfortable as other types of bikes. 2. Disagree with your idea of "Practicality". Most people use their bikes on the street. Yamaha's data says 90% of their commercial bikes spend time on the road than the track. Most of them never ever see the track. So when you talk about power in the low range, a lower power band might be better for the road as you really dont want to end up accelerating so fast that you feel nervous in traffic. On my R1 the throttle is just shy of being too powerful for the traffic. But it is absolutely practical and I love Yamaha for making the power band the way they did. I personally would be worried with too much power on the lower end in bumper to bumper traffic daily on my way to work.
Ali Kazi I just bought a 2018 blue r1 and I love it. Still breaking her in though. I’m going to put a full Austin Racing Gp1 ceramic coated inconel exhaust system on her. I have the bike in my living room I love it so much. I’ve had her for 2 months and only put 67 miles on the odometer. I can’t wait to hear that sound still need to buy the power commander 5 and k&n race air filter. I’m also ordering a ECU reflash unit by BAUCE Racing. After the dyno tune it’s going to be the best ever. My old bike was an 07 GSXR 750 and I bought that brand new too. I had a full r-55 Yoshimua stainless steel exhaust, power commander 3 usb, k&n air filter, speedoheeler, one tooth down in the front and two teeth up in the rear, and the dyno tune by AF1 Racing when they were in New Braunfles, Tx. But 28,000 miles later the R1 was the best liter bike in my opinion.
At 6:30 -7:00 am I love riding my 1999 zx9r to work. Only a couple of miles , 30 / 40 mph zones, tight corners , hard work but really rewarding to feel like you are pushing its handling to the limits. The ride home at 17:00 is an excruciating stop start 10 mins of clutch slipping , trail braking 15 mph ball ache in contrast. Agree with ya comment, gotta ride em to know em!
This was an enjoyable comparison of 4 very capable and relatively affordable high performance bikes. After years of riding several brands of bikes, I've gradually become a huge fan of Kawasaki, now owning a 2018 ZX10RR, 2015 ZX14R and a 2016 H2 with full Brock's Stage II @ 170 HP. There is zero value in arguing which liter bike is 'superior' as the averages of every measurement makes them all, actually almost identical. Besides that everyone who buys any of these bikes will replace the factory exhaust, removing the cat and dropping significant weight with instantly noticeable power improvement. Most will also reflash the ECU netting substantially more power. Unless your name is Jonathan Rea or Mark Marques, we are unlikely to approach the potential of any of them. I hope some can appreciate these observations as further consideration of the subject. If anyone wastes their time busting on the owners of any of these bikes, they completely miss the point of riding and ought to get a life. What a fantastic time to be a fan of high performance motorcycles... the power and technology available today for such low cost is literally phenomenal! Rock On Brothers!
Juan Pablo all the models of the zx10r make the same exact power. The Kawasaki also come very restricted to factory. The Kawasaki dominates in terms of power once the restrictions are removed
I'm not a Suzuki guy in any way. Might be my least favorite Japanese brand but I think the new GSXR 1000 looks great. Also, the 600 cyclops headlight looks bad but in race trim (no headlight) it looks awesome. Those air intakes look like most bikes' headlights.
Couldn't help but notice that you compared the SP version of the CBR to the base model of the others. Any reason you didn't compare the R1M, GSXR 1000R and ZX-10RR??
You are wrong, there were a few actionshots of the SP but the review was of the ABS, if he had talked about the SP he would have raved on the electronic semi-active ohlins, but he didnt, and furthermore he even mentioned the price of $16,999 - those two things make it obvious he reviewed the ABS NOT the SP (SP price is $19,999)
Bad research on the zx10. The 2016 version got a visual upgrade compared to the 2011. Actually I think they changed quite a bit in terms of looks. You also showed the wrong presentation video. You showed the old (2011-2015) version and not the 2018 model. Practicality: You went to the dealer to sit on the bike? How do you know which bike was most comfortable? Could you sit on it with both feet on the pegs, like on the road? Otherwise it wouldnt make sense since you sit differently with only one foot up... About the gauges: How could you put the cbr before the gsxr? The gauge on the cbr shows way less information than the one on the gsxr. The gsxr should be before the cbr, especially considering the fuel gauge. Seems like you're favoring the CBR...
1. The ZX10 shown in the video was the previous model, but the reason being is that's the only creative commons video I could use, I have to be careful not to get a CR strike. Also '16 did get a visual change which is shown in all the pictures, just not the video. The visual changes were very minor though, I wouldn't call it a complete redesign, in my opinion it was more of a face lift with a different exhaust. 2. What can I say, that's the best I could do. I was able to put both my feet on the pegs (while on the kickstand) to get a decent idea of the seating position. I spent a good amount of time sitting on each and I also read reviews from other riders to get a decent idea of which is most comfortable. Believe me I would love to ride all of these and give you all a proper review, but I just don't have that ability, maybe if you know a dealer in the NE area that would allow me to do that then we can work something out, until then I have to work with what I got. 3. The CBR has nicer gauges, of course that's just my opinion but i'd much rather have a TFT display than LCD, the only thing the GSXR really has is the fuel economy, which I would much rather have the TFT. Go ahead and google the GSXR & CBR instrument cluster. The GSXR's is all blocky looking because it's not a TFT. The CBR's is nice and refined looking. As mentioned in the video it's all personal preference, of course i'm favoring the CBR, it felt so good when i sat on it, moved from the side to side the light weight was incredible, literally felt lighter than my 600, and yes, this one was full of fluids as it was a used one. If I was going to buy a JDM Liter bike then the CBR would definitely without a doubt be my choice, followed by the GSXR and then the R1.
The only place where the Honda wins over the Suzuki is styling. Suzuki needs to go back to the 90's and early 2000's for there styling inspiration. Suzuki is killing it on all the competition in every other category.
HeroRR no actually you didn’t just use the looks but power to you rated it at 197hp when that was what the 2011-2015 zx10r was making if you actually did your research, Kawasaki claimed 207hp with the new zx10r & that’s without the power it gain on top of that with its ram air. I do agree with your other points though. Just some points aren’t facted checked
Agree with you on the "went to the dealer" part. Should have taken at least a shot of pictures or video of the new ZX10 at the dealer or all other 3 as well.
Had 8 1000cc sportsbikes over the years and my favourite has always been the Gsxr, wouldn't have anything else now it is just such a fantastic machine .
I’m one of the few weirdos that has the GSXR as the best looking. I do like the headlight, but the main reason is I’m a Suzuki Ecstar fan in MotoGP & I love that I can buy the GXSR with a Ecstar livery on the bike. I wish the other manufacturers (aside from Kawa) did that.
i have a 2018 yamaha r1. i use it as my daily. i can say it doesnt get great fuel mileage it is uncomfortable but thats not why you get one. you get one for the speed. if i had a bad day at work i jump on it and head home and all my troubles melt away when im doing 100+ on the freeway. i even went through a rain and hail storm the other day on it. lmao
HeroRR standings : 1. Honda 2. Suzuki 3. Yamaha 4. Kawasaki WSBK standings : 1. Kawasaki 2. Yamaha Last place. Honda Does not exist. Suzuki 😂😂😂 It's so.....funny how different the story is among the Race-bred siblings of these motorcycles.
sadly most people pay attention to motoGP and not WSBK, which are the bikes we buy. Honda has done truly NOTHING from 2010 to 2018. Selling overweight soulless dinosaurs with faulty gearboxes, weak frames and bad brakes. At 2019 they had some good changes but they are still so far away in the back. Lazy Honda , very lazy.
@@sangtearspa9298 thats what i said, all these companies, especially Honda ,give all their money to the racing prototype bikes and left the consumer market with the same old engines and chassis. Yamaha is one of the few Japanese manufacturer that has so much development and new engines in the motorycles WE buy. Moto GP is just a commercial . And Yamaha's problem in moto GP is the top speed, If you pay attention their chassis and mid torque/mid corner speed is better or at least the same as the other manufacturers. World SuperBike Championship is soooo much closer to the reality, of the bikes we buy. I'd advise to focus more there and not on MotoGP. And BTW the only Honda that leads is Marc Marquez, because he is a very good rider (But very agressive imo) the other riders Nakagami, Crutchlow and most imporant Jorge Lorenzo , who has many victories with Yamaha and Ducati, is always between 12th and 18th spot this year with the Honda.
The author is absolutely correct when he stated that most people on the street with these bikes would never be able to tell the difference both in power and performance! Because most people barely use 50% of the bikes awesome abilities and power on the street or track! All these bikes are ridiculous in power delivery and can easily outpace the skill level of most people that ride them! In the liter bike class, the margin for what is possible or achievable is limitless!
Icemin Lee true, i have a hard time holding onto my modded CBR-1000RR-SP2 above 11k rpm, i find myself shifting no later than 10k rpm because it becomes violent after 11k. People are idiots when they say the Honda lacks power.
Gsxr will always be my go-to, but this was a very good video about all the pros and cons of each. I especially like that you compared them at the same from level. Top notch content!
I personally own a Honda though not a superbike, the VFR like the GSXR is a cult bike. On this line up I agree with the outcome but admit my passion for Suzuki has outgrown Honda in every aspect including the fact that as an engineering marvel Suzuki remains consistent with reliability, power, excellent gearbox, stance and price! Good show!
1. Su - Gixxer 2019 version has cool looking color pattern, i really like both Black-Red and White-Black. 2. Kawa - don't know why their bike heavier than most competitor even the H2. 3. Yamaha - Yamaha jus eating gas like crazy. 4. Honda - to me this new Honda look the worst in the group.
I like the gsxr1000 the best, the the honda cbr1000rr, but for speed & performance I would go to the r1m period!!!!! However I do like the zx10r but for over-all performance, speed, & value the gsxr1000 wins....
I don't understand why do people always discriminate against Gixxer despite being the most powerful, and the best value for money for SBK class. Have watched 3 comparison videos and none have done justice to it and none can actually pinpoint what's wrong with Gixxers (R1 uncomfortable, Ninja power-to-weight, CBR underpowered). Engine reliablity? None can't beat Suzuki's engine robustness!
You couldn’t buy a better liter bike for the money than a GSXR goin back to 2000. I don’t know what you’re talkin about man. Especially the 2005-2006. The lightest. The most powerful(these were the first to even get close to 200hp)while the R1 of the time was only gettin about 160.
I guess im a suzuki guy man cause im on a gs500f and the gsxr750r and gsxr1000r are the ones for me, but i love all bikes from an 82 nighthawk to an st1100 interceptor to an enduro or adventure all the way down to my 125 motofino scooter bro, if its got two wheels i love it, and ive wrecked 2X the last one recently, scary stuff and it really hits your confidence, but im still pushing, i wont lose my passion to the road. Great vid man keep it up, and throw a busa in there with an h2
im a GSXR guy..so suzuki for me..i had a 2001 GSXR 1000 with 123,000 miles plus before the Northern California fires got to it.But i do think the RI is the best looking one
First off, Honda has always made comfortable/dependable performance bikes. They are also proud of them reflected in their price. Second, you cannot judge a bike solely by the numbers. I have seen bikes that supposedly have more displacement not feel as fast as some bikes that have lower numbers. Handling cannot be judged by the numbers either. Here are my picks... 1. Kawasaki ZX10R 2. Honda CBR1000RR 3. Yamaha R1 4. GSXR1000 WHY? The Kawasaki has the most touring options. Something that was not considered in the evaluation. This would add to the practicality IMO. Great video!!!
The Suzuki GSX-R1000R (2017) I own one and it is the most comfortable to me, I took over a year to buy it and saved $5,000.00 when I did bought it, March 2018 Brand new old stock, and the Dealership did a price match on the price I found in Alberta. The single headlight does take away from the look I agree, but in person it is nicer than in photos, surprised me as well, when I first got it as I was riding a 1987 Honda CBR1000F Hurricane and that is a 600 something pound bike. The Suzuki is 200 pounds lighter I thought it was a 600 they had wheeled out from a distance. I haven`t had any troubles, The traction control can go, as can the Launch, & Power control. The GSX-R1000R the 2017 is or was listed at $21, 899.00 Canadian Dollars. I got it for $16,899.00, which is, was less than the base model Gixxer. This years 2019 ZX-10RR is Green and they are only making 500 of them, IT is Beautiful, I was trying to talk the Kawasaki Dealership into taking mine with over $8,000.00 in upgraded parts for one, and I would pay some, They want $28,599.00 Canadian Dollars for it, NUTS!!!! I do think that this years ZX-10RR is the most Beautiful superbike yet!!!
I agree... manufacturer like Kawasaki have been locked into the same old Green and black color scheme for decades, never switching it up. Same old,SAME OLD... LITERALLY!
All other bikes except yamaha r1 have pillion seat. Yamaha is increasing seat height like only rossi or guys long as rossi only must be able to ride it. My vote to cbr but second to Kawasaki just because of color scheme.
I agree with you. I think the green is striking, the graphics are super cool and the overall aesthetic of the ZX10R has been fantastic for several years and that's why Kawasaki hasn't made big changes in this area. Why change something that already looks so good. However I can't fault anyone for choosing any of these fantastic bikes. Buy the 1 that most excites you and gives you thrilling moments.
@@beast3oy360 I'm not sure I understand what you are saying. The main reason I bought my 2018 ZX10RR is because Jonathan Rea has dominated for 4 years on his and seems to be on his way to a 5th for 2019. It's true that in most street situations, it won't keep up with my 2015 ZX14R or my 2016 H2 with Brocks Stage II @284 hp. But on a track where RPM can be kept high, the ZX10RR is a beast. And besides the WSBK Championship winning power output, the suspension, geometry and rider position far exceed the skill of most riders. The brakes are not on par with Ducati or BMW but they perform more than well enough for my needs. I have no doubt you are a much better rider than I am. I don't compete. I ride for fun. I hope you too get to enjoy a lifetime of awesome riding. Rock On brother!
@@jaemills4561 I'm sure the ZX10RR outperforms the ZX14R in a racing situation. I'm only saying that for the riding I do, on the street, it feels faster in most cases because the torque comes on so low in the RPM range. There is no doubt the ZX10RR becomes an absolute beast at high RPM. I'm just not a racer. I'm sure everyone reading this can outride me. I'm just an average skilled rider and never come close to tapping the potential of these machines. It's very hard to avoid getting thrown in jail for felony speeding on any of them.
If you watch the shootout 44teeth does they consistently describe the zx-10r as one of the most comfortable bikes. You should have ommited comfort if all you could do was sit on them.
Honda biased. i'd rather live and not get a fault neutral at 200km/h. 1. Yamaha R1M 2. Kawasaki ZX10RR 3. Suzuki GSX-R 1000 4. Honda 1000cbr. (easily the worst supersport motorcycle of 2018) Suzuki can get number 2 spot , it is just a preference i have it on 3rd place.
Have you even ridden any of the bikes? I am pretty sure you have not. So your opinion is pretty much useless. Honda cbr 1000rr was all new for the 2017? It was still a refresh. Yamaha R1 was majorly updated for 2015? ÖÖhhmm no, it was an entirely new bike! Sorry but as usual all you do is reading the spec sheet and what the reviewers have said about them, making your videos irrelevant. And you gave the honda cbr1000 the best score when it comes to practicality and comfort? sure the reach is shorter compare to the others and especially the r1 but the r1 has a very high seat and low rear sets making it good for long distances. for tall riders the r1 should be the nr1 practical bike.
HeroRR I dont own any of them but I do from time to time ride pretty much all of them on track. So if you have the budget for it I can try to arrange for you to test them thoroughly next season in Sweden.
@@Pillokun the height and seat of the R1 isgood for me, but the aggressive position of it can't ride it for 100km+ distance. My back, wrist and neck ache. Great Track bike but not a Good street bike for me.
the reach is very long, so I understand fully but the knee angle if very ample :) If you want to sit more upright ie not laying over the fuel tank to reach the clippons then get a D675 or the older Panigale :P
Excellent video. I bought a 2018 gsxr 1000R myself. The engine is so incredible. I love the look but I've been a gsxr fan boy for 25 years now. Those of us in our 40'S really appreciate what Suzuki has done to push innovation forwards. To be honest there all amazing and I would take them any day over any euro bike
The heck. Being out voted 54% to 19%, how the cbr comes first place for look? Thanks for making the video comparing these bikes, but seem bias toward the cbr as 1 person opinion out voted the majority.
He also stated that since this was HIS video he wasn't going to discard his own personal opinion. He even said that looks are heavily opinionated and that this category, in fact this whole video, was HIS personal opinion on which bike is the best. He states at the end of his video that the differences between the bikes are all based on who is riding and that most of us normal riders wouldn't be able to truly ride these bikes to an extent that we could truly determine which is better. At the end of the day we all ride, and as long as we love riding and we love what we are riding it really doesn't matter.
Yamaha R1 is best in speed & performance...R1 and Zx10r both bikes cross 300kmph any time....R1 reach 299 on just 5gear....I think in terms of performance R1 is best in class...😶
Lol as much as he praised Honda he did not once mention the handling abilities Look at Hayden and Marc Marquez the things they do can only be done on a Honda
Can we get an updated version of this for 2020/21 please! Every manufacturer should be allowed to put their best foot forward so the honda SP, the R1M, BMW s1000RR M package etc
Thanks for watching everyone! I really appreciate all the support! I am beyond thankful for having such an awesome community!
Your voice changed.
better or worse? I've been trying to make some adjustments to my audio setup.
I like your voice buddy. It's quite good.
yeah it's sounds more natural.
re do this video 2019 version
For track use only, R1.
For road & track, I must say GSX-R but my heart will still go for the CBR.
The ZX-10R? You give it to me and I'll take it with no regret.
Seriously, pick the one you like the most (look/power/suspensions/brand etc...), you won't be loosing. For most of us, we cannot even use the full potential of those liter bikes...:)
all of them are a great man I have sat on them all as far as comfort goes I list them like this GSXR, ZX10R, CBR, and last and least was the R1.
Ha NONE of us can. It literally takes a professional to get anywhere near using all of the power these bikes offer today. Shit for the last 20 years realistically. The 05-06 GSXR was almost 200hp back then. I had 2 of them. Didn’t need all that power. Honestly probably would’ve had more fun on a 600. But I just couldn’t say no to flickin that throttle on the freeway with gobs of power in any gear at any speed.
Turbo Busa!!
True. The problem with sport bikes are unlike a car, I've never been to a dealership where you could test ride one. The closest i've found is the 30 minute 10 mile rule. Basically you buy it, and then within 30 min or 10 miles, you can return for a full refund. This makes it really hard to cross compare unless you have friends with each of the bikes.
@@amishbhadwa7104 Yes. Always the answer. The Miata of the motorcycle world lol.
they actually redesigned the zx10 completely... looks wise
True that
I’m with you, but I own a Honda, I’ve owned many Yamaha’s too, but I think for me among these, I’d go with the Honda.
This review is so spot on great work bro
all 4are beautiful, I have always wanted a CBR so maybe the black RR . The best in the world Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Yamaha.
U should compare the best bike of this video with the best European bike in a 3rd video!!!
Yeah sure, and listen to this guy try and make a claim that a honda is a better bike than a Ducati. He actually said that a 180hp honda is the best superbike. Lmao.
Im currently riding a 2012 cbr1000rr, and its flawless, super reliable and nothing ever goes wrong. However im in the process of getting an 18 gsxr1000r. The 2019 had so few changes itll be financially more sound for me to get the 18.

Someone should make a dip stick as fuel gauge, after refuel, you should know where you going. Let's say 20 miles, your bikes can do that for 500cc gas no problem. My 12 r1 can do 45mpg at 70mph. So a round trip 40 miles you only used 1gal.
it has a trip meter and a fuel light...why is this so complicated for some people
Oso 11 It's not at all complicated, why do you think it is?
The CBR has a fuel consumption gauge. It’s the same thing as a fuel gauge. Instead of showing how much you have left it shows how much you have used.
Potential maintenance might be a good category to add as well, especially if these are going to be on the track.
For me Suzuki GSXR1000😎
Ninja owners left the group chat
Just reading and laughing
R1 for track, CBR for street, GSX-R best both in track and street hands down
Love the R1
It consumes gas like crazy.
@@retardbuster1498 smiles per gallon 😅
Thank you brother. Much enjoyed! For me it's the Suzuki.
For me Suzuki GSXR1000😎
1: Suzuki
2: Honda
3: Yamaha
4: Kawasaki
From the outside looking in you're clearly Honda biased. The Honda is easily the best looking. On the street the Suzuki is the best mix of what's important to most riders .
I gave honda last place on my 600 video
HeroRR Fair enough sir...
Pete Quinones are you nuts the Honda looks shit liek it’s hella ugly
THAT BIH SAID SUZUKI #1!!! 😂😂😂😂
I think Yamaha r1 is the litter class bike
The Honda is what I ended up buying and I love it. Went to the dealers and made all the same comparisons and I agree with you completely. I used to be all about suzuki but honda finally got my attention
1. Sitting on a bike for few seconds in a dealership does not tell you if the bike is actually comfortable. I found the R1 the most uncomfortable in the dealership, but I bought one and it is very comfortable to ride. I am 6' tall, my feet dont lie flat on the ground on the R1 but I still have never spent even a second feeling that I feel out of control of my bike. Ride the bike before you say which one is comfortable. The fact is, super sports are simply not as comfortable as other types of bikes.
2. Disagree with your idea of "Practicality". Most people use their bikes on the street. Yamaha's data says 90% of their commercial bikes spend time on the road than the track. Most of them never ever see the track. So when you talk about power in the low range, a lower power band might be better for the road as you really dont want to end up accelerating so fast that you feel nervous in traffic. On my R1 the throttle is just shy of being too powerful for the traffic. But it is absolutely practical and I love Yamaha for making the power band the way they did. I personally would be worried with too much power on the lower end in bumper to bumper traffic daily on my way to work.
Ali Kazi I just bought a 2018 blue r1 and I love it. Still breaking her in though. I’m going to put a full Austin Racing Gp1 ceramic coated inconel exhaust system on her. I have the bike in my living room I love it so much. I’ve had her for 2 months and only put 67 miles on the odometer. I can’t wait to hear that sound still need to buy the power commander 5 and k&n race air filter. I’m also ordering a ECU reflash unit by BAUCE Racing. After the dyno tune it’s going to be the best ever. My old bike was an 07 GSXR 750 and I bought that brand new too. I had a full r-55 Yoshimua stainless steel exhaust, power commander 3 usb, k&n air filter, speedoheeler, one tooth down in the front and two teeth up in the rear, and the dyno tune by AF1 Racing when they were in New Braunfles, Tx. But 28,000 miles later the R1 was the best liter bike in my opinion.
Jose Rodriguez only 67 miles? Get it out of the living room and ride it! ;)
just stfu and lane split, problem solved.
At 6:30 -7:00 am I love riding my 1999 zx9r to work. Only a couple of miles , 30 / 40 mph zones, tight corners , hard work but really rewarding to feel like you are pushing its handling to the limits. The ride home at 17:00 is an excruciating stop start 10 mins of clutch slipping , trail braking 15 mph ball ache in contrast. Agree with ya comment, gotta ride em to know em!
1 View... damn, i have accomplished something... Keep up the good videos man!!!
thank you!!
Suzuki looks beautiful
Best bike there Suzi all day
That exhaust pipe looks ugly though....other than that the bike looks good enough
This was an enjoyable comparison of 4 very capable and relatively affordable high performance bikes. After years of riding several brands of bikes, I've gradually become a huge fan of Kawasaki, now owning a 2018 ZX10RR, 2015 ZX14R and a 2016 H2 with full Brock's Stage II @ 170 HP. There is zero value in arguing which liter bike is 'superior' as the averages of every measurement makes them all, actually almost identical. Besides that everyone who buys any of these bikes will replace the factory exhaust, removing the cat and dropping significant weight with instantly noticeable power improvement. Most will also reflash the ECU netting substantially more power. Unless your name is Jonathan Rea or Mark Marques, we are unlikely to approach the potential of any of them. I hope some can appreciate these observations as further consideration of the subject. If anyone wastes their time busting on the owners of any of these bikes, they completely miss the point of riding and ought to get a life. What a fantastic time to be a fan of high performance motorcycles... the power and technology available today for such low cost is literally phenomenal! Rock On Brothers!
WSBK Champion 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 Kawasaki ZX-10R.
End of subject.
Garry K IMO thats 90% Johnny Rea, 10% Kawi...I think he would be just as competitive on a ducati or yamaha also.
We can agree to disagree. Tom Sykes was doing well on the Kawasaki before J. Rea came along and wiped the floor with everyone.
The blogger did not consider the SE of ZX10 R... It must be the best over 200hp
Juan Pablo all the models of the zx10r make the same exact power. The Kawasaki also come very restricted to factory. The Kawasaki dominates in terms of power once the restrictions are removed
S1000RR Ant I totally agree the ZX 10 is incredibly handicapped from the factory
Gixxer. For life. The most hands down valuable bike.
I'm not a Suzuki guy in any way. Might be my least favorite Japanese brand but I think the new GSXR 1000 looks great. Also, the 600 cyclops headlight looks bad but in race trim (no headlight) it looks awesome. Those air intakes look like most bikes' headlights.
Couldn't help but notice that you compared the SP version of the CBR to the base model of the others.
Any reason you didn't compare the R1M, GSXR 1000R and ZX-10RR??
Agreed, and most liter bike shootout videos on youtube, there is no Honda at all, and the Suzuki is usually just the GSX-R1000 and not the GSX-R1000R.
You are wrong, there were a few actionshots of the SP but the review was of the ABS, if he had talked about the SP he would have raved on the electronic semi-active ohlins, but he didnt, and furthermore he even mentioned the price of $16,999 - those two things make it obvious he reviewed the ABS NOT the SP (SP price is $19,999)
My heart belongs to the R1.
I bleed blue brah
U r dick
Bad research on the zx10. The 2016 version got a visual upgrade compared to the 2011. Actually I think they changed quite a bit in terms of looks. You also showed the wrong presentation video. You showed the old (2011-2015) version and not the 2018 model.
Practicality: You went to the dealer to sit on the bike? How do you know which bike was most comfortable? Could you sit on it with both feet on the pegs, like on the road? Otherwise it wouldnt make sense since you sit differently with only one foot up...
About the gauges: How could you put the cbr before the gsxr? The gauge on the cbr shows way less information than the one on the gsxr. The gsxr should be before the cbr, especially considering the fuel gauge. Seems like you're favoring the CBR...
1. The ZX10 shown in the video was the previous model, but the reason being is that's the only creative commons video I could use, I have to be careful not to get a CR strike. Also '16 did get a visual change which is shown in all the pictures, just not the video. The visual changes were very minor though, I wouldn't call it a complete redesign, in my opinion it was more of a face lift with a different exhaust.
2. What can I say, that's the best I could do. I was able to put both my feet on the pegs (while on the kickstand) to get a decent idea of the seating position. I spent a good amount of time sitting on each and I also read reviews from other riders to get a decent idea of which is most comfortable. Believe me I would love to ride all of these and give you all a proper review, but I just don't have that ability, maybe if you know a dealer in the NE area that would allow me to do that then we can work something out, until then I have to work with what I got.
3. The CBR has nicer gauges, of course that's just my opinion but i'd much rather have a TFT display than LCD, the only thing the GSXR really has is the fuel economy, which I would much rather have the TFT. Go ahead and google the GSXR & CBR instrument cluster. The GSXR's is all blocky looking because it's not a TFT. The CBR's is nice and refined looking.
As mentioned in the video it's all personal preference, of course i'm favoring the CBR, it felt so good when i sat on it, moved from the side to side the light weight was incredible, literally felt lighter than my 600, and yes, this one was full of fluids as it was a used one. If I was going to buy a JDM Liter bike then the CBR would definitely without a doubt be my choice, followed by the GSXR and then the R1.
The only place where the Honda wins over the Suzuki is styling. Suzuki needs to go back to the 90's and early 2000's for there styling inspiration. Suzuki is killing it on all the competition in every other category.
@@petequinones3454 killing the ninja?????
HeroRR no actually you didn’t just use the looks but power to you rated it at 197hp when that was what the 2011-2015 zx10r was making if you actually did your research, Kawasaki claimed 207hp with the new zx10r & that’s without the power it gain on top of that with its ram air. I do agree with your other points though. Just some points aren’t facted checked
Agree with you on the "went to the dealer" part.
Should have taken at least a shot of pictures or video of the new ZX10 at the dealer or all other 3 as well.
Had 8 1000cc sportsbikes over the years and my favourite has always been the Gsxr, wouldn't have anything else now it is just such a fantastic machine .
D C h2
You're completely right but it's so ugly.
@@cognition26 I mean to me it is the best looking one
@@kodiak1389 h2 looks the coolest but it is a different ballgame
Why are you comparing a Gen 4 ZX10R in 2018???
I’m one of the few weirdos that has the GSXR as the best looking. I do like the headlight, but the main reason is I’m a Suzuki Ecstar fan in MotoGP & I love that I can buy the GXSR with a Ecstar livery on the bike. I wish the other manufacturers (aside from Kawa) did that.
Yeh I definitely think the gsxr 1000 looks better than the Kawasaki but ofc everyone has different preference but yeh the r1 is stunning
i have a 2018 yamaha r1. i use it as my daily. i can say it doesnt get great fuel mileage it is uncomfortable but thats not why you get one. you get one for the speed. if i had a bad day at work i jump on it and head home and all my troubles melt away when im doing 100+ on the freeway. i even went through a rain and hail storm the other day on it. lmao
My heart still says go for the Suzuki,it doesn't have the flashy looks & the ugly exhaust pipe,that bike is jack of all
Suzuking forever💪
Why do you keep showing the previous gen ZX-10R? They redesigned the ZX10 in 2016, although they didn't change the dash...
I didn't have a video file for the '16, but they look nearly identical. Good enough for the vid
He should have done the h2 over the zx10r
So how would you know if its the upgraded version. There is a nice 2016 model at my local dealer that I am interested in.
Its showing a 2017 gsxr but still has the 18 specs..

It's so.....funny how different the story is among the Race-bred siblings of these motorcycles.
sadly most people pay attention to motoGP and not WSBK, which are the bikes we buy. Honda has done truly NOTHING from 2010 to 2018. Selling overweight soulless dinosaurs with faulty gearboxes, weak frames and bad brakes. At 2019 they had some good changes but they are still so far away in the back. Lazy Honda , very lazy.
Look motogp..honda, suzuki and ducati..
Yamaha not exist
@@sangtearspa9298 thats what i said, all these companies, especially Honda ,give all their money to the racing prototype bikes and left the consumer market with the same old engines and chassis. Yamaha is one of the few Japanese manufacturer that has so much development and new engines in the motorycles WE buy. Moto GP is just a commercial . And Yamaha's problem in moto GP is the top speed, If you pay attention their chassis and mid torque/mid corner speed is better or at least the same as the other manufacturers. World SuperBike Championship is soooo much closer to the reality, of the bikes we buy. I'd advise to focus more there and not on MotoGP. And BTW the only Honda that leads is Marc Marquez, because he is a very good rider (But very agressive imo) the other riders Nakagami, Crutchlow and most imporant Jorge Lorenzo , who has many victories with Yamaha and Ducati, is always between 12th and 18th spot this year with the Honda.
@@MakTheSank this is the prob with all the bike manufacturers,its about the rider..
@@MakTheSank lol dinosour
The author is absolutely correct when he stated that most people on the street with these bikes would never be able to tell the difference both in power and performance! Because most people barely use 50% of the bikes awesome abilities and power on the street or track! All these bikes are ridiculous in power delivery and can easily outpace the skill level of most people that ride them! In the liter bike class, the margin for what is possible or achievable is limitless!
Icemin Lee true, i have a hard time holding onto my modded CBR-1000RR-SP2 above 11k rpm, i find myself shifting no later than 10k rpm because it becomes violent after 11k. People are idiots when they say the Honda lacks power.
Gsxr will always be my go-to, but this was a very good video about all the pros and cons of each. I especially like that you compared them at the same from level. Top notch content!
Sweet comparison! I bought the 2017 GSXR 1000rr in black with blue wheels and I am completely happy with it, its a beast!
Great video mate. GSXR is my Godzilla.
I personally own a Honda though not a superbike, the VFR like the GSXR is a cult bike. On this line up I agree with the outcome but admit my passion for Suzuki has outgrown Honda in every aspect including the fact that as an engineering marvel Suzuki remains consistent with reliability, power, excellent gearbox, stance and price! Good show!
I have always loved GSXERS, but I have a R1 more Love! But 750s would still be GSXER territory.
1. Su - Gixxer 2019 version has cool looking color pattern, i really like both Black-Red and White-Black.
2. Kawa - don't know why their bike heavier than most competitor even the H2.
3. Yamaha - Yamaha jus eating gas like crazy.
4. Honda - to me this new Honda look the worst in the group.
R1 getting new head and fueling for 2020!
I can’t wait for the new s1000rr and the new fireblade🤤
Old stock 2018 GSXR 1000-R for sale brand new 0 miles for $13k here locally. INSANE value.
I like the gsxr1000 the best, the the honda cbr1000rr, but for speed & performance I would go to the r1m period!!!!! However I do like the zx10r but for over-all performance, speed, & value the gsxr1000 wins....
I don't understand why do people always discriminate against Gixxer despite being the most powerful, and the best value for money for SBK class. Have watched 3 comparison videos and none have done justice to it and none can actually pinpoint what's wrong with Gixxers (R1 uncomfortable, Ninja power-to-weight, CBR underpowered). Engine reliablity? None can't beat Suzuki's engine robustness!
You couldn’t buy a better liter bike for the money than a GSXR goin back to 2000. I don’t know what you’re talkin about man. Especially the 2005-2006. The lightest. The most powerful(these were the first to even get close to 200hp)while the R1 of the time was only gettin about 160.
I guess im a suzuki guy man cause im on a gs500f and the gsxr750r and gsxr1000r are the ones for me, but i love all bikes from an 82 nighthawk to an st1100 interceptor to an enduro or adventure all the way down to my 125 motofino scooter bro, if its got two wheels i love it, and ive wrecked 2X the last one recently, scary stuff and it really hits your confidence, but im still pushing, i wont lose my passion to the road. Great vid man keep it up, and throw a busa in there with an h2
im a GSXR guy..so suzuki for me..i had a 2001 GSXR 1000 with 123,000 miles plus before the Northern California fires got to it.But i do think the RI is the best looking one
If Yamaha put the vva system into the r1 just like the r15 ,the power band will be nice.
Suzuki makes some of the best sports bikes in the world. They have nothing to prove.
GIXXER ❤️
Honda cbr1000rr hero,,,, beautiful superbike... 👍👍...
although i own a CBR but an older 2012 version, that R1 is beautiful.
Excellent review👍🏻 very informative & professionally done
Besides all this good info about each bike the gsxr 1000r would be the best choice over all.....
The Honda is better looking and has a better feel. That said, there is just way more value in the Suzuki for the money.
First off, Honda has always made comfortable/dependable performance bikes. They are also proud of them reflected in their price. Second, you cannot judge a bike solely by the numbers. I have seen bikes that supposedly have more displacement not feel as fast as some bikes that have lower numbers. Handling cannot be judged by the numbers either.
Here are my picks...
1. Kawasaki ZX10R
2. Honda CBR1000RR
3. Yamaha R1
4. GSXR1000
WHY? The Kawasaki has the most touring options. Something that was not considered in the evaluation. This would add to the practicality IMO.
Great video!!!
What do you mean by Touring? Accessories?
@@cj7073 Most luggage/bags made for a Z1000 will fit on a ZX10R. At least before 2020.
The Suzuki GSX-R1000R (2017) I own one and it is the most comfortable to me, I took over a year to buy it and saved $5,000.00 when I did bought it, March 2018 Brand new old stock, and the Dealership did a price match on the price I found in Alberta. The single headlight does take away from the look I agree, but in person it is nicer than in photos, surprised me as well, when I first got it as I was riding a 1987 Honda CBR1000F Hurricane and that is a 600 something pound bike. The Suzuki is 200 pounds lighter I thought it was a 600 they had wheeled out from a distance. I haven`t had any troubles, The traction control can go, as can the Launch, & Power control. The GSX-R1000R the 2017 is or was listed at $21, 899.00 Canadian Dollars. I got it for $16,899.00, which is, was less than the base model Gixxer. This years 2019 ZX-10RR is Green and they are only making 500 of them, IT is Beautiful, I was trying to talk the Kawasaki Dealership into taking mine with over $8,000.00 in upgraded parts for one, and I would pay some, They want $28,599.00 Canadian Dollars for it, NUTS!!!! I do think that this years ZX-10RR is the most Beautiful superbike yet!!!
Go Suzuki 😋
Honda all the way, though I love the R1 motor the best
GSX-R FOREVER...
I prefer the Suzuki above all because of the colour sceme - love it
I agree... manufacturer like Kawasaki have been locked into the same old Green and black color scheme for decades, never switching it up. Same old,SAME OLD... LITERALLY!
K8 GSXR 750 wins
there is no reason to buy a 600 or a 1000 if you have a 750
GSXR1000R king
I love all the bikes . Favt will be Busa and zx10r
All other bikes except yamaha r1 have pillion seat. Yamaha is increasing seat height like only rossi or guys long as rossi only must be able to ride it. My vote to cbr but second to Kawasaki just because of color scheme.
The R1 does have a paasenger seat, but it is little more than a bicycle seat.
So...... what why should only midgets ride motorcycles they cant even touch the ground

GSXR all day
They may be good on papers but the reality at times is different zx10r is the best bike your money can buy case closed
I agree with you. I think the green is striking, the graphics are super cool and the overall aesthetic of the ZX10R has been fantastic for several years and that's why Kawasaki hasn't made big changes in this area. Why change something that already looks so good. However I can't fault anyone for choosing any of these fantastic bikes. Buy the 1 that most excites you and gives you thrilling moments.
@@beast3oy360 I'm not sure I understand what you are saying. The main reason I bought my 2018 ZX10RR is because Jonathan Rea has dominated for 4 years on his and seems to be on his way to a 5th for 2019. It's true that in most street situations, it won't keep up with my 2015 ZX14R or my 2016 H2 with Brocks Stage II @284 hp. But on a track where RPM can be kept high, the ZX10RR is a beast. And besides the WSBK Championship winning power output, the suspension, geometry and rider position far exceed the skill of most riders. The brakes are not on par with Ducati or BMW but they perform more than well enough for my needs. I have no doubt you are a much better rider than I am. I don't compete. I ride for fun. I hope you too get to enjoy a lifetime of awesome riding. Rock On brother!
@@foesfly3047 your zx10rr can't best your zx14, how so is the zx10 not flashed?
@@jaemills4561 I'm sure the ZX10RR outperforms the ZX14R in a racing situation. I'm only saying that for the riding I do, on the street, it feels faster in most cases because the torque comes on so low in the RPM range. There is no doubt the ZX10RR becomes an absolute beast at high RPM. I'm just not a racer. I'm sure everyone reading this can outride me. I'm just an average skilled rider and never come close to tapping the potential of these machines. It's very hard to avoid getting thrown in jail for felony speeding on any of them.
If you watch the shootout 44teeth does they consistently describe the zx-10r as one of the most comfortable bikes. You should have ommited comfort if all you could do was sit on them.
For me it's the suzuki!I hope they give it a better look
Honda biased. i'd rather live and not get a fault neutral at 200km/h.
1. Yamaha R1M
2. Kawasaki ZX10RR
3. Suzuki GSX-R 1000
4. Honda 1000cbr. (easily the worst supersport motorcycle of 2018)
Suzuki can get number 2 spot , it is just a preference i have it on 3rd place.
Have you even ridden any of the bikes? I am pretty sure you have not. So your opinion is pretty much useless.
Honda cbr 1000rr was all new for the 2017? It was still a refresh.
Yamaha R1 was majorly updated for 2015? ÖÖhhmm no, it was an entirely new bike!
Sorry but as usual all you do is reading the spec sheet and what the reviewers have said about them, making your videos irrelevant.
And you gave the honda cbr1000 the best score when it comes to practicality and comfort? sure the reach is shorter compare to the others and especially the r1 but the r1 has a very high seat and low rear sets making it good for long distances. for tall riders the r1 should be the nr1 practical bike.
The only specs i read were the horsepower numbers. Lend me the bikes and I’ll do a ride review.
HeroRR I dont own any of them but I do from time to time ride pretty much all of them on track. So if you have the budget for it I can try to arrange for you to test them thoroughly next season in Sweden.
@@Pillokun the height and seat of the R1 isgood for me, but the aggressive position of it can't ride it for 100km+ distance. My back, wrist and neck ache. Great Track bike but not a Good street bike for me.
the reach is very long, so I understand fully but the knee angle if very ample :) If you want to sit more upright ie not laying over the fuel tank to reach the clippons then get a D675 or the older Panigale :P
Excellent video. I bought a 2018 gsxr 1000R myself. The engine is so incredible. I love the look but I've been a gsxr fan boy for 25 years now. Those of us in our 40'S really appreciate what Suzuki has done to push innovation forwards. To be honest there all amazing and I would take them any day over any euro bike
Suzuki is affordable beast😍😘
kid, I could have just told you to buy a suzuki or a honda.
The heck. Being out voted 54% to 19%, how the cbr comes first place for look? Thanks for making the video comparing these bikes, but seem bias toward the cbr as 1 person opinion out voted the majority.
He also stated that since this was HIS video he wasn't going to discard his own personal opinion. He even said that looks are heavily opinionated and that this category, in fact this whole video, was HIS personal opinion on which bike is the best. He states at the end of his video that the differences between the bikes are all based on who is riding and that most of us normal riders wouldn't be able to truly ride these bikes to an extent that we could truly determine which is better. At the end of the day we all ride, and as long as we love riding and we love what we are riding it really doesn't matter.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 fool zx10r it's a beast bike ever it's a leader class bike in 1000 cc
Yamaha R1 is best in speed & performance...R1 and Zx10r both bikes cross 300kmph any time....R1 reach 299 on just 5gear....I think in terms of performance R1 is best in class...😶
I must be biased because i cant see anything other than blue here.
Suzuki is best and looks the best.
Cbr 1000rr always best

Lol as much as he praised Honda he did not once mention the handling abilities
Look at Hayden and Marc Marquez the things they do can only be done on a Honda

If you put depreciation into the equation, the CBR would win the "value" section of this test, as well.
