- EPISODE FIVE - " THIS IS OUR REALITY RIGHT NOW"
I felt we didn’t give in and didn’t give up today, even in Race Two when I had an issue with my brake adjuster from the start. Generally when the brakes get up to temperature you have to make some adjustment. The lever was stuck, so braking with one finger meant that the lever was stuck between my fingers. I had a lot of arm pump trying to stop the bike.
While I was fighting with Bassani, when I was in his slipstream the system was overheating and the brake lever was coming back too much. Out of the slipstream it was manageable. That stopped me fighting with him. When I had some space I could just maintain my lap time.
In the Superpole Race in the morning I felt quite strong. Axel, in some areas, was under my feet a little bit. In some areas he was better than others but there was no area where I could pass.
Jhonny does not listen to what the newspapers write, they have distorted the most beautiful championship in the world to favour Ducati that pays and invests more than all. You have made the history of this sport by winning thanks to your talent and not thanks to an out of regulation bike that wins thanks to the straights. You are and will remain in history as the King of Sbk! Bautista on another bike would not arrive in the top 10 and if absurdly you would have to get on a Ducati at least give him 5 seconds a lap. Don't throw yourself down you have a lot of fans all over the world dreaming of seeing you run on the Kawasaki! Come on King Rea and come on Kawasaki! 💚💚
Couldn’t have put it better. Team JR all the way 💪💪
I wear his replica arai every time I ride, even though I don’t have a Kawasaki I still support JR65 because we all know who’s the winner in our eyes!
It’s not Ducati’s fault fella, Kawasaki were slower at Misano this year than they were last year. They’ve been sat on their hands and relying on Jonny to make up for a bike that’s not been developed .
Explains this "out of regulation" part?
@@eltonmsn They built a race bike first and then built the road bikes afterwards.
Dear Jonathan, when a 6X world champion tries his best to get a win or at least get into the top three but his main weapon is not strong enough, then hope remains hope unfulfilled.
It is clear that the whole KRT team is trying their best, hoping that for 2024 something better will come from the Akashi, just as Ducati did in 2023 with a big jump in horsepower and peripherals.
I can't believe that Kawasaki who only have a team in WSBK and not in MotoGP like Ducati, Yamaha, Honda don't use their huge resources to bring in a fresh stronger engine so they can be number 1 again. It's not only a matter of rpm.
A champion is not only the one who has the number 1, it is the one who does not back down. Remember what the Spartans did to the Persians :)
I stand with JR and KRT.
Cheers from Athens, Greece :)
of all riders, its so obvious Rea is incredibly talented and doing everything that can be done with the bike. win or lose, love watching him do his thing.
Kawasaki needs to up their game seriously. JR needs a bike to be able to compete. You can see how JR is pushing above the limit at every single lap all the time, but the bike is just not enough. Well done JR, we are proud of you.
It’s not even the bike, it’s the restriction of RPM’s that Dorna did on Kawasaki because it’s the fastest bike on the grid vs the Ducati, Ducati has all the rpm’s to play with but Kawasaki gets hit with limited?!?! Once I saw how many ducatis were on the motogp grid I stopped watching… once Bautista joined Ducati and took the championship I just haven’t looked at Ducati the same and I use to adore them/work at a Ducati dealership lol
@@NudaMan Delusion at best, they made better bikes than you and bought the best rider they could and now you moan and conspire to fill in your delusion and can't cope ability to live in reality.
You morons are so deluded that you completely ignore Toprak and Locatelli ahead of championship, but connect yourself with Bautista , you also can't see that 250 extra revs to Kawasaki haven't done anything and in fact they are slower than last year.
It's Kawasaki problem.
@@NudaMan they gave the revs back and limited ducati 250 revs. The ZX is just old and they need to step up.
@@JTmoto no...they gave Kawasaki 250 revs back & decreased Ducati's by 250. So Kwackers now have 14,850 to Ducati's 15,850. It might seem like that's giving ylthe Kwackers the 500 revs back but it isn't the same....the 250 revs they still don't have back is 250 revs right at the top of the range which makes a big difference when talking about the small margins at the top of the sport. It would have helped Kawasaki more if they'd made Ducati stay at 16,100 revs and give the Kawasaki's back the 500 revs they had taken away giving them back the 15,100 they had before.
I'm team green for life but I'd really like to see what would happen if rea took the cbr rrr sp out I want to see someone like rea ride it see 👀 what's its really about because I love ❤️ my 2020 zx10r but something about that rrr that I would like to add it to my bikes 🏍
No one will ever achieve what JR has achieved in WSB, ZX10 was never the best bike but did have the best rider,the organisers tried everything too stop him but his talent shone through,the Ducati backing organisers have turned it into an F1 Circus im afraid. Jonny,you are and always will be the greatest WSB rider,six in a row with the organisers trying to trip you up will never be beaten.
It's the same story repeating itself when one manufacturer is winning all the time just like when JR was on the zx10. Sometimes you've to give credit to the rider that's winning & making a difference on their respective machinery. Before it's JR, now it's Bautista. Let's not forget he's one of the oldest rider on the grid & he's the only 1 that brought home the championship since Checa. There's Melandri, Davies & Redding which all top notch riders, but fail to bring home the championship. Now there're Rinaldi, Bassani & Petrucci, are they riding & winning like Bautista?
Its because kawasaki has heavy rpm limitations compared to ducati hahaha
No they’re not cos Ducati likely have the power turned down and turned up on Bautistas bike
It's tough watching these vids recently, must be even tougher living them. You can only do your best with the tools you're given.
I like Jonathan. He’s a fighter. Of course I have a zx10r but I like watching him go for it.
Brilliant content jon Racing can be so bloody tuff but rarely do we get to see the reality of just how bloody frustrating it can be 👍
keep pushing Rea, i really enjoy these videos of behind the scenes, im coming to Donington to watch you hope to meet you
Love these vids . Just a regular dad that happens to be rather rapid on a bike 😂
Watched Jonathon since "who's this kid" to "cannot see him in any other position but 1st.
Real shame he wasn't given a proper go in Motogp as it would've been a nice piece to put along side his 6 WSBK titles, such a likable and approachable guy in the paddock which is great to see.
Thanks a lot! ❤
@@jrea65 I know this may sound cliché but no, thank you
I could use many superlatives to describe yourself which you thoroughly deserve, and undoubtly heard many times, don't be disheartened if you finish off the podium just look into the crowd, we're right with you.
Hey Jonathan, amazing performance despite all the challenges you are having.
Cheering you and the KRT team on, Cheers!!! 😃👍❤🏍🏁
Remember to have fun and be safe! 😉
Stick at it mate. It's amazing how competitive you guys are on a 2015? bike. Hopefully the team can get a bit more out of the chassis for you.
You are doing your best. Just keep going and the results will come. Vamos 👍
Hang in there Johno! We all know you are riding your heart out! Kawa needs to build a new bike! Next year, hopefully.
You are doing an amazing job Johnny! Love Your vlogs!
Pretty honest, realistic assessment of the situation 👏
Still with you JR!
What a race-animal and a great human you are, JR! You don't deserve that crap of a bike!
Luv yer vlogs Jonathan 👍
these videos are awesome
It's clear to this keyboard warrior that the issue is not the rider but the bike, itself. You said it clearly that "we're still riding the same bike we have for years now". I believe in you and now you must be able to believe in the bike once again. Kawasaki needs to step up and improve the platform and not rely on the rider(s) to make it OK. Great job young man.
Go Jonny Go!
Kawasaki are struggling only against Ducati and Toprak, all others are still behind, so it's not like Kawasakis are that bad... Hope to see inline 4 engine manufacturers figuring something out soon
Keep up, JR.💪🏻
nice video jonny keep up the great work❤
quality vlog
Videos like this won’t win a championship, but a better bike will.
If you are currenty not winning on track you are still winning in life :)
Ducati is perceived as an aspirational premium brand offering the fastest, most desirable Superbike currently on the market. Superbikes are shrinking sector of the market so manufacturers are not keen to invest vast sums in new models for a diminishing return. This is a problem for the future of World Superbike., J.R. and Toprak now. Unfortunately the ZX is now old hat in WSBK terms and the Panigale looks like a Moto3 bike next to the big old ZX bus.Same old, same old though, because .......like when Honda dropped the RC30 bombshell back in the day.
Awesome job bud 👍🏻
Think you forget sometimes Jonathan, your still The Lion.
"A man's got to know his limitations."
- Harry Callahan
If kawasaki had no limitations it would be on the podium with ease
A natural equaliser seem best just like we did in the early days of WSBK when multiple tire manufactures supplied race tires and winning all races in a season was unheard of. It also meant tyre manufacturers were all producing competitive tyres at competitive prices. Today we an artificial equaliser aka the performance balancing algorithm which is based on the evaluation of the performance of each manufacturer as a whole. Can we trust this new equaliser from influence and manipulation? We know cheating happens in motorsport all too often. Considering how the performance balancing algorithm works, it seem it is possible that a manufacturer could limiting the 2nd team bike and satellite bikes's performance in order to stop the Rev limits from being changed. Applying that to the current state of WSBK and WSSP where one Ducati rider is running away with the championship which is what Max Biaggi claimed Ducati did back in 2008!
Awesome job mr rea, i enjoy your video’s, thank you for making them & sharing with us. This is just me but how have the japanese brands fallen so far behind in performance? The samething is happening in motogp as wel all know, its turned into the ducati show
Kawasaki really Need to pull there finger out and improve your bike, feel for you guys, team 65 💚
If only they could drop the H2R engine into that frame....🤣
@@gbsailing9436 H2R is 35 seconds slower that V4R in a single lap, you want Rea to complete 10 min. after the race have ended?? Just how stupid are you?? You don't even know anything about bikes at all, might be a child.
It’s all Kawasaki fault the writing was on the wall 2 years ago Ducati was using it’s Moto GP technology in WSBK and Yamaha was making strides with there R1M now we are seeing there results Rea and Lows having to ride your ass off to stay even competitive Wow that bike looks dated motor wise the next generation ZX10RR will have to be a game changer in all racing the ZX10R has falling behind the competition WSBK,BSB,AMA,ASB And Dean Harrison is riding his Ass off for 2and3 place Kawasaki better get there shit together fast You’re the Goat of WSBK everybody knows it’s the bike Kawasaki should be grateful for the championships you have given them keep your spirit high
You have bang average riders doing great on the Ducati. All the other manufacturers are way behind. Also a rider that is the weight of a child helps tyre wear too which is a massive advantage. Remember Johnny's dominance when they made up the reverse grid and dropped his bikes revs to make it more even ? Maybe a minimum rider/bike weight and drop the revs on the Ducati to even it out ?
Champ !!!
And Man U got beat by the noisy neighbours, a weekend to forget 😔 at least we know you gave it 110% unlike some of the United players 👍
The current status of Jonathan Rea and his team is not at all a reflection of either. It squares 100% on the engineering from Kawasaki. Yes the bike was brilliant in it time, still very good now, but not at all to the level of where Ducati is in their race bikes. Kawasaki must step up its game to get back on the top podium finishes, or just sit around with regrets! JONATHAN REA IS A WORLD CLASS RACER and 6 time World Champion! Never forget that fans!!
I think what we are seeing here is similar to what Yamaha is struggling with in Motogp V4 vs inline4 and then throw a talented pint sized jockey Bautista on the Ducati and it's the perfect combo atm. To give Ducati some credit they have aligned there superbike to there Motogp bike and handed down the tech, that's smart business. Where does Kawasaki go from here, the problem is you throw more hp at it you suffer in other areas like we see Yamaha atm in GP, the fundamental issue is the v4s and the inline4s make there lap differently and unless all go V4 it's going to be business as usual,
You can even feel the frustration. just imaging REA going to Ducati...
Deja vu
It reminds me of the days when you were loyal to Honda, riding the wheels off a bike that Honda didnt develop in 4 years.
Kawasaki need to get their finger out and give you a competitive bike.
I feel your frustration lad !
Good ride it will come again keep believing you no you got it points make prizes
Zx10 needs a ground up rebuild. New engine package etc
I really wonder what's happened to the balancing rules in wsbk, have they been shelved ? Rinaldi is a good rider, but he's not JR or Toprak good and now he's beating them on a regular basis...congrats Ducati on producing such a great race bike, but soon there'll be no point racing anything else. Keep strong JR 👍 and if James Toseland says Bautista is so good at looking after his tyres !!!! - he's tiny and doesn't put as much force through the rubber ffs 😮
JR65 i know front tyre is what you an zx10rr are struggling with what if you run a hard front soft on rear. Or medium front hard rear. Or medium front soft rear. Can see soft tyres are getting chewed up on the front
Semangat idolaku
Hey Jonny, what do you think of MD's performance at the iom?
It's great to have something to cheer about on the Ni biker motorcycle front.
I'm sorry to say this, and I realise how hard your trying, but unless you get a Ducati contract you'll only be there making up the numbers.
As i said or wrote many times: the Legend jr65 still has the skills to be champ! A new model of the zx10rr is the missing thing. Ducatis made a good job to their bikes....but Alvaro is not that good that he might believes! New season will come.....
its like schmacher when ferrari was in dip performace. but he kept his cool. he's a true leader and legend. i think rea has the same charisma and character. please kawa break that ducati's dominance together with toprak
Look what they did when JR was winning,a stupid reverse grid,it still didn't stop him winning,but they tried everything to stop you winning then, the organisers should give you your revs back and give the other manufacturers more too and we know it's not you JR it's the bike,you need more from Kawasaki! We'll be cheering you on at donnington JR !
maybe now it´s time to change the team and Bike, Yamaha needs a number 1 rider for 2024.
Wonder if JR and his team could turn BMW into a winning bike??
I’m not a Rea fan(met him and he was miserable) however credit where due I don’t think any title he’s won the bike has been the best bike. Now good riders are on unbelievable bikes Kawasaki has no chance.
Appreciate your comment ❤
Kawasaki needs a V4 ZX10 RR. The days of the I4 are over
Every since the new bike came out look at rea something is different that's why when all my friends got the 2021 zx10r I got the 2020 zx10r such I better bike not one of my friends new zx10rs are faster than my 2020zx10r better Break out that 2020 zx10r rea and get back on top good luck mate
Haga was a great character in the sport, I was rooting for him to get a title as he deserved one, but a selfish team mate robbed him of that.
It's a tough call risking your life.
Here comes the most deluded and un informed comment section ever, Kawasaki have been given their revs back, but they are slower than last year, it tells you that it's Kawasaki's fault and their alone, don't connect Kawasaki's incompetence with Ducati's success, Locatelli and Toprak are ahead of Jonathan Rea, how did that happen???
Good point but why not go back to 2022 bike if the new updates are not working ? Are they stupid or what and how it's possible they are slower than last year with more rpms ?
@@fastslapterence5904 I don't know either, it's not too far fetched to say that maybe Rea is getting slow, cause it happens with age but nevertheless, if your bike is slower after 1 whole year than some big things need to be changed, even rpms are not helping.
They need better team expertise.
si Kawasaki no mejora esa moto van a perder a uno de los mejores pilotos de wsbk!! VAMOS JR!!!
Kim ne derse desin wsbk kralları Real ve Toprak, düzlük hızıyla yarış kazanmak kişiyi gönüllerde kral yapmaz, yarışın galibi yapar, Real ve Toprak bence gönüllerin kralı, hak ettikleri yerlerde değiller ama birgün hak ettikleri başarıyı yakalayanlar, ben inanıyorum.
Kwak need to seriously up there game johnny and get you a competitive bike again you might aswell be on a superstock compared to the ducati
I really hope that JR65 leave Kawasaki because I don´t think that Kawasaki has the tools to build a Bike where can compete with the Ducati´s.
You just get older....
Any mention of tyre temperatures?
WHY?
I can see Jonny signing for another manufacturer for 2025. Possibly Honda. It would be nice for him to ride out his career at the place where it all started for him. Kawasaki won’t have a new bike for at least another 3 years and he won’t want to be stuck in the same old rut.
There is no way JR would go to a lessor team and a slower bike. He might take a ride at Ducati (if offered), but there's no way he'd choose to go to a slower bike. For example: Toprak's choice is a bad one. BMW is nowhere...
@@gbsailing9436 bmw is improving, sure they don’t win championships but look at IOMTT and MotoAmerica where Cameron beubier is about to dominate on the new M1000RR, I think toprak will make the bmw handling better even though Scott Redding and loris baz are trying but not hard enough I guess, toprak will be sliding the Beamer just like the Yamaha and will have the speed to catch the Ducati easily
@@NudaMan I don't know, there is nothing wrong with Reddings ability or motivation, just look at his efforts from a couple of years ago he was up there with the rest of them. I hope you're right and that he competition gets a little boost from the new Beamer...
823
The reality is, we need more crying
Really surprised why you stayed at WSB after how they treated you, reversed grids, you still won, then taking revs off you, honestly thought they were going to take the front wheel off you at one stage, 🤷🏻♂️
Kawasaki has to up the anty , Wake - up KAWASAKI give the TEAM a New Bike . All the other Manufactures are thats why the tide has shifted !!!!
JOHNNY why not give Yamaha a go next year.
Sorry Green lovers, but Rea never had any real comp when he won his Championships. Now that there are good riders , he will be lucky to smell a podium.
Amazing performance. You can't push any harder, it's time to push the corporation for a better package. If Kawasaki wants better results then they need to build stronger bike. It's lacking in power department, nothing else. Needs more power everywhere in the rev range. Good rider can adapt to suspension settings as well as tire characteristics, but without power there isn't any margin for error. Jonny the GOAT. C'mon Kawasaki, time to put heads together and build a monster that is worthy opponent of that motoGP derived missile...
but it is not only HP, with more HP you need a chassis where can handle the more power and you need a better aero to stop the Bike better and this are things where Kawasaki is years behind.
@@alengreen589 Frame is stiff enough, you can see that in straights where bike goes dead straight. Bikes that tend to speed wobble are those needing stiffer frame. Aero is overestimated and it provides very little benefit. Downforce helps with braking, somewhat, but dramatically slows bike down in high speed sections. Another thing is that for street homologated bikes they can't just put aero that would benefit the performance without considering road going legality. We can only speculate what would be best to do, but it definitely needs more to be competitive. Will see what they do. Read somewhere that Kaw is pulling out of Suzuka endurance to forcus on WSBK, so hopefully it brings positive results.
