I am now the proud owner of a 2025 ZX10R KRT ABS Edition. I just picked it up last Thursday. She sure is a beauty. It was like looking for a Unicorn. No one on Florida had any and I was on many waiting lists. Finally Sky Powersport, Cocoa Florida called me last Tuesday to tell me the had just gotten one and if I was still looking. I said Heck Ya, and now she is mine.
I have a 2016 ZX-10R KRT ABS, bought it new, and I will never sell it. Let me tell you guys, these bikes are incredible! I started with a filter/flash, and that really woke things up. After a few years I went to an Exhaust, Re-Flash, Bunch of Bolt on Parts, and Finally a K-Tech rear Shock and K-Tech Rebuilt front forks. My bike Dynoed 198rwhp at 14 200rpm. Its SO smooth and friendly under 7000 rpm, above that is explosive and just a wild ride. The BFF front fork, is IMOH the ultimate front end, and the Brembo M50's with matching Master and Discs are unreal. These new models are even better, and the aftermarket support is insane! a New ZX10R where I life is $22K Canadian, a new Panigali V4 is $33K. So if you get the ZX10R, you have 11K for mods, tires, leathers and trackdays!
Mate the r1 had a bit of an update in 2020 but since then just clouds have changed very slightly , the cp4 motor for that bike has been around since 2009 , updated in 15 and another in 20 , iv got a 23 r1 and my son has a 17 , never had a problem with it , I also had a 2016 10r when they first came out , re-call on the gearbox back then and never had a problem, all bikes with full exhaust, filter , intake flap eliminate and flashed all put out about 195 at the wheel but here in new zealand we get the full power models whereas the states get the de-tuned versions, done by different ecu's depending on country
@@gregsmith9470 thanks for watching! I may have misspoken that CP4 is a new technology. What I meant to say is that even that engine (as you mentioned) has undergone updates over the years. Whereas the ZX10R hasn’t changed a single spec for a while now.
@@emadreviewshas changed ? The engine has definitely changed. The Gen 6 has a new cylinder head to include finger followers, more compression & it now has titanium rods if I'm not mistaken. Big difference from the Gen 5
What I don’t understand is why Kawi is still putting rubber brake lines on all that hardware. Nobody really needs a 1000 in the tight mountains. 600 is plenty. Or a nice triple. I don’t like long wheel base on zx10. Zx6r is much better bike. I do like the forks on zx10 and GsXr. If you got a blipper it better work good false neutrals suck. I agree I don’t understand Yamaha either on braking. I would never buy European bikes other than maybe Triumph. I’ve had them all.
They have to save money. The bike hasn't changed much since 2016.....2011 if we are being honest. Emissions testing is more difficult and expensive. The only reason to buy this bike vs the Suzuki or Yamaha is price. If they start adding better xxx, the price increases, and it won't be competitive in sales..... We will pretend it is at this point
For average street use the KYB suspensions are definitely adequate enough. For extreme track racing, these Showa’s do a better job according to what I have heard. Thanks for watching!
Same here. I love technology. I have bikes with technology. I also have bikes without and it seems like they are just so much more fun to ride. Nothing cutting the throttle response, no safety used to keep the bike from looping other than my right hand. That’s when you know you can ride a goddamn bike. Tech a lot of the times is false safety. IMHO. PS, racing background from the age of 5. I’m now 48.
So I'm sitting here watching this, first time seeing this channel... When he gets on the bike and starts riding, I realize I rode up there just a few days ago to check out that motorcycle dealership and see what they had on offer. I probably won't be back there, but it was a trip seeing him start to ride, and I'm like, "why does this place feel familiar?" I wasn't really listening when he said the name of the dealership, so I didn't catch it then. But the white truck pulling out with the Washington plate at around 18:16 prompted me to double-check. 😂
These graphics does look better than the previous one with all the red and black. It was just too much. This is more minimalistic. Whereas the all green looks best of course. Would be great when there will be a all green Ninja zx6r 2025 💚🥷. 12:00 i hope the next generation will look like the 2024 zx6r. It looks really badass.
Sir... be careful. Idk how good the traction control is but I'd be scared shitless exiting corners on a liter bike as my first bike and loosing the rear wheel. Gotta be careful spinning the back tire at lean on a 1000. Highsides are scary
Surprised at the commuter score. One of the very few bikes that comes with cruise control standard. I’d still rate it about the same since no gas gauge. Had mine since the first year of the redesign and I can say I love this bike. Great review cheers
Don't care about an auto blipper. Us old school racers enjoy playing the clutch. Don't need a bike becoming closer to an automatic Take away most of the electronics and make prices and the experience GREAT AGAIN!
Old school clutching loses time and acceleration when compared to a quickshifter. 100%. And when most bikes get tuned, the quickshifter (ms) is as fast as 45-50 milliseconds. The hand can never replicate that speed in shifting. And with each shift, even if you are losing just 250 milliseconds for every shift, by the time you shift to 5th gear, you've already lost a full second. This accumulates exponentionally if/when racing around a track and every time you hand shift. If you don't believe it, take a.look at any motorcycle Dragy slip on Google. You will see the acceleration graph (orange) drop down when the shift is slow, and the speed line (blue) will show a lull or flat spot in the speed. A blue line with minimal to no visible seen kink in the line is a sick fast shift, also noted by how small the drop in the orangle (acceleration) line is.
For.real that we're some dope details.just found your channel and really appreciated the zx review.nowdays no-one seems to care about Kawasaki, suzuki etc. everyone buys Ducati or BMW and some RR-SP.🎉 Lets hope the R1 will be back for 2026. Cheer's from Greece ❤❤
nice video, only thing i don't agree with is adding aftermarket quickshifter doesn't cost thousands of dollars to buy and have installed professionally... If it does, your getting ripped all the way off. Second aftermarket quickshifters are usually "better" because you can tweak your settings without being on a dyno. Flashing and or dynoing your stock QS is always the best way to go.
They have the logo because of the accomplishments of the bike in the WSBK. Also, from 2023 through 2025, apart from colour scheme, there is no change in the UK to the 10r.
The issue is are you wise enough and mature enough to ride a super bike, without killing yourself and getting slammed into the pavement by LE for riding stupid fast?
While the 10 will make a fantastic racebike, 99.9% of riders would be better off with a Ninja 1000SX, but they won't admit it because they might not look so cool in front of their buddies at bike night. I'd argue that bike is 10X better for most street riders than the 10R is.
It’s about what you love, you choose a bike with your heart. I will always get a superbike over a naked or cruiser. I feel in love with bikes because of superbikes.
My dad has the 24' 1000sx, that thing boogies. The front end comes right up when you give it some juice. It's has the same 0-60 and top speed as my 24' zx6r. My only gripe is that the bike feels cramped, I wish the seat length was a little bit further back. The bike handles like a dream though. I wouldn't mind having one but I'd pick my bike every time just based off looks and space. The zx6r feels very spacious (I'm 5'7)
Thanks for your response. Superbikes and supersports are my favorite. I find leaning into the wind better at high speeds. Naked bikes do look good though.
I'm going to save you all alot of time and money you get a 2020zx10r and save a ton of money and have one of the best 👌 bikes I've had 18 different motorcycles and I got a 2020zx10r and I will never get rid of it and after riding it I have desire to ever ride anything else this bike will just do it for you it will reach out and touch your soul
The Showa suspension yes its very good but its not the best aftermarket suspension out there. The Ohlins FGR 300/301 are what I would call the best you can get but I dont see them putting a 10k USD dollar fork on a bike from factory.
Yoo tq for thw video ...i just saved up for 6r 2025 .... and was confused to save up more and get 10r or do i really need liter engine and all those electronics .... thankfully i dont need 10r for my riding style..for no ......, god bless you with a beautiful wife and safe rides ❤
@@youngsquidling2545 i would recommend finding a 2021 model of this bike! It isn’t gonna be the first model year (2020), and it isn’t gonna be expensive and they are all the exact same with the exception of color. Hopefully by doing so you don’t have to finance or at least finance a smaller chunk. With high interest rates these days that can add up.
I have a 2023 KRT,,, U dont have to remove the two hex bolts to remove the driver seat,,,thier is a bracket u slide to the side and remove then u lift the driver seat up in the back slide it foward,,,I got mine with one mile on it currently has a little over seven thousands...I love it better than my Suzuki's ive had...I would say my cbr 1000 rr was a little bit more comfortable.
You are correct. Not as straight forward to remove but yes it can be done without tools! Thanks for your correction. I wish they had done what most other ninjas have (a cable pull).
I've always had Kawasaki and I was looking for my first leader bike. Did not like the new colours ( desperately wanted the matte black which was not released in the UK ) I've just purchased the Yamaha R1 in all black and I'm loving it 👌
my 2 cents ... 50 something squid with highly moded gen 3 which would smoke this bike in 97% of situations however once you go down that road they are fun as fuck but overkill for keeping your licence and the canyons you end up just wanting to take it to the track and buy a sit up righty for riding with your mates oh and ur mates get pissy and delicate when u smoke em to often on their exotics .
I let you know this bike is nothing less than a cbr1000rrr fireblade. Honda has a better electronics for riding mode and suspension settings while they are manually adjustable on ninja zx10r and cruise control is a bonus that Honda fails😅 . In total they are the same machine for road riding speeding and cornering out of the Track but the price €$£
@@JamesWilson-lg7bx compare base models please. CBR1000RR has Tokico, Yamaha has in-house unbranded, and Gixxer although has a brembo, it is the absolute cheapest brembo they could find. The point of my discussion is that no matter what brand you go to, their same-class liter bikes are equipped with cheaper brakes/suspensions.
In my opinion these bikes have way too much electronics on them now. I think it can create a bad rider who becomes used to all these features in which the bike basocally rides itself. Like they have cornering mode, wheelie mode, engine braking LOL. Then you put that rider on an older liter bike without all these features and next thing you know he gets out of control and there is no electronics to save him and splat.
@@jasonb9629 I agree that too much electronics can hinder one’s ability to learn how to be a good rider, but keep in mind a ZX10R is not a trainer motorcycle. The rider should be a VERY competent motorcyclist already by the time they own one of these. The tech is simply an added safety which all can be disabled with push of a button if you wish to do so. In my video of Ninja 650 (which I think is a great trainer bike), I do mention how well of a job Kawasaki has done by not giving it too many electronic features. Thanks for watching!
@@emadreviews Well if you even scroll down a bit you will see that there are people buying these bikes as their first ever motorcycle which I think is beyond insane. Its just not the way to do it. My first bike was a GSXR-600 and even that was a bit much for a beginner.
@@jasonb9629I just bought my first personal motorcycle with years in between riding one. I agree. No way I was looking to buy a liter bike. Granted this would have probably been one of the bikes on my list if that were the case. But all in all, I ended up with a 2023( 2022 styling) Triumph 765 RS. A bike that’s light, more comfortable for commuting, excellent handling, brakes, linear power, with just enough assistance without hindering the bike. 2900 miles since April and I couldn’t be happier. Maybe a liter bike will fall into the collection years from now. For now, 128 Hp is plenty 🤷♂️
What a load of rubbish, new liter bikes are a different animal to the older ones, make much more power traction control is needed, electronics dont help you ride they are there as a safety net. Most people who are anti electronics usually ride an old dinosaur that isn't quick enough to require them anyway
@@gunnyhighway4422 Buddy your a load of rubbish. If you need a bike to hold your hand because you dont have the skills to handle that much power then you should stick with your little 600cc Ninja! Im not gonna entertain your little pissing contest but I raced in the Superbike class on a CBR1000RR SP Fireblade. I would hardly call that a dinosaur.
That ABS bullshit is malarkey. I took the ABS off of my ZX 14 R and I stop around 15 to 20 feet better. Did the same thing on my Hayabusa. Same results.
200 at the crank. 180 at the rear wheel. The description on the screen explains how it goes from 200HP to 180. As for modifications, that’s not the focus of this video. This is purely a review on the stock bike. Thanks for watching!

There is an all black 2025 ZX10R tho. However you can’t go wrong with the R1! Be safe and enjoy
abs is for riders who can’t ride i said what i said
my 2 cents ... 50 something squid with highly moded gen 3 which would smoke this bike in 97% of situations however once you go down that road they are fun as fuck but overkill for keeping your licence and the canyons you end up just wanting to take it to the track and buy a sit up righty for riding with your mates oh and ur mates get pissy and delicate when u smoke em to often on their exotics .
amazing review
Thanks for watching!
I absolutely love this bike, only problem it is not comfortable for daily commute, made for track.
Jesus the exhaust is the size of the moto 😂
That’s Kawasaki for you! However they did pretty well with the Ninja 650’s exhaust design. Check that video out on my channel.
I let you know this bike is nothing less than a cbr1000rrr fireblade. Honda has a better electronics for riding mode and suspension settings while they are manually adjustable on ninja zx10r and cruise control is a bonus that Honda fails😅 . In total they are the same machine for road riding speeding and cornering out of the Track but the price €$£
Yeah as I said at the start of the video, all these bikes are almost the same. But there are ups and downs with each model. Thanks for watching!
Top tier bike review.
Thanks for watching!!
I want one in 5 years when I can actually use it. For now zx6r is plenty of bike
n1100sx?
no way the zx10 has a more premiumm feel than the fireblade lol
No fun without SC project ❤
DO THE MUFFLER REALLY HAVE TO BE THAT HUMONGOUS?
nose fairing is ugly looks like megatron. i wish they would redesign that
love the bike and the color 💪💪💪💪
Where are you getting your information from the other brands absolutely have Brembo brakes and now Yamaha is putting on their MT 09. SP,look it up
@@JamesWilson-lg7bx compare base models please. CBR1000RR has Tokico, Yamaha has in-house unbranded, and Gixxer although has a brembo, it is the absolute cheapest brembo they could find. The point of my discussion is that no matter what brand you go to, their same-class liter bikes are equipped with cheaper brakes/suspensions.
Outdated? Are we waiting for the bikes to drive themselves?
ZX 10 did what? Are you on planet earth? Won the last 6 ? I’m so weak right now 😂😂😂😂
How is it outdated?
Hmm only if there was a video answering that question 😭
I prefer taller seat height bikes like the R1
The livery the only thing feels outdated
There's a reason he's not comparing this to the gsxr1000r 😂😂
And why is he not comparing it to the gsxr1000r??
I'm trying to decide which one to buy between the two and the Honda cbr1000rr
Sorry that's colours not clouds
could my man comment on the 2025 Honda Fireblade?
My father buys no abs because it slows down his track times
In my opinion these bikes have way too much electronics on them now. I think it can create a bad rider who becomes used to all these features in which the bike basocally rides itself. Like they have cornering mode, wheelie mode, engine braking LOL. Then you put that rider on an older liter bike without all these features and next thing you know he gets out of control and there is no electronics to save him and splat.
@@jasonb9629 I agree that too much electronics can hinder one’s ability to learn how to be a good rider, but keep in mind a ZX10R is not a trainer motorcycle. The rider should be a VERY competent motorcyclist already by the time they own one of these. The tech is simply an added safety which all can be disabled with push of a button if you wish to do so. In my video of Ninja 650 (which I think is a great trainer bike), I do mention how well of a job Kawasaki has done by not giving it too many electronic features. Thanks for watching!
@@emadreviews Well if you even scroll down a bit you will see that there are people buying these bikes as their first ever motorcycle which I think is beyond insane. Its just not the way to do it. My first bike was a GSXR-600 and even that was a bit much for a beginner.
@@jasonb9629I just bought my first personal motorcycle with years in between riding one. I agree. No way I was looking to buy a liter bike. Granted this would have probably been one of the bikes on my list if that were the case.
But all in all, I ended up with a 2023( 2022 styling) Triumph 765 RS.
A bike that’s light, more comfortable for commuting, excellent handling, brakes, linear power, with just enough assistance without hindering the bike. 2900 miles since April and I couldn’t be happier.
Maybe a liter bike will fall into the collection years from now. For now, 128 Hp is plenty 🤷♂️
What a load of rubbish, new liter bikes are a different animal to the older ones, make much more power traction control is needed, electronics dont help you ride they are there as a safety net. Most people who are anti electronics usually ride an old dinosaur that isn't quick enough to require them anyway
@@gunnyhighway4422 Buddy your a load of rubbish. If you need a bike to hold your hand because you dont have the skills to handle that much power then you should stick with your little 600cc Ninja! Im not gonna entertain your little pissing contest but I raced in the Superbike class on a CBR1000RR SP Fireblade. I would hardly call that a dinosaur.
That ABS bullshit is malarkey. I took the ABS off of my ZX 14 R and I stop around 15 to 20 feet better. Did the same thing on my Hayabusa. Same results.
180hp??? This bike hase about 203hp and with RamAir 213...and on 16:30 you also say "200hp bike"...
200 at the crank. 180 at the rear wheel. The description on the screen explains how it goes from 200HP to 180. As for modifications, that’s not the focus of this video. This is purely a review on the stock bike. Thanks for watching!
2025 model (if there will be one) will be revised due to the EU5+ regulation.
Bikes from the 80s and 90s are plenty fast enough for the road all this talk is only for racing.
You don't need technology and led and all that other b******* you crack that throttle it's going to take off and leave your ass😂😂😂😂
why does the japanese put passenger pegs on all of their superbikes!!???
It has 203 hp, not 180hp
180 at the wheel 203 at the crank, big difference
forks should be gold
