manufacturers must hate you for being so honest, BUT I thank you for being honest about it, which is rare these days. keep it up, you've made a fan of me.
Being a 2014 ZX10-R rider myself, I've been contemplating these past few weeks on whether an upgrade to the 2016 is worth it or not. Every bike DEFINITELY has it flaws but apparently after seeing a number of reviews over RUclips, none talked about the con side of the bike. Kudos to you guys for commenting on it. As my local Kawasaki dealer (Singapore) does not allow people to test ride on it, reviews like these are the next best thing to deciding on upgrading/purchasing this bike. It is VITAL to talk about both sides of the coin so keep doing what you guys have been doing!! As mentioned in the video, you guys will be compiling and competing against the rest of the superbikes. Anticipating the review soon!
+Daniel Lin I think the new ZX10R is a fair step up from the older one for being easier to ride. Motor-wise there isn't much in it, although the changes to the motor are a big part of what have made the new bike more capable for what they do to rotating mass affecting the bike's ease of use.
I like that you are not trying to lie like the other reviewers that are stating that this bike is entirely new, instead you are saying like it really is, an improved zx10r. good job :D
Out of all the motorcycle reviewers, I was waiting for you guys. I'm glad to hear an honest opinion without hearing a long list of manufacturer's specs I can read myself.
Word. I can't do every demo and motorcycle shows out there so it's nice to know what you're getting into if you buy XYZ bike. Specs I can read on my spare time ;)
So happy to have found the *"On Two Wheels"* show again!! It used to be on another youTube channel some years ago but it got moved and I had lost track of it since...
I respect you guys for not kissing a manufactures ass, just because they've invited you to a super exclusive launch. so many other magazines and channels really dial back the valid criticisms just to ensure they get invited back next year.
So I'm a pretty tall guy about 6'8" I haven't had time to sit on one and check how comfortable it is. How is the comfort level? compared to the other bikes you've guys have been on(2015-2017). I do agree the bar is set pretty high to contend with but with the price tag of 16,000 i think we get alot of good upgrades for that price, they kept the middle guys price tag in mind. good video guys!!!!!!
The delivery, set up and just generally the way you make your vids is pretty good and refreshing! So much so I've subscribed to your mag all the way from the UK! Keep it up guys.
As a Malaysian, Im so proud that Sepang is one of the most badass track in MotoGP calendar. Really proud that people from other countries come here and enjoyed the track. Although Sepang no longer host SBK and F1, but as long as they still host the MotoGP, Im good.
Zack and Ari rock. Fun reviews and pretty spot on. Don't forget, they also have another channel. They fix and give tips on motorcycles in a garage. Just as good to watch.
Seems like a killer platform. Stock is always soft in the initial reviews. Throw on some aftermarket goodies on all the new bikes and the reviews would be super, super interesting.
your reviews have become the best on RUclips hands down, well done. and since im here allow me to suggest the idea of a comparison between retro looking bikes like triumph street twin / Bonneville / Xsr700 / xsr900 / scrambler / rninet you did an awesome video on the 2 scramblers previously, but now the number of scramblers increased
Very well done video, you guys always have the best content. Seems like if I'm going to be spending that kind of cash on a new sportbike, why not go for the RSV4? The exclusiveness of an Aprilia and that screaming V4 make it so much more appealing to me, not to mention the better electronics styling and finish (imo).
+Matt KOCONUT "That kind of money?" There is a huge price gap between an RSV4 and a ZX10R, not to mention further work on the ZX10R's performance (and asthetics) will cost a lot less
I was speaking to a salesman at my local dealer about this new zx10r, he said is was the same as the older zx10 with new fairings and new decals, said it wasnt worth buying it new as its so similar to the old model, not much of a salesman i know but i appreciate his honesty
if NA ecu restriction is the way you're going to leave it, then yes it is lackluster. However, with a Flash or Euro spec ecu, then it's power rivals the 2015 bmw and the handling of the 2015 r1
+mxpxn That's precisely how I viewed this review. Kawasaki has made an awesome bike even more awesome... but it's going to have to share the top shelf, if it can even reach it.
+Ian Pana I watched other reviews and the stupid euro 4 is slowing the bike down.Just get rid of this ugly pipe and cat +ecu flash and You have a bike that rivals the other bikes.
Perfect analysis of the bike, rode mine for the first time yesterday and came up with the same minor issues. But its all miner that can be tweaked a little to fit my riding. Wish it wasnt 35 degrees Fahrenheit outside and the superbowl was starting... Great review
Great video! Love that we get plenty of action shots of the bike, and even when they are talking about it, they are riding it! I hate those videos where its some guy standing next to a bike mouthing off the whole time--I want to see the bike in action!
When I heard Sepang I was expecting full race exh system and PC. I do 18k miles a year, BMW has few elec problems i cant afford on the road, Ducati not as friendly and $10K more my current zx10 has 70k miles and it has been tank solid bike, so the new 10r with 5K performance parts sound like the route for me.
So here I am, thinkin' hey... I haven't seen a review from Ari and Zack in a while! Plus, I just got my new issue of +Motorcyclist in the mail the other day! Presto, the Internet delivers and here we've got a sweet new video. :D Glad you guys liked it, even if it's not all you'd hoped it would be. Very much looking forward to a comparo with all the best out there. Bikes that are way, way over my skillset, but hey it's fun to check them out on RUclips. :D Also, Zack I dig your helmet man, nice.
Damn, with this and Gromkhana 2 I just watched... when did this happen? When did you guys get so good? You've always been great but honestly, with MC garage, this review everything... you guys are seriously setting the standard. Ari and Zack, way to go! BTW- If you're looking from more retro bikes from a certain Mr. B that used to work in the industry, better call soon as they may be on their way out ;)
Absolutely incredible edit, so far above any other reviews out there. Is there any place someone could purchase those shirts you guys are always wearing?
do you think the brakes not feeling better on track was because the discs and pads wernt run in together properly prior to testing? there were alot of wheels allocated for the testing with discs on. surely they would need running in time to be at their best before going out?
Kawasaki has just kept costs in check that's it :P even after these upgrades which is quiet commendable. Well done Kawasaki! and great work on the review. :D
I'm the happy owner of a 2016 ZX-10R in the Philippines. Is it the best superbike on the market? Maybe, maybe not, but that doesn't matter because it's the best value for money option by a mile in this country. Local prices converted to USD: Yamaha R1 - $21,275; BMW S1000RR - $27,660; Ducati 1299 Panigale S - $41,900; Kawasaki ZX-10R KRT - $17,445. Needless to say, it's an easy decision unless you've got money burning a hole in your pocket.
That intro was nice ! U guys planned that out pretty well..from the states to sepang , good job. =) Like many other readers though.. I am curious. We all know that a few Japanese manufacturers restrict their open class superbikes severely(specially the zx10r ) so its feel a little unfair when comparing against unrestricted bikes like the 1299 and the S1000RR . Any new owner would surely have restricting their bike (ECU flash)at the very top of their mod list and its a pretty cheap fix too. hope you guys can address this ..wont be easy . maybe have two zx10r one stock from the manufacturer and one from a very kind owner whose only mod was un restricting the ecu? i know i know more bikes means more testing and more tires . =/ Good luck guys cant wait to see the 2016 shoot out!
I would love to see some videos. 600 class round up / Naked Bike round up/ Modern Classics vs naked ie thruxton, Honda CB1100, BMW R Nine T style bikes vs Street & Speed triple , fz-09 , Ducati Monster, z1000, cb1000r, cb500f . Comparing every day comfort and 2 up riding along with performance on the street and track !
With the emission & noise levels required by the government stock bike comparisons show little in common with bikes with a ecu re-flash & exhaust system destriction. My friends 2015 R1 picked up massive power increase with ecm tuned reflash & exhaust change.
How does this bike handle compared to the Current Ninja ZX-6R 636.Are they similar or is it the typical supersport nimble vs the less touchy responding superbike when it comes to turn in and changing directions. It looked like it was as quick to steer as a 636 but did it honestly feel that way?
I don't mind the need to get to the high rpms to get the super pulls because the bike will live on the street most of the time. But the "herky jerky" throttle control seems to be a problem. Wonder if this is an easy software fix, and if the fix is done by Kawasaki as opposed to aftermarket. Surprising that I haven't heard this mentioned before in other people's reviews.
I got this bike a month ago..I had a gsxr1000 k5-k6 which was amazing! lots of low and mid range power...on the Kawasaki I feel like it has no low and midrange...wich sucks...I like the suspension,the breaks, the electronics and specially the looks. Any tips on what I could do to improve the low and midrange power?
Great review, guys. No bs plugs or fanboyism. Seems like a pretty capable machine, though. I'm curious as to what the lap times for this look like compared the the rest of the 2016 1000ccs. I'd imagine they'll have some ECU updates for it in the next bit to adjust the throttle issues. My Panigale was a bit laggy back when I bought it but the latest software totally got rid of the lag and jerkiness rolling it on in corners. I could easily mistake it for a cable now.
OK, a few questions. Compared to the S1000RR, the motorcycle gathers faster, has a better response to gas than the BMW 1000RR? Is it faster than S1000RR? Is the motor not too flexible as it has, for example in Z1000? I have a dilemma whether Kawasaki or Bmw 1000RR
Reading through the comment section I couldn't help but noticed how much "butthurt" R1 riders get from this new beast ZX-10R lol. R1 is a great bike, don't get me wrong. But with that kinda appearance the bike offers and those bs recalls. I gotta have to say NO to it. Give this new 10R a filter, full system and reflash that ECU then it's game over for the S1000RR. Better looking than the new R1. Way more reliable than that M-junk S1000RR. It's a clear winner already. Let's take a moment and bow down to this new king of SuperBike: Ninja ZX-10R.
Lol seems like your the one who is butt hurt. Looks are subjective. Still i think the R1 and the ZX10R are the two best looking bikes. And anything with a ecu flashis obviously gonna make it better than a stock bike wtf?
Can traction control issue be fixed with a software update or something? and same question for the "ride by wire" throttle wich are drove by electronics. Because if a revision solves the issue that would suck for first buyers
thing is will kawasaki address the shortcomings that you experienced on the bike? And what about a comparison of the unrestricted bike and akro pipe you can get from kawasaki.
When you make a 2016 superbike shootout, this time please add the best/avg of 3 best laps time at the end of video, i like your reviews but a chart with objective performance at the end will be welcome
+Scooterider1 That was the point. They may start out identical but the WSBK bike is heavily modified and at that point the 16k ZX-10R from a showroom is hardly the same thing. Less so after the rules changes but still. Even the superstock bikes are probably thousands of dollars in parts away from a showroom bike.
+BTrain5489 You are correct but it's still the same bike, engine/frame. That was the point I was trying to make. They kept repeating its not the same bike, when it's obvious that all SBK bikes are highly modified. I've got a feeling it will be deceivingly fast on the track when compared to its rivals.
+BTrain5489 The WSB Kawa was making at least 220-230 rwp last year, so bears little comparison to the street bike, not to mention the lighter weight, better suspension, brakes etc......
Good work guys, thanks a lot. Please tell me, 2016 ZX10R is a good bike for daily usage in a city? I wanna buy it, but I'm in a perfect dilemma between S1000RR (May be 2012 or more) and 2016 ZX10R... Key words as; "Mid-Range Cruising with bags" (mean comfort, and rearguard comfort ;) ) and "Big City usage" Give your offers plz. Take Care...
manufacturers must hate you for being so honest, BUT I thank you for being honest about it, which is rare these days.
keep it up, you've made a fan of me.
Plot Twist: They are sponsored by Yamaha.
best reviewers about motorcycles on the internet hands down. covers everything including cons...which others online do not do. love it. keep it up

Man, I do really quite love this channel, every video is so enjoyable and Ari and Zack are super like-able.
Great edit Guys love the smooth pans and transitions very proffesional :D :D :D Keep up the great work :D
I see see you comment everywhere. Not a bad thing. Idk
joe check my channel
+andrew kasper me too man
I like that you are not trying to lie like the other reviewers that are stating that this bike is entirely new, instead you are saying like it really is, an improved zx10r. good job :D
I like the Duo format, we get to hear both the guy's take! Bravo!
Out of all the motorcycle reviewers, I was waiting for you guys. I'm glad to hear an honest opinion without hearing a long list of manufacturer's specs I can read myself.

It used to be on another youTube channel some years ago but it got moved and I had lost track of it since...
ALL of your reviews are heaps better than all the other motorcycle magazines out there. THANK YOU!
Love how you guys always throw in so quick wheelies here and there lol
Great review can't wait to test one myself!
An actual critical review of a new bike rather than just pandering. That is awesome to see. :)
2:45 that stoppie though
I respect you guys for not kissing a manufactures ass, just because they've invited you to a super exclusive launch. so many other magazines and channels really dial back the valid criticisms just to ensure they get invited back next year.

Great, professional video guys! I just got a zx6r, looking forward to this upgrade in some years time..
I love the honesty of these guys.
As a Malaysian, Im so proud that Sepang is one of the most badass track in MotoGP calendar. Really proud that people from other countries come here and enjoyed the track. Although Sepang no longer host SBK and F1, but as long as they still host the MotoGP, Im good.
What awesome video imagery, love the way the camera shows off the bike as individual items are described. Major props to your video editors!
This new zx10 is beautiful man
Zack and Ari rock. Fun reviews and pretty spot on. Don't forget, they also have another channel. They fix and give tips on motorcycles in a garage. Just as good to watch.
and to add to my first post, do you think the fact it's now brake by wire that you can't actually feel the bite of the 330 over the 310?
Good review. I like it when reviews don't always end up with "this is such a great [insert object being reviewed hete]"
Professional work.
Seems like a killer platform. Stock is always soft in the initial reviews. Throw on some aftermarket goodies on all the new bikes and the reviews would be super, super interesting.
your reviews have become the best on RUclips hands down, well done. and since im here allow me to suggest the idea of a comparison between retro looking bikes like triumph street twin / Bonneville / Xsr700 / xsr900 / scrambler / rninet

+Cobfan990 The RSV4 Come with ABS $200 difference for ABS model $1,200 difference for non abs. not a big difference at all.
+bajabilly2004 Your knowledge of bikes is rubbish.
LOL my bike budget is the most expensive thing in my life but it isn't my Aprilias that are expensive...
Guys - amazing work on the review. The filming and sound quality is brilliant and awesome to watch. Keep up the great work!
I was speaking to a salesman at my local dealer about this new zx10r, he said is was the same as the older zx10 with new fairings and new decals, said it wasnt worth buying it new as its so similar to the old model, not much of a salesman i know but i appreciate his honesty
+Jake Thompson Wow, that saleman must have got his bikes mixed up. The electronic package on it's own makes the 2016 model significantly different.
Really great review. I had high hopes for this thing, but the Euros and Yamaha really set the bar way high.
if NA ecu restriction is the way you're going to leave it, then yes it is lackluster. However, with a Flash or Euro spec ecu, then it's power rivals the 2015 bmw and the handling of the 2015 r1

great review! I'll wait for the 2016 comparison review to choose which one to buy. So far the R1 is my favorite!
Wow Ari great job commenting while riding on the track, it must be really tough!
When I heard Sepang I was expecting full race exh system and PC. I do 18k miles a year, BMW has few elec problems i cant afford on the road, Ducati not as friendly and $10K more my current zx10 has 70k miles and it has been tank solid bike, so the new 10r with 5K performance parts sound like the route for me.
Great quality and format! Keep up the good work
Nice R20 there Ari! Spotted that as soon as you came out the door. Love that pack.
Great review guys. You definitely deserve more views and subscribers. Keep it up :)
You guys did a great job...keep up the good work...thumbs up
The end was too funny! Good video guys!
Great review guys...anxiously waiting for 2016 shootout...Pls dont keep us waiting for a long time..
Love your channel guys , you the best on RUclips!
Awesome production, keep it up guys
I'm badly contemplating btween 2016 s1000rr & 2016 zx10r.. Much appreciated your honest suggestion btween these 2...
So here I am, thinkin' hey... I haven't seen a review from Ari and Zack in a while! Plus, I just got my new issue of +Motorcyclist in the mail the other day! Presto, the Internet delivers and here we've got a sweet new video. :D
Glad you guys liked it, even if it's not all you'd hoped it would be. Very much looking forward to a comparo with all the best out there. Bikes that are way, way over my skillset, but hey it's fun to check them out on RUclips. :D Also, Zack I dig your helmet man, nice.
Nice skills on the track there, Ari!
Great review guys
Awesome video! I'm thinking about getting ride of my ZX6R and buying this bike. Keep up the great work!
The best motorcycle videos I've seen. Thank you!
Great review as always, guys!
Wow! Great vid guys! Keep um coming!
Damn, with this and Gromkhana 2 I just watched... when did this happen? When did you guys get so good? You've always been great but honestly, with MC garage, this review everything... you guys are seriously setting the standard.
Ari and Zack, way to go!
BTW- If you're looking from more retro bikes from a certain Mr. B that used to work in the industry, better call soon as they may be on their way out ;)
Great review guys!
Nice video footage from Sepang!
Absolutely incredible edit, so far above any other reviews out there. Is there any place someone could purchase those shirts you guys are always wearing?
love the reviews guys good shit
do you think the brakes not feeling better on track was because the discs and pads wernt run in together properly prior to testing? there were alot of wheels allocated for the testing with discs on. surely they would need running in time to be at their best before going out?
Getting 2014 zx10r tomorrow morning ... cant wait , power commander , quick shifter ,akro or sc pipe straight away . Sorted
How is it?
@@thepsychicpeach8425 was good had it for a few months then got the 1290 Duke.
Zx10 was quick, but duke is a wheely machine 😁
Kawasaki has just kept costs in check that's it :P even after these upgrades which is quiet commendable. Well done Kawasaki! and great work on the review. :D
Great review guys, love it.
I'm the happy owner of a 2016 ZX-10R in the Philippines. Is it the best superbike on the market? Maybe, maybe not, but that doesn't matter because it's the best value for money option by a mile in this country. Local prices converted to USD: Yamaha R1 - $21,275; BMW S1000RR - $27,660; Ducati 1299 Panigale S - $41,900; Kawasaki ZX-10R KRT - $17,445. Needless to say, it's an easy decision unless you've got money burning a hole in your pocket.
Love these guys. Their hiatus was just grueling
That intro was nice ! U guys planned that out pretty well..from the states to sepang , good job. =)
Like many other readers though.. I am curious. We all know that a few Japanese manufacturers restrict their open class superbikes severely(specially the zx10r ) so its feel a little unfair when comparing against unrestricted bikes like the 1299 and the S1000RR .

Good luck guys cant wait to see the 2016 shoot out!
great review. disappointing that it didn't really leave a mark tho... maybe in 5 years, I guess!
You should have tried the black (track ready) version at sepang, that one is pritty close to a WSB bike.
At 4:48 is the black bike on the left a race replica?......
+Zack Courts Thanks Zack.....
I would love to see some videos. 600 class round up / Naked Bike round up/ Modern Classics vs naked ie thruxton, Honda CB1100, BMW R Nine T style bikes vs Street & Speed triple , fz-09 , Ducati Monster, z1000, cb1000r, cb500f . Comparing every day comfort and 2 up riding along with performance on the street and track !

Hi! please tell me, is the headlight for the zx 10r model 11-15 years and 16-19 different?
I don't mind the need to get to the high rpms to get the super pulls because the bike will live on the street most of the time. But the "herky jerky" throttle control seems to be a problem. Wonder if this is an easy software fix, and if the fix is done by Kawasaki as opposed to aftermarket. Surprising that I haven't heard this mentioned before in other people's reviews.
Another nice vid guys - thanks
I got this bike a month ago..I had a gsxr1000 k5-k6 which was amazing! lots of low and mid range power...on the Kawasaki I feel like it has no low and midrange...wich sucks...I like the suspension,the breaks, the electronics and specially the looks.

My Panigale was a bit laggy back when I bought it but the latest software totally got rid of the lag and jerkiness rolling it on in corners. I could easily mistake it for a cable now.
OK, a few questions.
Compared to the S1000RR, the motorcycle gathers faster, has a better response to gas than the BMW 1000RR?
Is it faster than S1000RR?
Is the motor not too flexible as it has, for example in Z1000?
I have a dilemma whether Kawasaki or Bmw 1000RR
anyone knows the name of the BGM at 4:21 ??????
Reading through the comment section I couldn't help but noticed how much "butthurt" R1 riders get from this new beast ZX-10R lol.
R1 is a great bike, don't get me wrong. But with that kinda appearance the bike offers and those bs recalls. I gotta have to say NO to it.
Give this new 10R a filter, full system and reflash that ECU then it's game over for the S1000RR.
Better looking than the new R1. Way more reliable than that M-junk S1000RR. It's a clear winner already. Let's take a moment and bow down to this new king of SuperBike: Ninja ZX-10R.
+Bam Bam Ehhhhhhhhh, I dunno about that. Hopefully it's in contention.
Lol seems like your the one who is butt hurt. Looks are subjective. Still i think the R1 and the ZX10R are the two best looking bikes. And anything with a ecu flashis obviously gonna make it better than a stock bike wtf?
When you say "filter" what exactly does that mean? What does an aftermarket filter offer?
Wowww, can't wait to see it head to head with all those Superbikes!
I sure like those few seconds at the end with you guys goofing around. Oh... and the rest of the video is ok too :-)
which would be the best tuning liter bike in your opinion?
Cool. Hanging out for the superbike roundup next.
Can traction control issue be fixed with a software update or something? and same question for the "ride by wire" throttle wich are drove by electronics.
Because if a revision solves the issue that would suck for first buyers
Time will tell. It's all software, so you can assume that there will be updates to it.
is it this Kawasaki 2016 throttle is same jerky like Yamaha R1 2013? The sensor of the throttle is too much sensitive. yes?? no???
is it worth buying the 2016 over a now cheaper (possibly seconds hand) 2015 for a day to day ride on the streets??? just curious :)
the tachometer is really a selling point for me ..... it beautiful
thing is will kawasaki address the shortcomings that you experienced on the bike? And what about a comparison of the unrestricted bike and akro pipe you can get from kawasaki.
Great videos. Keep it up!
+Zack Courts Were both Zx10s US Spec? I am guessing Euro spec based on track. Thanks and love you guys videos.
When you make a 2016 superbike shootout, this time please add the best/avg of 3 best laps time at the end of video, i like your reviews but a chart with objective performance at the end will be welcome
Does anyone know where that road he was riding is? I need a little bit of that in my life
It actually is the same bike as SBK but of course modified to the hilt! Thanks for the review! Looking forward to the shootout!
+Scooterider1 watch other reviews, there not such haters
+Scooterider1 That was the point. They may start out identical but the WSBK bike is heavily modified and at that point the 16k ZX-10R from a showroom is hardly the same thing. Less so after the rules changes but still. Even the superstock bikes are probably thousands of dollars in parts away from a showroom bike.
+BTrain5489 You are correct but it's still the same bike, engine/frame. That was the point I was trying to make. They kept repeating its not the same bike, when it's obvious that all SBK bikes are highly modified. I've got a feeling it will be deceivingly fast on the track when compared to its rivals.
+BTrain5489 The WSB Kawa was making at least 220-230 rwp last year, so bears little comparison to the street bike, not to mention the lighter weight, better suspension, brakes etc......
James Marshall That's what I said...
will this compete with the s1000rr in the straight aways?
what arai helmet model are you using? the red and green lining?
what is his helmet type? the arai black one
nice review..good videography
Does it have down shift as well ? Like the BMW
Good work guys, thanks a lot.
Please tell me, 2016 ZX10R is a good bike for daily usage in a city?
I wanna buy it, but I'm in a perfect dilemma between S1000RR (May be 2012 or more) and 2016 ZX10R...
Key words as;
"Mid-Range Cruising with bags" (mean comfort, and rearguard comfort ;) )
and "Big City usage"
Give your offers plz.
Take Care...
Good review fella's
Please test it with the race kit as well.....
Does anyone know if low power mode saves gas? (if traveling at the same speed as high power mode)
