Video: Onboard a MotoGP mechanic's tuned Kawasaki ZX-10R

[b42l4t4k]

RIP kawasaki for MotoGP :))

[BassRiderX]

Get the GoPro and make HD vids just like this

[paperlessanimation]

i wish they also put braking pressure telemetry. that way we know when they apply braking before the corner and how much.

[vegittoru]

very smooth and very controlled, love the speed on change of direction.... oh how i miss track days!

[k0ent]

whats the white stuf you can see at 1:32 at the end of the straights?

[Sommasmokes420]

@k0ent it looks like chalk powder. laid down to suggest a line of approach for the corner. just a guess tho.

[CrackNick]

@Sommasmokes420 if i'm not wrong with reference from other motorsports videos, it's cement dust to soak up oil on the track.

[guschamber]

fuckin rad,stupendously crazy tuning...brilliant

[yalexfumi46]

he went faster (1:47)than the duc 1098r(1-.48)

[purpleGoAhead]

@yalexfumi46 i think i see a lap-time of 1.45.09

[blazerblast]

scary monster

[mangablue]

aprende a pilotar primeiro.

[03021985100]

the adds at the end are too big

[Human2machineFun]

I have always liked the feel of the Kawasaki Ninja series, have owned 4 and raced Kawasaki 2 strokes in Motocross. They have great handeling, however, the sport bike feels mid range with more bottom end pull rather than top end. The 2 stroke had an awesome top end power band. Perhaps, a 2 stroke road bike flip side to the now 4 stroke motocross series. A 250cc two stroke sportbike class would be kewel beans. I miss 2 strokes, get Greg to work on that :)

[tchengsensei]

que le son de la kawa cool

[metalghostrider]

amazing ride! this guy knows how to ride a sportbike properly... RESPECT!!

[cheriva33]

Men with BALLS !!! Great video

[fabio67870]

non va un cazzo

[racefactory900]

awesome, G's for once! holy shit almost 1.2gs on the unbanked curves! that's better than most sports cars. this guy/bike can turn. strange though i would have expected it could pull more force in braking. great video!!

[fanaruvalentin]

cool game thats fucking awsome where can i download ???? :)

[rottepung666]

yes that it did as well. even the 1098r lapped a faster time then the des. it`s like they going backwards with there ultimate tool

[kCiReVaM86]

a bike capable of lapping Almeria 2 seconds faster than a £45,000 Ducati Desmocedici.

gente comprate ducati e spendete pure tanti soldi che ci sono i coglioni che spendono meno e vanno di + !!

[MrFl1p]

thx for not playing music in the background. nice video!

[rottepung666]

yes he is short shifting in the highest gear but not by much.. but tuned bikes have a much higher torque like my bike it dosent matter much if you short shift, ofcourse it`s not as efficient as rev it like god. but you get my point.. on the other hand it`s not that bad the straigt on this crrciut is 900meter remember he need to brake 200-300 meter before the next corner.. the 200hp desmosecidi rr just manage to hit 160mph on this same circiut so it`s not that bad!!! this isn`t a top tuned bike

[TurboNosHayabusa1]

Only a true 164mph on the very long straight...? I expected more!!! And it was a fast last corner too, exitted about 120mph...

[rottepung666]

yeea i taught it was around 170/180 at the wheel. you can see that it`s much faster then the desmosecidi RR and 1098R ducati at the same circiut and same gps speedo;=) even 1098R went faster then the desmosecidi RR what a hype that bike.

[th3matchless]

@rottepung666 Is it me or was he short shifting in higher gears? I mean only 164 on long straight is too slow for these bikes

[rottepung666]

how much hp in this zx10r? anyone???

[turboz1k]

High 150's-170's at the wheel.

[rsvrider]

damn i need to do a track day at this circuit......

[668725]

well it sounds nice but i thought it would go better than that.

has it got traction control, or is the handling that bad it was not carrying that much corner speed.

but like you said i don't no neeves that well he could be taking it easy????

[lezantas]

kawasaki rulezz..

[Jetkillr]

im sure it depends on who is riding the bike too...

[cante199]

crazy backfire ;)

[adamus995]

kawi fastest on the straight bits, even faster than desmosedici :)))

[BrandonPresents]

those are some nice graphics xD

[bluesheeft]

thanks :)

[protossenslaver]

I call bollocks on the claim that it's faster than a Ducati Desmosdici. Perhaps a non-tuned, factory Desmo, but not a version that anyone has put any effort into.

[Zlaja16]

how can you put any effort into it when its already a motoGP bike with lights ....

[protossenslaver]

By tuning it to your weight.... ?

When they say MotoGP tuned, it's tuned to the riders preferences. If you did the same thing to a Desmo, it would be untouchable with a decent rider, by anyone other than professional racers.

[Zlaja16]

it also means better motor with stronger components, reving to 16 or 17k and making 240 hp from 1000cc...light weight components, best suspension components...all that makes a bike MotoGP tuned....if i took a regular bike and tuned it to my preference it would not be a motogp bike

[protossenslaver]

You're forgetting that the Desmosedici already has all that out of the box WITH a lower overall weight because it's only an 800cc. An 800, btw which produces 230bhp.

You can only tune a production bike so far. This is a race bike with signals which is why it will always trump anything that isn't. I.E. the kawi.

[Zlaja16]

i did not forget that...i actually described the desmo....and it is about 1000 cc not 800

[JPThomp7]

This Desmosedici is a 1000cc, The last of the propper GP bikes

[a2birdcage]

You're a dumbass. The Desmo is a 990cc motor.

[a2birdcage]

Nobody said MotoGP tuned. The bike belongs to an ex-MotoGP mechanic. Read the fucking title again. This is the second time in this thread you've made yourself look like a complete douche. I'm sure there is a third if I was to keep reading the comments.

[protossenslaver]

Like I give a shit what a little cock holster like you has to say about it.

[a2birdcage]

The feeling is mutual. Besides it's not like you have a dog in the fight.  You don't ride track or race. I highly doubt you even own a motorcycle and if you do I guarantee you don't know two shits about actually riding it.

[protossenslaver]

Goddamn dude, cut a man's ball's off why don't you. I do ride track and I'm a halfway decent rider thanks very much.

[a2birdcage]

No you don't.

[protossenslaver]

If you say so.

[skater15153]

ya it is but it's still down tuned. It only makes 200HP (easily achievable with a super bike build of a ZX10). Hell I know guys with super sport GSXR1000s that make 190HP. MotoGP bikes are around 240 in full trim I believe.

[Nojness]

Fantastic! Kudos to Stewart Miller and his tuning skills!

[pseudogeek]

its just a shame that a kawasaki moto gp tuned moto gp bike is shit

[joaquinR1stargate]

really

[Phantomdarkness3000]

wtf ?! is this real ?!!!

[razer338]

holy crap that guy can ride!

[TheRealDanger]

Upload more videos like this!

[motorcyclenewsdotcom]

stay tuned - there's more coming!

[dufferzzzzz]

Haha, tuned... lol

[T3hGreek]

Is anyone's neck annoying them after that? Kickass!

[Jakeyboyshow]

..and that, my friends, shows the whole WORLD just HOW much better bikes are than cars!!!!!

Nice!

[PedtheFox]

You got it!

[arghPeteyPirate]

that bike sounds...so good.

[chrismaguire]

Top Speed 164!

[Bestever4everSince]

on the track...

[sysoff]

cool video.

[46DOCTOR46]

This is a really cool video. I always wanted to know what these mechanics ride in their spare time.

[strontiumdog262]

Sounds like my Jawa

[SirBootsalot]

Nice vid, nice tuned bike but i hate that track. I have driven on that track on Truist Trophy and its hard as shit, and i know it aint the same thing but close.

[Garrison64]

Very cool but I would have preferred the camera about 2 feet higher up to visualize the track better. Fantastic overlays though. I love to see info like that on a hot lap.

[svengalie]

How is this video produced?

Hardware? Software?

Sven want.

[jamiebridges123]

But your videos have a really nice "indie" feel to them! plus your quality is pretty neat anyway!

On topic for the video. damn seriously.. gunna buy this weeks issue to read about this!

shove that up your desmosedeci pipe and smoke it! pah

[jools360]

The video was taken using the Video VBOX by Racelogic. All graphics are produced in real time using hardware and a 10Hz GPS engine.

[StrongerThenYOU1923]

164 miles that is something :D

[slayer53744]

Sweeeet!

[robinphillips]

I thought the camera was going to hit the track! Great video, so nice to have all the screen info like the lap map.....GREAT ....

[brigittabrigi]

nice nice:)

[pulse0000]

Cool video
