I think it's the cross plane for the R1 that people love. A liter bike is a beast for your everyday rider. Just take your pick, and you'll be in love. You have 2 inline 4's already, including a Kawi. That's why I thought you would get the R1. The ZX10 is definitely the superior bike for price, tech, and speed.
Definitely a better daily driver as well the seating position in the R1 is super aggressive and uncomfortable after a long time still a beast of a bike
@ 6:03 agreed. The 10's are not very popular unless you live in India. One of my subscribers who lives in India, says Kawasaki are the most popular over there.
2:55 I reeeally like how once you saw the space to be able to ride a bit spiritedly, you stopped talking and put your undivided focus where it needed to be. 👊 Ps - is that a stock exhaust and tune?
07 GSXR 600 here. Im between the cbr1000rr and the zx10r for the next bike. 👀 Not even gonna start looking until next summer, but sat on a zx10r last week. That was a mistake. 😅 So surprised at how comfortably my short and small ass fit on that bike.
I started my journey looking for a CBR600RR, wound up with a couple 07 GSXR600s. Not mad about it at all. I'm still only sticking with Suzuki if I got 750. Between the ZX10R and CBR1000RR otherwise.
I would love to own a zx10, ninja's have always been screamers. It really came down to the zx10, r1, and s1000rr for me. The price tag on the zx10 really tempted me. Ended up on the s1, but when i want a change, i think ill go for a zx10.
Beautiful bike and beautiful scenery. We have snow where I am but it looks like you're still being blessed with fall weather where you are - lucky guy. How long do winters last (in general) where you're located?
U made a great choice remember the r1 has the old fashioned headlights with only 1 side that lights up for low beam. We are many people always going to say you have one light out.
Choosing a bike over another one because of the headlight system is the dumbest f*cking comment ever, to start off you can put ride with the high beams on all the time, which i do with my yamaha r6 that has the same headlight system and i believe it's actually better because that way i have a better chance for drivers to see me. The r1 is the best choice over all, the kawi it's a really good bike, but no bike can match the sound of the crossplane, hand down best sound in the world, the kawasaki just sounds like everything else on the road😂😂
Both are bad-arse'd bikes but did I hear right that the R1 is not gonna be manufactured any longer? I think they are beautiful bikes but being honest w/ myself I'd say it's way more bike than most need. More than I need for sure & that makes this ZX10r the same. HEY, did the bike come with the steering stabilizer installed or did you add it as a protection? I see mostly Suzuki's doing the wobbles but I guess any bike can do this? peace man. ty & GB ALL
i know 2 people who had zx10s, one has a cbr 1000 the other has a naked, both say the same, zx10r faster and the cbr guy said it was more comfortable too
@ That was a rumor going around because they discontinued the R6. Yamaha never said they were discontinuing the R1. They just updated it for 2025, and will continue to make them for the US market. They did stop production for certain countries though
@ It just updated all the tech to be competitive, and power has always been in range, especially when tuned. To this day, most would be choosing between R1 and Zx10R while ignoring the others
Aint nobody buying a motorcycle cause of no damn leaderboard or stats. i had $8000 to play with, mfs was begging me to buy their ducati and kawasaki zx10r, i got the 2009 Crossplane R1 cause of personality and rarity, speed wasnt on the list or looks or ownership cost.
POs bike hate that they mounted everything on the fairing not that the r1 is better because it’s not but I really wanted a zx10 but they are nightmares
Beautiful bike! Also, the ZX10 is a better bike. Well, for track days. Yamaha getting that bump because of the end of the street lines. Sad for Europe. Affects the whole industry.
These have been great since the 04 model. Congrats man.
They started in 04.
@DSOXBLADE well...technically in 1988
Actually it was 1986 when the first ZX10 came out, and the ZX10R in 04.
It's funny when ppl be like I like the color screen I only look at my screen at stop lights 😂

5:48 😂😂😂 did this man say "combuffaluffa?" What in the heezy?? I'm using that, lol.
Im in cali, most of our dealers have the 2025 R1 already & ready for purchase.
@ 6:03 agreed. The 10's are not very popular unless you live in India. One of my subscribers who lives in India, says Kawasaki are the most popular over there.
We only got 10r , Ducati and BMW in terms of 1000cc category with 10r being the cheapest 1000cc bike. 10r and z900 are the top sellers in India.
@@Ashish_Tirkey- Makes sense. Yeah, the z900's are awesome bikes.

I'm a Suzuki man, but if I had to change the ZX10 or 14 would be in my garage.
They sadly stopped making the 14. They could at least release a ZX13 tho

Who did the tune?
where did you get your key tag from
#KawiGang!! Congrats bro!!🏍💨

I heard most dealers won’t have r1 until spring I will be waiting for the 25r1
Whatup JAY!
Missed ya, ma man

" Let the Good Times Roll" !
Inline 4 baybayyyyy!!!
R1
Sounds better
Looks better imo
Agreed and I'm a Kawai guy

beautiful scenery man
If i only knew the zx10 has a cruise control id never get the R1 lol damn it
Is that an Out the Door price? What shop did you get it from
great choice, enjoy man
Race Reaper1k or Rocket Taxi or La Pearl racing. They all have R1’s and i guarantee you they dont lose as much as you may think. 👀
99 percent I have seen them winning
Facts
He’s talking stock, you’re talking about bikes that are built for roll racing
@ he didn’t say that “that i heard” he just said “The R1”.
Well on paper it’s one of the slowest along with the CBR1k from factory and that’s just the facts
i know 2 people who had zx10s, one has a cbr 1000 the other has a naked, both say the same, zx10r faster and the cbr guy said it was more comfortable too
Get some helibars for your 10. You won’t regret it.
What's the diff between KRT and standard ninjas?
Difference is only in fairings, KRT is the traditional green etc
I can never return to inline 4 anymore after owning several of them. V4 all the way
R1 probably are going to hold their price for a while longer because 2024 is the last year-discontinued,I believe.
Nope, they just updated the R1 for 2025
I heard that Yamaha is discontinuing the R1 thought 2024 was it guess they’re running it back one more year?

@@TheDougSpotI’d be shocked if it ever gets a full redesign and it really needs one to keep up with competitors

Kawi gang 💚
Wings are just dumb unless your racing competitively.
5% more downforce! 5% of what 5 lb. ? 😂
To me, the ZX10R just looks nicer to me

cruise control
Ok Roswell when I see it 😂
Motomac tv is a content creator with a zx10
Still available in 25 but Yamaha is still much more uncomfortable.
POs bike hate that they mounted everything on the fairing not that the r1 is better because it’s not but I really wanted a zx10 but they are nightmares

Sounds awesome... 👌
I don't like the sound of R1 with the crossplane engine 😅
I love this Bike!
Superbikes arent meant to be luxurious. Rawness and aggression....not wheelie control and abs.
I ride from an era where superbikes didn't have cruise control .....y'all got soft.
Sucks to be you... technology came a long way. We aint soft... we buy new bikes that come with it already, not some 2005 dinosaurs😂
@KayBee.R1 well enjoy that cruise control on the way to your soy latte! 😜
