- Answering one of the world's mysteries; Superjet or SXR 1500?
The team at Pro Watercraft compares the two fourstroke stand up watercraft in stock form in all areas -- buoys, drag racing, and take off.
Get feedback from 3 different riders -- a casual ripper, a racer, and a long-time industry pro. Who ride them back to back.
Rather than pick which ones is "superior" we are looking to help you decide which one might be best for your next ride! - Спорт
Great video! I'm watching this because I'm always working, or the weather is terrible, so I can't ever seem to have the time to ride my own PWC, so I live vicariously through UA-cam videos.
Nice work explaining the dynamics. Im not opposed to getting a new or used SJ. I have the SXR 1500 and an old 550.. it’s hilarious switching back and forth because they are so different. SXR is so much fun on a slalom buoy course but 550 is my wave jumper.
Right on!! Jetskis are like ice cream, different flavors! Thank you for watching. :)
Thank you guys.
Cool video! Great content 👌
Thanks for watching.
Great video, love the perspective from 3 different riders. Wish these skis would race in the same class...need that manufacture battle like we had back in the day. Plus do we really need more classes ? So good to see another stand up ski made, 2021 should be a good year for PWC.
The sxr has too much power to race against the superjet so the superjet class will be more like a lites class.
@@caseykleeschulte4862 I understand that, that’s why I said I wish they’d race in the same class...Just tired of seeing new classes formed every time a new ski is made. Still really excited to see another standup out there
@@synergywraps gotchya! If we got rid of some of the less popular runabout classes and maybe tossed in a super chicken class it would be way better haha
@@caseykleeschulte4862 couldn't agree more, There should be a super chicken class at all races especially the World Finals.
God I love the stand up jet skis sooo fun lol need to just give in and buy one
Love your video's! Helped me a lot with my choise buying the SX-R 1500. What camera mount you use at 14:38? It makes really good moving video angles. :-)
I had an sxr800 10 years ago. i'm planning on maybe get back to jetskis and try the 1500.
even tho my 800 was not as good as a superjet for freestyle, i could do enough to have fun, and power was perfect for me.
What i'm wondering is if you can submarine a 1500 like i could with my 800. Wether it was by bunny hop or jumping a big wake, because that was the thing i liked the most, jump a good wake, wide open then push the front end and dive in the water, damn that was fun!
Tell Chris Hagest, Perry Wright from Texas said Hi. Fun times in the old school days.
I like the different perspectives reviews. Wish they'd make a best of both worlds 'perfect' ski.
Actually they do...TR1 turbo in the Kommander or PWR hull. I own one and it's the fastest best handling ski I've ever owned.
The SXR 800 was exactly that
Watched a bunch of videos and I rather get an SXR before a superjet. I love the Yami's look though and would get one after an sx
Nostalgic✨54 years old in Japan！I used to be crazy about racing💪💪💪
57 years old in Texas, and I use to race with Chris Hagest, in 93-94, as a Novice & Expert.
I had a 2005 SXR 800 and loved it. Really considering the new SJ though
Same newer sxr 4 stroke 👎👎👎
If you already owned a modified two stroke Superjet and want more speed for rough water, would you buy the SXR or '21 Superjet? I'll be keeping the Superjet.
Thank you for the fair review, i been seeing nothing but praise and exaggeration on the superjet. I own a sxr 1500 and thinking about adding a superjet later, and I appreciate the true unbiased review.
More to come! Thanks for watching.
I think I'll stick to my bean oil burning square nose! And I was so looking forward to the new SJ. What a letdown.
I have a old 550 and I love it, but unlike other 550 owners I'm not a mechanic. I need a ski i can gas and go and pay to get fixed if I need to. Where I live no mechanic will touch my machine. I think I want the new superjet, I'm just worried it won't be much fun. I d love to see a review on the new superjet that isn't race focused, more on tricks and fooling around, novice style.
Great vid!!
I've always been about Yamahas , I couldn't wait anymore and bought an SXR two weeks before the superjet came out. Ha
I love this sxr so much I have no regrets.. and I wiped on it in 15minuts and broke 4 ribs.. haha
Seriously you broke four ribs? Just hitting the water?
@@georgehoneymen6045 I don't remember and don't know if I hit the ski but water is like concrete going that fast.
@@georgehoneymen6045 O yes, did that too. But only 2 ribs. Stay on the SX-R at top speed or plan a shorter map in stead of cruising at full throttle.
Never had a stand up skis but had both Kawasaki and Yamaha sit downs and the Yamaha is the least stable even my 1997 stx 900 was more stable than a 2021 Yamaha EX
Want to rip through the buoys, buy an SXR. Want to freeride, buy a superjet. That's how it's always been.
Perfectly stated.
isn't the Kawi 4four stroke as well?
Do the same comparison after all the mods! But honestly they aren’t made to be compared. If they were I think we would have seen a bigger motor and bigger hull. Yamaha went for something a little more playful and lighter and that’s why there is a full different “4 stroke lites” class.
I love my sxr but In a few years I’ll buy a ragged 4 stroke super jet to build
Chris, how would you compare the smoothness of the throttle between the Superjet and a stock 2-stroke SXR800. I find the SXR800 to not be pipey at all for beginners. What about slow speed stability between the two also.
Thx
In stock form, the new SuperJet actually feels quite a bit slower than the 800 SXR. A few motor mods and that should perk it up a little. Stability is close to the same between this ski and the SXR 800. This ski air draws quite a bit, so it doesn't want to turn as well as the SXR 800 -- but we're on it! Cool mods on the way.
@@ProwatercraftCOM LOL so an 800 SXR that could be OVER 10 years old handles better, and has a stronger engine than the new Superjet. Love it. Great! When can we get a company that is okay with making a FUN standup that is also fun on the course? You're telling me Yamaha, Kawasaki, or SeaDoo cant make a "fun AND competitive" standup? (I do know SeaDoo never made a standup but definitely could, just chose no to) I call BULL! Probably just not enough buyers in this market segment? IDK but am I the only one getting sick of paying an arm and a leg for 550 650/750 skis and parts that are 25 or 30 years old at this point. Is there anyone in the industry that is concerned about us, or probably not really? Wish there was because I'd feel a lot more comfortable spending 8-12k on a ski that doesn't just PLOW through the water. I know you guys don't make these skis but man I'm frustrated with what is actually available for this segment of standup riders.
I learned to actually ride fast on my 1500 but every time I hop on another ski they can’t turn tight and as fast as my sxr. Only other ski I’ve ever rlly liked for buoys is my 94 reed 550.
Gimme dat Tech
What lake is this?
I'm looking to pickup a 1500 next year
Rad! Make sure you get some PWR rear sponsons ;)
The SJ is almost there
So the super jet would be better for surf riding on the jersey shore?
At least better than the 1500.
I love my SXR. I'm buying an old 550 soon.
ua-cam.com/video/pdVh0t_Kd6E/v-deo.html
We have lots of cool stuff for 550s too.
it looks to me that the sj may be a better choice for surf riding in the sea..
Basically in a nutshell the new Yamaha SJ falls short. Congratulations Yamaha you had a perfect chance at giving Kawasaki a black eye and you failed.... I'm not partial to either brand as I happily own both brands.To sum it up they'll have to make a class for the superjet, how disappointing. Reminds me of the Blaster/HX days but thankfully I was an HX owner. As far as freestyle, I'll stay on the much smaller and lighter SJ or spend the 10k on a Krash Ind. ski... Thanks PWR for the unbiased review.
Thanks for watching!
@@JetSkiSuper7 sorry guy but yamaha designed the new super-jet correct to bring new folks to the water again with an easy to ride L-mode- ski knowing the big Kawhi is an ocean racer
Speed was not the point,selling skis yo new riders was and yamaha hit a home run!
How about the nose weight. I have three seasons on an SX-R. Top speed is incredible, power too, however being "old" and having seasons on a 300, 550, 650, and a few rides on a 750... the SX-R feels larger. It doesn't turn as easy, thus the comments on "man handling". I have been able to run courses and find it as capable. Jumping is amazing and I've been high in the air. However, I know the SX-R is nose heavy with the gas tank up front. How does the Yamaha feel with jumping, and weight distribution? How about freestyle? Kawasaki is too buoyant for some old tricks. Next, tail spin. SX-R sticks to the water so long as I have my inside foot at the back. It will not let go. Wonder and assume the Yamaha has the same feeling. Thanks for a great video.
Our biggest plus with the SuperJet has been its size in comparison to the SXR. The SXR has its moments but the SuperJet is a lot easier to maneuver for goofing around and freeriding, tail spins, stands and jumps are much easier. Now when it comes to "freestyle" they both might be too heavy -- maybe we need to do some proper tricks to see!
I hear a stage one kit and you’re at 60 mph on the sj
I'd like to see how the superjet does after the steering angles are changed. Seems to be set up on newbie steering.
The purpose of this video was to give our impressions of the Yamaha out of the box (minus the mats we added). We have other videos where we discuss upgrades and options.
Yamaha all day.
Gotta go with the Kawasaki, they started it all!
flat best carv...takes time...kawi....great fun....2001 jet owner 95 sxi until 99 then sj
Long shot: can I have a jet ski???
i tried a sxr and a 2021 superjet and the superjet is better for what i do 50% i jump boats wake the other 50% i am ripping the bouy course and going full to my freind beach house
If you want to go fast get a Sxr if you want to go slow get a sj
😂😂😂
Jet girl😍
the sxr looks more bad ass
These are like full size waverunners of the 90’s size that they put handle poles on, what turds, my 750sxi would keep up, it will do 54mph but its a squirly 54mph😅 they just dont seem fun or challenging anymore
When to a Yamaha dealership last week .I asked if thay had a super jet I could look at he said no. I asked ware I could see one .He said I wouldn't try to get one thay sale 500 a year per state or something like that I think it was less then that .I just left and side guess I have to by a kawasaki.And get this he yes you do. IF YOU NWOW OF THIS PLEASE LET US ALL NO. It just easier to by green it seems.
I really wanted to hear the skis but instead got nothing but boots and pants.
carv on yammy.......let up on gas lean gogogo...way more stable than sxi to heavy for lake michigan..long boats go thru not over......hangten back in
Used windsurfer is better
Wow they made that Superjet ugly AF!....Can you slide either of those two sideways like we did with the 1988 Kawasaki 650? If not, I'll just watch videos of those old ski's and not get a new one.....
Who the hell calls themselves QUICKSTAR lmao , eventually there will be electric superjets in your last comment , no shit.
@@Bronson9822 Lmfao. I run into QUICK-STAR on almost every personal watercraft video that I come across. All he does is talk shit. I’m pretty sure his mother took his teddy bear away from him as a kid or something lol.
I'll admit that it's not as pretty as the round nose but it's actually still really cool. Honestly I like the square nose best anyway.
Kawasaki sxr 👎👎👎but that's just me
@@JetSkiSuper7 you mean the yacht, yeah I have its huge doesn't take much talent to ride one in my opinion, I like smaller skis and I like the old sxr not the new one
If you're not a pro level rider, you won't like it. Sounds like you just don't have the skill to really utilize that ski to its fullest potential
@@stustockwell just don't ride fat chick's🤣 hands down the yamaha is a better ski the new sxr is junk in my opinion
@@stustockwell and if the yamaha isn't a better ski tell people to stop buying them lol see how that goes and why does everyone want one lol oh that's right its not a good ski man I know people that are practically giving away their fully built sxrs to get the new stock superjet
@@stustockwell I’ve ridden both. The SX-R is way better. Not to mention probably more reliable too. My trailer consisted of a modded 04 SX-R & a modded 07 Superjet. Ended up selling my Superjet. It definitely had the better hull in terms of jumping waves but it had a habit of leaving me stranded. Now I’ve got my 800 & 1500 & I’ve never had any problems with either ski. 1500 is a tank but it hauls ass.
Looks like the stand ups have gone gay!!
