  • R1;)

  • R1 2007-2008 got only 162 rear wheel hp ?

    My 2008 R1 got 170 whp and 100% stock !

    Its all about how you brake in your new bike ! If you do it right you gain more HP !

  • Question, why do you do the response to the bikes right along side the track where the bikes are flying by and we cant hear you?

  • @BWALKERR1 Answer: idiots.

  • does 08 r1 has slipper clutch

  • YO VOY CON KAWASAKI!!!! ESTA MEJOR

  • whats with the whole Zedex thang I though it was Z

  • @Ridaz4LifeR6 thats how british people say z

  • Laa SiZiN SüRDüGüNüZ MoToRMu :D :D BeN ORDaOLSaM TeK TeKer Le

  • I got a ninja and R1. All I ride is the Yamaha!! Nuff said.

  • these new styles of bikes are mad ugly. they all look like ants . but r1 still looks alot better

  • Honestly, the "track" test isn't all that good. Why? Two bikes of the same (or very similar) specification are likely to have very similar top speed. Furthermore, a total noob riding an R1 will only have a slight chance of winning against a professional rider using a 250R.

  • which would win in a 0 to 60 race? The 2011 ZX10R or the 2011 YZF-R6?

  • @Ace12550 2011 ZX10R 

  • @Ace12550 what's faster? a fighter jet or a commercial airliner? obviously the zx10r would win.

  • @Ace12550

    depends on the rider!!

  • R1 (L)!

  • i want kawasaki, but i must agree that R1 look better

  • @catalinux007leiro the 2011 zx 10r looks better than the r1 in my opinion

  • both of u suck

  • nice track....!

  • fuck kawasaki

  • @acaltairezio1121 fuck you pussi

  • i love all kinds of superbikes but i hate google ads....its in every video on youtube...pffftt

  • 8 r1_great bike but how many people have had probs with worn intake valves got mine done under warranty after a lot of denial from yam uk any body else i herd its not as rare as they like to make out!

  • oh my bad

  • dude its not fucking Zed X 10-r its Z X 10-r

  • @Charlie10904 zed is how the redcoats say z

  • @wolfy7865 It's also how the rest of the english speaking world say it. It's only the US that say Zee.

  • @wolfy7865 and Australians

  • @Charlie10904 definitely pronounced zed. u must be a yank if u say zee!!

  • lol its not about which more better..its about how u like it..

  • @mehdiintheuk

    that failed dickhead

  • the new 2011 ZX10r kills ALL 1 Litre bikes !!! There is absolutely no competition !!! KAWASAKI RULZ !!!

  • Comment removed

  • @MultiMartialArtist you'll never get insured for a litre bike lol

  • Comment removed

  • @MultiMartialArtist I'd suggest neither. a 250 is the safest way to start but you'll get bored quickly and have a hard time keeping up with friends on 600's. To start I'd get a used Ninja 500 or 650 (don't let the moniker fool you, the 650 is less powerful that the 600). The reason liter bikes go down so often isn't top speed; it's the difficulty of managing that much power through corners and as you shift. DON'T LEARN ON A LITER BIKE IF YOU PLAN ON STAYING UPRIGHT.

  • @rmcclane01 Wow, dude, that really helps, I think I will go with a 250, you sound smart, blah, your right, one time i was a driving, a car, and i Missed the brake and hit the gas because i was distracted, no accident..close, but now that i think, i can't imagine what would happen on a bike with power, thanks,

  • @rmcclane01 Hey Man just coming back to say thanks for the advice!! Gotta 2011 Ninja 250r!! Hmm, soo, it was 6k for the 250, when there was a 07-Zx10 for 6.9k, same price, butttt, i decided to listen to like the 100 people who warned me, so i got the 250, thanx for the tip, will be getitng a 600 or 1000 in a year though :D

  • @MultiMartialArtist congrats on joining the club, both as a rider and a Kawi owner! Going brand new definitely hits the wallet; I think 2008 250s cost about $3500. Don't be shocked when you outgrow it, just be happy you lived to get there. And please, please don't step from a 250 to a liter bike. Get a 600 and mature with your bike. Any decent 600 will do 0-60 in 3.5 seconds, top out over 150mph and out-carve a literbike in the canyons. What's not to love?

  • Fucknuts having a discussion with major racing racket in the background. Thanks for annoying me pricks!

  • yamaha r1 best ever

  • if u wanna make versus video of bikes test the fucking bikes on street not track dickhead....

  • Comment removed

  • Give me a kawasaki any day. I don't own a zx10r, but once i'm done with my 636 i'll be moving up. Sex on 2 wheels!

  • @surfinbird84 Sex on two wheels...maybe...but if I had to give up one or the other, I think sex might have to be worried...

  • in my country,we can ride any cc bike at the age of 16..=)

  • @MrKawa24 Your country must have a very big senior community as well as a pretty large but youthful cemitary

  • @MrKawa24 where do you live? 

  • @blindingsun Malaysia

  • mcn is a load of crap, unless your a moto gp rider it makes no diffrence its down to wat you persanly like and feal confident on.

  • Dude you need to lose weight.. than you will be fast enough with any kind of bike..

  • Man I love both of those bikes... but i'm only 16 so it's a long wait lol i'll stick with my rs50 for this year :)

  • @SidewayzRB26 Lol I'm in the exact same situation , I can't wait to get 18 and buy an R6

  • @sharky1993x lol same mate but then u look at the price of insurance lol it puts me off after seeing that. are u on the road now ?

  • @SidewayzRB26 Of course I'm on the road, the insurance didn't cost too much, about 20 euros , for a 6 month period

  • @sharky1993x Flipping heck its cost me 180 pounds just for third party insurance

  • @sharky1993x how long do you think it takes to save up enough money for one? im at around 2,000 right now, im 16 and school just started. so if i get a job for all of school how long you think?(i make most of my money over summer working with dad). so wouldn't have the job probly when summer comes.

  • @SidewayzRB26 hey man i thought the same as you, you can only be 250cc and down when 18 or younger but its wrong. i went to a bike dealer the other week and asked the guy that question and he said you can be 16 and still drive whatever cc you want. but i mean i guess the law where u live makes the restriction to being 250c or down when under age of 18. idk. but im 16 saving up for zx6 atm. gonna take forever :( plus gear....

  • @bloodsniper10 Yeah mate it's ridiculous over here in the UK. At the age of 16 you can only have a 50cc .. then 17 you can have a 125... Once you have a full licence you can have any sized bike as long as it's restricted for two years. Me personally I'd love to slap the bitch that made up these rules lol. Soon I'll be heading over to the states, where i'm going to rent out a Kawasaki Ninja and just ride the beautiful roads :D Ahh That wait will be worth it though man ! :D

  • @SidewayzRB26 well good luck man. when you get a chance to see how they feel let me know. i want one dearly lol.

  • i really like both the kawa and the R1 , incredible machines when it comes to maniablilty ... Used to go roadtrips with a 2007 model of the R1 and race with my mates ninja..

    but unfortunately the BMW s1000rr won my heart and i sold the R1 and currently lookin for a new home for the golf4 :$

  • @D4nTDI I have to agree with ya. Both bikes are incredible and i definitely love the R1 (i have an 04 myself) but the new killer is the BMW S1000rr!!! gotta get one!!!

  • @1badass2004r1

    BMW S1000RR oh yeah. +1

  • Kawasaki is leading on the new motoryckle market in power and such face the reaility lol...

  • well i dont even care which bike pwns the other one´s.

    I only know that i love my r6

  • at the moment im doing my driving license for motocycles and my first bike is going to be an xj6s which is a good beginners bike but in germany there is no difference between 600 er bikes because you need a thing to slow the power to 34 hp down (dont now the word )

    but im allready saving my money for an r6 i think thats going to be enough power till im 22 :D

  • @carreragamer

    du meinst gedrosselt ?

  • im all about the looks and the ZX-10 has it all.......not to mentioned its fast 1000cc definately a plus...awesome machine highly recomended!!!!

  • They are sports tourers not track bikes just enjoy them

  • It's all rider and preference. These bikes are all so close. The difference is where the torque curve peaks or relaxes. Honda is usually underrated because of how smooth the torque is throughout the range. It seems as if the engine lacks personality, but it's all rider and preference.

  • why do they have to get the bikes on a truck? cant they ride them? lol

  • It's amazing how many people can't spell. Everyone from eree84 down has the spelling of a 3rd grader.

  • my first bike was a 2000 kawasaki zr7, it never let me down, so i desided im gonna stick with kawasaki forever and plus they have a strong racing history. the zx-12 will be my next bike

  • i owned until last year the first fuel injected R1 it was a great bike(150+bhp). i thought that was fast so these must be mental.

  • Kawasaki bikes suck at racing, and that's why they never do well in Moto GP or AMA Superbike. Yamaha, Ducati, and Honda smash faces.

  • @puddlejumper7777 funny last i checked it was the other way around

  • @darknessahead520 The last time a Kawasaki won AMA Superbike was 1997. Kawasaki hasn't won a Motogp ever. Kawasaki did win the 350cc class in motoGP back in 1982 but i'm pretty sure no one here cares about pocket bikes. Sure the new kawasaki bikes look cool, but are they the best on the track? Of course not.

  • @puddlejumper7777 and how many poeple buy them to race in profetional competitions

  • close the garage door!

  • kawasaki is lituarlly not comparable to other bikes it simply has way 2 much power

  • le parte el culo la yamaha a las dos kawa juntas !!

  • @facuucaf1 A GUEVO COMPA !!!!!! DIGO LO MISMO !!!! Y SIEMPRE LO SERA

  • R1 Sucks !!!

  • @D61664 what did you said??? R1 RULEZZ BABY!!!

  • Yamaha's are crap if there not motoGP

  • @eatmesomeday YAMAHA ALWAYS WONS WITH WAYNE RAINEY AND ROSSI THIS IS YOUR BEST ANSWER IDIOT

  • I had a chance to ride them all and the CBR was hands down the best all around and now I know why it was Litre of the year 08 and 09!! It might not have the thrust but the cornering blows them all away

  • say wat ever u want but kawasaki is BEAST!!!!!!

  • YZF R1 NINJA,,,,,both R GR8 SUPER BIKES,,,,,but R1 have a eyecatching,,look especially 2008 r1,,,,GOD PROMISE,,,,,,,,,yamaha bikes are not babies,,,,JUST  ride an old RD 500 V4 machine or ride a V MAX ,,,,,,,,,(nothing know about YAMAHA,,,poor GUYS),,,,, why ROSSIE,,,,,loves his YZF M1,,,,

  • @rocker5199 are you even trying to type coherently?

  • @rocker5199 AGREED MAN

  • @rocker5199 it's Rossi... and he doesn't love it anymore... not for the bike but for the team of yamaha... yamaha's are a great bike to ride i wish to buy one in the future

  • I know this is an old video, 2008, but holy crap that is one ugly mother f*cker exhaust on the ZX 10. Just lets such an awesome bike down in looks..

  • que?@michaelball123

  • R1 babby

  • R1 baby

  • 不錯 我很喜歡

  • hey everyone!

    i loved this video but the sounds are poor..

    probably the only main difference would be rider skills...

    I believe sport bike preference is all rooted from the rider & his/her intended usage. Track rats may find favor aboard the Suzuki GSXR1000, Honda CBR 600, or even Ducatis. Street riders can go along well with Honda's CBR1000RR & Yamaha's R1. What gives you the perfect mix of safety, pleasure & feedback is the best ride for you!

    Peace out, & ride safe!

  • bla bla bla kawasaki wins ;p

  • @skullsaint Obviously :))

  • hayabusa wud just rape

  • @sasuke1019945, u obviously dont have a clue what u r talking about

  • I believe I saw the r1 pass the zx10r twice on the track.

  • r1 is the most refined bike ever and the most good looking bike!!!!

  • R-1 IS BETTER LOOKING! BUT I LOVE ZX10R the 2005-2007 STYLE!

  • @ solidr1

    did you hear what he sais? he s talking about the wheel power....thats not the power of the engine^^ its about 8% lower at the rear wheel. and the speed he s talking about is the speed they tested....not every bike r1 or/and zx-10r has the same topspeed, it is influenced by the wheater, the temperatur, the rider,......

    if you have ever engeneered a bike you have to know about this facts^^

    and i do know what a im talking about...

  • this guy does not know what he was talking about. correction on what he said on the r1. the 2008 r1 has an 180 hp and top speed of 188 mph. who hired this guy? do your researched more.don't get me wrong i love all motorcycle and cars. but i hated it when one party or one individual was making their point that utterly inaccurate. did you hear some of the words he used. one of the words was "i think". never having designed, engineered nor built the bike. that does not you an expert.

  • @solidr1 He's clearly not quoting the power at the crank as it proves nothing, he's saying the power they've recorded at the rear wheel. Also, they're quoting the speed they've tested the bikes at, the speed manufacturers say the bikes will go is neither here nor there, it is the speed that can actually be achieved that counts.

  • Kawasaki,Yamaha,Suzuki,Honda..­.

    like...

    -4 aces

    -4 diamonds

    -4 beatifull girls

    no need to argue who is the best best...

    everyone has its own taste... :-)

  • Totally agree ;)

  • it all comes down to da rider dudes..enuff said..

  • Do not compare any kawasaki to an R1.

  • why? they're essentially neck and neck..it all comes down to what your flavour is..kawis hav e always had notoriously broad powerbands too..that's a fact

  • the zx has to be the most ugly bike i have ever seen!

  • love that look the r1 every year looks good

  • So what he's saying is if you want a sports bike to use only in perfect conditions on a track get the ZX10! But if you want a bike for all roads/tracks/conditions get the R1. To many riders stick to the brochure,they read up on BHP & top speed,buy the fastest to pose to their mates but in truth don't enjoy the ride as much as their mates R1/Blade. Don't get me wrong Ninjas are great but for Real World bikes there are better ones around!

  • ZX10 is pain in the arse if your in the city.

    It has a very wide turning circle compared to R1, you also hit the fuel tank with your hands and run out of steering angle.. The bes...no, R1.

    Well, the zx is awesome at 120-> km/h but its over the limits, the r1 is a joy even at 40km/h...

    Its so annoying when you think "now im gonna fall if I dont turn more, OH SHIT I CANT TURN MORE, MY HANDS ARE TOUCHING THE TANK" thats ZX for you :)

  • zx 10 r is the bsest <3<3<3

  • fuck, i'm wondering why the r1 wins everytime, remember....hmmmm? ;-)

    Yamaha Rules!

  • @cytechx thats because SBK bikes are 50x more expensive and totally different from stock :-)

  • if i was to buy a 1000cc bike in 07, it would br an r1, if i was to buy a bike in 08, cbr fireblade, but for 09... has to be the new zx10r. just looks so nice with the white chequered flag at the bottom of the body work. i do think that the r1 is a very nice bike but you cant beat the green of a ninja :)

  • ha kawasaki wins? id still have an r1

  • can't hear shit with all the bikes flying by ! what a shitty video !

  • I have a black 09 zx10r and love it. I love all litre bikes though. Something tells me that the guys on here who say their litre bikes are SOOOOO much better than anyone elses,probably don;t even own one. You guys saying that a 1000cc gixxer kills a zx10 ..or a cbr1000 destroys an r1 are all full of crap. All sport bikes are wicked cool-just enjoy them!!!!

  • @lukelukewayne

    in the end its the rider who counts! isnt it?

    i have a 2002 ninja 636A(throttled down to 98PS) and i once beat a guy on his 4 years younger Honda cbr R6(120+ PS?) while doing green traffic lights drag races

    of course all 1L bikes are awesome and one has to find the one that suits him the best!

    cheers

  • I just gotta say, Hallelujah brother. I love my '05 R1, but if you're on a liter, you're kickin' ass, period. 600's are a little bit more decisive, depending on the year (I used to have an '08 R6), but still, if you're riding a sportbike, and you are riding what you want, you won't be happier!

  • well said man, had a 636 and loved the powerband..but it's hard to find a sport bike that won't put a grin on your face..riding anything that screams is fun..no matter who makes it

  • @lukelukewayne agreed theres so little between the sports 1000cc it just comes down to personal taste

  • @lukelukewayne fully agree with u lad...

  • @lukelukewayne i agree ;) all the litre sportsbikes are good in their own ways, and its just about personal preference :P

  • @lukelukewayne i agree with what your sayin there and your bike sounds very nice indeed.

    Lovin Kawa

    let the good times role...

  • @lukelukewayne im thinking of upgradeing from my 250r should i get a zx6r or 10r?

  • @wowcrazy70 6r

  • @wowcrazy70 zx6r....

  • @wowcrazy70 6 youll die on a 10 the zx6s are more then fast enough

  • @lukelukewayne couldn't agree more with you mate..I have the same bike tho in green :)

  • @lukelukewayne it's the rider not the bike, any ssp or sbk these days are equipped with the best it all comes down to the rider, not the bike.

  • @lukelukewayne hey , can you tell me where can i find the speed limitator for a yamaha tzr 50 ?:D and how can i get it off? please

  • use motogp to compare bikes = dumbass. ninja all the way! The new r1 sounds like SHIT they fucked the new 4 in line! i dont know in the US but here in brazil FOR SURE u get more pussy with a ninja ;p

  • superbike and MOTO gp aren't the same thing..superbike is based on the stock bikes..moto GPs are 800cc and have nothing in common with street bikes and SB bikes..i rode a kawi and I can say..kawi has nothing in motoGP..R1 isn't a moto GP bike and neither is the ZX10..before you call someone a dumbass make sure you know what you're talking about

  • at the end of the day... the R1 will get you a lot more pussy than that booger colored kawi.

  • Ha, probably not...more times than not people who don't ride (Chicks) are drawn more to looks, and we all know which is the better looking out of the two.

    Disclaimer: Not saying women don't ride ;)

  • @tiffanysbitch

    if that was true we would all have R1.

  • 05-Zx-10 Rape fest.

  • dont see kawasaki winning to many moto gps

  • Kawasaki has no money invested in moto gp idiot. Are you racing GP? Hardly. You will the fastest, in your case, fag on the street, riding the Kawasaki.

  • they don't have a motoGP entry.they do win superbike races though..not the same thing at all.

  • get a honda hahaha 2009 GSX R-1000 ALL I GOTTA SAY...SEEE YAAAAA

  • just get a honda

  • ......

    (what he said)

  • If you know how to ride........Kawasaki, hands down.

  • kawasaki's are def. the fastest & they feel crazy when you ride them. Huge adrenaline rush. But i hate their transmissions. That's why I had to go gsxr.

    & most Kawasaki's have catalytic converters... take that off and you got at least 6 more hp.

  • too much talking...just show us some vroum vroum for fucks sake

  • that guy said kawa ZAKI lol

  • kawis is about power! Just reel the cable and let you friends behind i ridden a 07 zx10r and a r1 (i dont have them) and i can say if u wanna a monster go with kawis, the r1 is more friendly, more easy. and NEVER compare a GP full modded r1 with a normal r1 they r TOTALLY different.

  • Kawi 4 life

  • Aguante la Yamaha R1.

  • KAWASAKI RULESS

    SEE mine

  • Kawasakis are Bad Boys bikes..I know cause i ridden both..Yamaha is more layed back in terms of riding position and riding style..Kawas just kick ass no matter what they do, you sit with your legs further up and back like a jockey , always have more power..besides, Yamaha makes pianos, Kawasaki makes engines.Bash all you want but im talking out of experience, and i dont ride pussy and squid.

  • just ride an yamaha RD 500---yamaha"s quality,,,or RX 135,,,awesome bikes for ever

  • TEAM 46,,MOTO GP YES YAMAHA

  • YAMAHA IS THE BEST,,,,,

  • zx 10 has stock ohlin dampers??? WTF

  • i dont think Kawasaki Heavy Industries can be called mediocre from any stretch of the imagination.Bikes is a side business for them.They are into earth moving equipment and the like.Plus they have produced some of the more famous bikes...

    Yamaha as a company small compared to Kawasaki basically a musical instruments co.!!!!Anyways Father of R-1 the GIXXERRR!!
