It can be nice to have power that you are not using, and to develop the skills to work within that range. It's like having space to stretch, you don't expect to spend all your time stretching or to use all the space to stretch in. But it does mean that when you need to reach that little bit further you can. There is calmness to delicately regulating the inputs to something that will buck you off if you over do it.
I find it to be a sublime daily rider. But I’m a lifelong track rider. I come at it from a different perspective. Feels to me like a beautifully smooth, street missile. The factory tune is massively improved with a proper dynotune and ecu flash. Click on me to see.
Bought the 2023KRT zx10r got 20,000 on it already!Love every minute of it!Take care of it and it will take care of you! My 2008 zx10r just turned 97,000 they can run a long time going for 100,000 and more!!!!❤
The real or logical question is! ...What application is the ZX-10 really designed for. Answer this and you have answered your question of Is The Kawasaki ZX-10R BAD For Daily Riding/Commuting.
I'm very happy with my 2023 Ninja 1000sx, nice riding position and plenty of torque down low and enough power to have fun and get you arrested if you go crazy lol
@@stringersociety9983 bullshit. They did not gain 100hp. I know Chris Moore. I tune bikes as well, Chris gained 20hp up top, he did this using the Woolich racing software to restrict the ETV map. Sit down junior. 😂
@@Niobium23 You are talking about peak which is correct. But there is a much more massive gain in the upper RPMS after the flash. Its even in the video th-cam.com/video/Y-Ilj1ZFInI/w-d-xo.html
@@Niobium23what he’s saying is the power falls off completely after 11k rpm because the computer only gives you like 60% throttle. It’s in the video, I watched it.
I live approximately 8 miles from my works, any bike would work for that distance.. I don't have the fastest power mode on my 1400. As the fuel it uses is worse than a alcoholic. I have my mode set on full power. Traction 2. If I ever get another bike, or second bike, top speed won't be my priority. Low to mid range would be, unless you track your bike, go to the TT. or autobahn. Were would you get the opportunity to use your full power? Exceleration and mid range you would.. I use my zzr1400 for work (weather pending) and that works fine for me..
Just wanted to say i enjoy your vlogs and points you make. The one on speed limits from a from a open minded view point practically. I ride a Ninja 650 2022 which is my second "big bike". If you are ever in the Cheshire area and want to borrow mine for a video let me know. Keep the content coming :)
Ive got a 23 reg zx10r and you can enjoy the bike on country lanes at normal speeds because the suspension quality and handling is top notch. For a superbike it turns really well even on country roads unlike some other sportsbikes ive owned which need to be travelling rapidly to steer properly. 👍
hey man, love the vids. just wondering about your opinion on height for sport bikes. im a learner wanting a yzf 125 but im like 6'1 and get told its going to be suffering. im getting one anyway but i think they are overexaggerating and am trying to get as many opinions as i can. thanks!!!
I’m 6’0 and I started on a ninja 650 and after a few months I could feel how small it was for me. Granted I’m still riding it 5 years later so do what you must with that info my man 🤘
I own one. I absolutely love it. Prevfiously I had a ZX9R, then a 2011 ZX10RABS, loved that too, then an H2 SX did not like that cumbersome at low speed, mental fast would wheelie at ludicrous spead. As for my new ZX10R, I would use it daily with the following caveats, very limited for luggage other than a rucksack, remarkably comfy. Lovely light bike, utterly horrific pillion seat unless your passenger is about 12 years old. after that I wouldn't want to park it anywhere because of theiving gypsy bras studs. An absoloute bargain, the downshifter and quick shifter work rather well. In essence if you don't buy one there is something wrong with you.
Last comment, some of th3e BEST fun I got, and a bike I did get all of its usability, which I still own, is my KTM 390 Adventure... Its a bit of a daily driver at times, I toured with it, and the torque on it surprises. I sense had several Bikes (Naked, supersport, and now have it and a SPeed Triple RR, and frankly, the 390 is great. but I miss the ZX-10R and I'd trade the Speed triple RR for it. Also, on liter bikes, you can ride on streets on 1st gear all day long and maybe shift on highway, or for fun... I think the older gen (like the 2017 I had) ZX-10R was an easier street bike to buy and upgrade from 600cc. I did LOVE that bike!
I have the 2020zx10r which I think is alot better but I ride mine everywhere and absolutely 💯 love it more than any bike I've ever rode and I've had 15 bikes and love this one the most you will never get sick of it I'll never let my 2020zx10r go for a different bike
Only complaint i have is it really likes to faults neutral down shifting when using the quick shifter!Which can catch you by surprise when cornering and downshifting.
The only two i4 bikes I'd consider are the ZX-10R and the S1KRR they're both just about as practical as a 200HP+ Superbike can be. If you ever get a chance try to ride a tuned Speed Triple RR it gains 30+ bhp with a good tune and so many of the early reviews are dog crap treating it like a standard naked bike when it's absolutely not and just endlessly complaining about the clip-ons. It's an absolute gem of a bike and really gets overlooked.
Do you have a Speed Triple rr? I heard about the Bren Tune giving it 30hp more but was unsure if that was true or not. Seems like quite a lot. I have an rr and would like more power so I have been checking out the zx-10 as a replacement. However, I am torn bc the fit and finish if the Triumph is superior to the majority of bikes out there.
@@EpiceverythingProductions Sadly haven't had the chance to tune mine yet but from everything I have heard it is very much true. Unless you plan on being primarily track focused I'd stick with the Speed. Both the Speed and the ZX-10 are two of the most heavily restricted bikes stock, with the Speed being limited to something around 60% on the stock map with the ZX-10 being fairly similar being just absolutely dead in the middle and just flat up top. Both bikes desperately need to be tuned. Also I don't think the ZX-10 would be as big of a jump as you are hoping the Speed still absolutely dominates it on torque, my Speed holds its own with my friends lightly tuned S1KRR until about 140 where the Speed starts really hitting its restrictions. Bonus tip not sure if you knew this already but the Speed is a good deal faster in 5th gear than 6th with about a 13mph higher top speed until you get it flashed.
@@shauns5278 thanks man I didn’t know a lot of this info! I will look at the tune first before I decide if I should trade it in for a sportbike. My main riding is the canyons vs the track. My thoughts for trading it for a sportbike would be the faster motor and the full fairing. Sounds like our Speed just needs to be tuned to get the most out of it!
@@EpiceverythingProductions Yeah definitely; the Speed also has better brakes and suspension than the ZX-10R, for the average rider it's definitely the better choice. The ZX really only wins out on absolute peak top end and aerodynamics. The RR with a tune is limited to around 185-190 because of aerodynamics but not sure how often you'd want to go that fast without a steering damper.
there are VERY FEW people who will be able to get all of a 1000cc sportbike (Hell, I'd almost say same about 600cc bike...) But they are fun, and you kind of buy it because you can.. YOu get one because Johnny Rea won a bunch of championships with ti... and it looks Very pretty. But 99% of ppeople dont' buy this buy because you will get all of it out of it. Get a ZX-4RR or Ninja 400 to get all of a bike on track. Yo get this bike because you can and it ridiculous. Yeah, I owned a few liter bike, and I can't recomend it (I had been riding bikes for 20 or 22 years beffore I bought my first ZX-10R, before that, I had ZX-yRs and an R6 for like 16 years... Even then, I felt I was a good rider, did my share of track days, and not sure I even got 75% of it on track..

If you have weight on your hands, you're not riding right.
Tension up your gut, squeeze your knees against the tank, takes the weight off your wrists.

97,000 is insane. If that’s true you should genuinely pay yourself on the back for the longevity.
I own a 2022 ZX10R and if I had unlimited money, I still wouldn't trade it for any other sportsbike 💚
1000cc 1 gear, 600cc 3 gears, 125cc need more gears xD

He is good at checking mirrors, but I bet you one week of mirror deletion and his life savers would be just as on point.
@@bearwolffish Should be using both. I'm not gonna tell anyone how to ride, but it just makes me so nervous watching it.
There it is! 🦾🐉🥷🏽💚 with a full exhaust system and a proper tune, that machine is a monster. I picked up 21hp on top. 🥷🏽
I would imagine the power delivery smoothed out to be more linear...?
Look up Moore Mafia ZX10R at 11,500 rpm it falls on its face bad. They got over 100 hp gain at 13000 rpm with a totally stock bike just tuning

No one buys such motorcycles for every day. It's a toy for adults, ride once a week
Do a concourse 14 review. Feel the vairable valve timing torque 3-8k rpms compare it comfort and fast vs zx14
