Cruise Control is absolutely brilliant, sometimes you need to sit up straight or relax your hands, us old guys still love to ride, this absolutely helps!! Thank You Kawasaki!!!
@@nickn7939 The zx10r most likely beats its off the line but the supra catches up since doesn't matter how fast a bike is the displacement practically restricts top speed. which is why even with the speed limiter removed the zx10r still cant keep up with the H2 since the supercharger adds more displacement of air and fuel.
As Chris fondly puts it accross , Kawaski draws the line between being too technical and giving the rider a smooth ride on the track 🔥 - Great review Chris
My first was a ZX-6R (2003-2004 model). It was very uncomfortable on the road, but the thrill of acceleration was amazing. I wish I could afford a bike like ZX-10R now. It seems amazing.
Chris, I really like your reviews!! It is quite staggering the difference it makes that you are a proper racer. You talk about what we riders on the real world wanna hear. Not nerdy techy crap!! I’ve been a fan since you joined “Superbike magazine” loooooooonng time ago...cheers from Australia 🍻🍻👌🏻👌🏻🇦🇺🇦🇺
I think the ZX10R would have been a cool Inline4 to pair with your S1000XR 😎. The learning curve of the engine wouldn't take as long. I think the Speed Triple RS you ended up with was cool also though. Keep up the post on your channel 👍 Can you do a Long Term Tire review on your S1000XR also?
Chris is someone who know what he's talking about, an experienced rider who not only reading the brochure like most, and he's obviously love motorcycle. that's why we enjoy his review
Chris is a superlative rider and presenter, he's got that great "biker you meet on the pub car park" relatable persona, combined with a full on professional rider ability. Great review on this Kwak.. 👏 top notch Bike World.. excellent quality as always. 😉👍👍👍👍
i am only 4mins in and you are a great man with knowledge and riding ability and that's exactly who should be doing such reviews, 9mins in and your walking the walk and talking the talk, giving us the straight facts and shedding light on Kawasaki's motivations for building this bike and why, and doing some sick riding, ok finished watching, man you made some good comparisons with other manufactures bikes and gave honest criticisms and rode that sucker like there was no tomorrow. Ok, I am a Kawasaki devoted rider from a lifetime starting from 16 years old to now and I'm 64 years old I'm on a ZX10R 2005 model and ride every day but hearing your valued input and honesty I will look for any other review that you do. So I thank you. I subscribed
great review - love your relaxed 'rider's view' style, and I love the look of the new ZX10R - I had a 2012 model, wish I'd kept it really - great bike !
Chris this was yet another top review on how a bike actually feels to ride, not just a list of specs. Awesome editing, amazing skill on the track getting squirrelly under brakes, wheelies out of the corners, pushing the bike to the limit all for our entertainment! Oh and the comment ‘look a hot air balloon’ classic Chris humour... Keep up the excellent content, great work!
Such a great journalist, entertaining personality and so natural. Majority are very knowledgeable but they're like robots with no personality at all, not engaging at all. Great content!
"Look, it's a balloon!" 😂 I really like these "wings"! Much better integrated in the bike design, than those other pieces of plastic floating around at the bike side.
Me too! 😎 I really like the front end that many people find ugly. It seems to be a bike with a design that you love or hate. At least it doesn't go unnoticed. 😁
Love the no cheese waffle!!... Amazing review, I mean, just seeing the ZX10 squirming its way into a corner under heavy breaking makes me want to go and do a track day!! So Chris, the ZX10, or the GSXR? ;-) I cannot wait for the next review whatever that may be! Love it! My fave Bike channel by far!!
Proud owner of the last gen. Bought over a beemer and a Ducati.my first litre bike also and what a bike, smooth, smooth and smooth then you fit some pipes into it and it just explodes, pops and keep your teeth grinding while you smile like a hooligan. I just dig their engineering and it is comfy on top of it all (as far as super sport bikes are comfy). I presume the new one is only better. Chris’s your content is just above the rest, but you knew it :}
Had to part with my ZX-10R Gen 4 last year but loved it and had a hoot with it on track. Back on my old 1KRR 04 which still gives me smiles as it heads to 100k kms on the clock. Was wondering watching this how the new one stacked against the Gixer 1K and lo and behold, Chris fills me in. Good, no B.S. review and some good riding there too. I like the fact that although it has all the electronics, Kawasaki has opted to keep it simple. Then there is the Euro 5 stuff, wonder if it is as easy to work with as the Gixer is....
I would love to see onboard stuff where Chris speaks about what he is feeling while riding. would make the videos longer and more chris stuff is always better than less. :)
Nice review, made my mind up for me. I was going for the H2 2018 MODEL but now I have seen this I have changed my mind. I would get this instead. Thank you.
Hi Chris, thank you for the honest assessment of the Kawasaki Ninja 10R...it is refreshing to listen to from a rider with your ability. God bless. Frbjr 😎🏖️🇺🇸🍀☘️
man i like your bike reviews, you do a great job. I have this bike an absolutely love it, however these US versions are heavily restricted, there is no ecu flash available yet but i hope one is coming soon!!!
Grrrrrr! I have to see if I can get a test ride on this thing now......... I used to think the old one didn't turn. Felt too long. Could never pin down why, but looking back after listening to your review, I bet the flatter bar on the new one will help it. I have a zx-6r, a 2013. Fantastic bike, and always feels shorter, easier and more natural than even the lightest liter bikes I have tried. And still plenty fast for any pace I'll ever ride. But I'm not getting any younger, and I do feel I should perhaps bite the bullet and experience one of these new techfest wonder-liters while I still can. "Easiest of them all to just hop on and ride" sounds like music to my ears, compared to bikes which have to bundle 2 years worth of introductory computer science material with their user manual. And coming from near 8 years on a trouble free zx-6, I like Kawasaki. Love the screamer scream as well! I don't expect the liter engine will reach quite the 16000rpm high C that 600s do, but they still sound great, even a step or so down.
The aesthetics on this one are understandably quite subjective, but I gotta say, its one of those which you have to see in person to truly get what it's all about. When I first saw pictures, I was more than just skeptical, I was disappointed in the new styling, and the fact they didn't change the ugliest rear section of all litre class bikes. But when I saw the bike in person for first time, I fell in love instantly
I believe zx10r is one of the most reliable super bike , it cost a lot less , Feels great on the road , if vanity is not your priority , get this amazing machine Stock exhaustis pretty good but I will surely change those wheels to carbon fibre wheels
The new looks have definitely grown on me, took a little while but she's coming around haha And I couldn't agree more about the wheels looking very dated, but hey money has to be saved somewhere
I am not a real kawa fan but this bike looks astonishing ... just the red accents should be purple and it would have the old school Kawasaki colors which I love from my childhood when I saw bikers riding through the streets 👌🏼👌🏼
This bike is a monster. I think I’m a Yamaha guy personally, but holy fuck this thing slammed out sounds like a fucking fighter jet on the street. Definitely makes your adrenaline fucking fire
Your tests are just amazing... You manage to deliver an intense riding experience. 👏👏👏 This kind of bike is not really my cup of tea nevertheless your review and genuine passion kind of made me want to experience a ride: how do you do that? 🤣
Chris you are the best, focusing on the riding experience and not the bling bling.
Cheers!
This is not true
Cruise Control is absolutely brilliant, sometimes you need to sit up straight or relax your hands, us old guys still love to ride, this absolutely helps!! Thank You Kawasaki!!!
Not blowing smoke up your arse, seriously the best reviews on the net.
totally agree
Yep for sure, only one I watch.
Cheers!
It’s really not true
The ZX10R continues to be my favorite motorcycle. So thankful I have a 2018 ZX10R; amazing machine!
is it faster than your supra? I'm guessing thats your toyota since ur username is 755hp.

I'd say one thing. You can get old with a Kawasaki.

Glad i made the right choice with this bike....ive not ridden on track yet, but the road manners are impeccable. Great review as always Chris!
Tried ordering one 2 days ago but they're all sold out :-/
As a huge 44Teeth fan, i have to say that review was top draw....
Thanks, appreciate it.
I'd love to see him with the 44teeth lads..boothy isn't great
@@mbal4052 No thanks, he's OK with us if you don't mind!
@@BikeWorldTVshow Chris leaves them 2 for dead
make sure you keep him.

This video was amazing!! The way he communicates is clear and informative. A must watch !!!
Thanks
I don't need to watch anyone else's review after this. Can't do it better than Chris.

I own a ZX6-R and have had two kawis before that. Love the look of this one. On my bucket list. Great review by the way.
People say the bike is ugly... I find it beautiful.
Me too! 😎
I really like the front end that many people find ugly.

This channel deserves more views!
My notifications are flooded yesterday and today with ZX10 reviews and yet I watched yours FIVE days ago 👌🏼
We don't hang about Phil, neither did Chris on this one! Like what we did there?

Another great review from Chris. This guy just never ceases to amaze.
Your 4K recording is gorgeous. More please !
Thanks, we shoot everything in 4K now.
Listen just show Chris in the thumbnail and everyone will hit like. I promise
I would watch Chris do a riding review on a desk chair.
Great review Chris! You're just that regular guy in the pub who just happens to ride like the demon! Cheers!

That really isn’t true
great review. love watching this guy. he just loves riding and it shows.
Best looking zx10r since the gen1. I'm tempted to add this to my s1krr
Tip-top review Chris... enjoyed watching!
This was a fantastic review. Keep it coming!
I am a yamaha guy thru and thru but man am i IN LOVE with this bike. That is all,,,
How did I not find this channel before? Subscribed!
Welcome, you need to go a watch every video we've ever made now 😂
That was really a great review, loving watching you really push these bikes. Keep it up
Thanks Martin
Another excellent review, and great riding, keep up the good work

Great content as usual

Smashed it! Another great review 👍
Nice review, made my mind up for me. I was going for the H2 2018 MODEL but now I have seen this I have changed my mind. I would get this instead. Thank you.
Just discovered and subbed the channel. Excellent and honest review.
Thanks!
love this channel and love kawasaki
Chris you're my favorite reviewer ❤️❤️
Hi Chris, thank you for the honest assessment of the Kawasaki Ninja 10R...it is refreshing to listen to from a rider with your ability. God bless. Frbjr 😎🏖️🇺🇸🍀☘️
great to see you guys absolutely wringing its neck out there 👏
Cheers, he really did as well.
You sir, are one of the best reviewers out there if not the best. No bull straight at it 💯
Chris the genuine review guy
man i like your bike reviews, you do a great job. I have this bike an absolutely love it, however these US versions are heavily restricted, there is no ecu flash available yet but i hope one is coming soon!!!
That bike is really beautiful. Nice review also.
Cheers!
always so excited when you upload new videos!
love that rear brake don't you?
Grrrrrr! I have to see if I can get a test ride on this thing now......... I used to think the old one didn't turn. Felt too long. Could never pin down why, but looking back after listening to your review, I bet the flatter bar on the new one will help it.

I may be picking one up within a week so excited
Simple and straightforward
10R is Love my dream bike 🥰🥰🥰
Excellent review!
Kawasaki has been doing this a lot lately. Not the most striking motorcycles, but the most easy to get into. Confidence is their motto I suppose.
Braking scenes wagging the tail on purpose😂
Love your reviews mate
that tail wiggling shows confidence :)
What is that, for the uninitiated? Locking the rear wheel up for a fraction? That must be harder to do than it sounds?
@@tonebonetones going hard on the front brake making the back go light.
Good call on the wheels. Straight off a 90s bike 😆
5:56 “did this guy just cut me off on the outside in a review video 😂
That’s boothy from 44 teeth

Great video!
Is Chris doing a Fireblade track review? Love to hear his thoughts on that machine.
We're on it very soon.
I believe zx10r is one of the most reliable super bike , it cost a lot less
, Feels great on the road , if vanity is not your priority , get this amazing machine
Stock exhaustis pretty good but I will surely change those wheels to carbon fibre wheels
Brilliant! Best reviewer on RUclips 👍🏻👌🏻
Ok Kawasaki! Bring this thing without fairings as a true Z 1000 successor! THAT would be the one for me!
The new looks have definitely grown on me, took a little while but she's coming around haha
And I couldn't agree more about the wheels looking very dated, but hey money has to be saved somewhere
Nice review. Actually looks pretty good & love the headlights. Also seems like a bit of a bargain in relative terms.
I really hope they make one in dark chrome. This shade of green makes it look like a toy
I am not a real kawa fan but this bike looks astonishing ... just the red accents should be purple and it would have the old school Kawasaki colors which I love from my childhood when I saw bikers riding through the streets 👌🏼👌🏼
Looks awesome, if i was on the market for a track 1000cc bike I would go with kawasaki , nothing is better than Japanese reliability
The wheels look quite similar to my ‘97 ZX-7R in fact, the grandfather of this bike...
Great review.
This bike is a monster. I think I’m a Yamaha guy personally, but holy fuck this thing slammed out sounds like a fucking fighter jet on the street. Definitely makes your adrenaline fucking fire
Great review as usual, if I were to buy a track bike new it would be this or the gsxr
Zx10r all day
I’m in love this bike I’ll get it by next week thank for info
Your tests are just amazing... You manage to deliver an intense riding experience. 👏👏👏
This kind of bike is not really my cup of tea nevertheless your review and genuine passion kind of made me want to experience a ride: how do you do that? 🤣
Chris smashes reviews.
This is fast becoming my favourite bike channel. Wish I'd discovered it sooner.
It helps that I'm also in the market for a new 1000cc 😂
You've found us now though Phil.
I did not notice the 3 spoke wheels. Since you mentioned it I cannot unsee it. It's ugly. 🤣 But i like the new look of the zx10r. 👍
They should make a red one. Awesome review!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW AWESOME THIS IS FANTASTIC SUPERB MAGICAL ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
They must've made a lot of them because those wheels have been on the Zx-10r since the gen 4. Keeps the cost down I reckon.
Feels like zx6r is more than enough ;)))
Wow what a handling this guys has on KAWA
Kawasaki World Champion Bike ;-)) so nice ....
Keep the videos coming!!👍🏻🤛🏻
Thoughts on Bedford Autodrome? Got a trackday booked there in July and hoping it won't be a let down!
