MCN Roadtest: Kawasaki ZX-10R: Race v road

[clabucet]

can you get uglyer than you already are??

[JayzBeerz]

mcn your audio sounds like shit

[Vilas30]

I like kawasaki but it sucks the results in wsbk.. and this results tell us that a tuning kawasaki zx10r its a truly dangerous bie to go fast.. we nevor know if the back end off the bike its gona spin, the bike have really problems whith traction

[a1leathershop]

Here is a nice collection of motorbike leather jackets including Kawasaki leather jackets and suits at A1 Leather Shop .com

Why do MCN's videos always have such poor sound quality? Come on dude, do you really need to be talking while a bike passes by and we can't hear anything?! I am also tired of how these videos don't really say anything... is it all a hook so we buy your damn magazine?

[Kneedragon1962]

@ramsesrccl Well of course it is - what else do you think they do it for?

You're right about the sound. It sucks, and I don't just mean in this vid - pretty much all mcnews vids have terrible sound.

I still like them though.

[olifooks]

it would appear he is slow as fuck lolz

[iSkateFast]

name of song?

[CallMeRom]

I don't want to be mean but is he GAY?

[lgarvey]

@CallMeRom He's not gay, he's from Yorkshire.

[supersayin1]

Here in the United States we get the 180hp version, but in other countries, they get the 200hp version! This bike has the true look of a super bike! My dream bike!

[riderzx10r05]

Ugly front end. Why can't Kawasaki stick to a good thing. Look at Yamaha. They dont change thier looks too greatly and sell like hotcakes! I still love the Quakkers though.

[mx5speedracer]

Awful sound quality.

[popejohnpaul3rd]

i think there ugly tho makes you want to hit the front end with a fly swatter

[dsknutson85]

I h8 undertail exhaust!! They are pointless and takes away from trunk space. I have a 06 ZX-636 and I put on a Hot Bodies undertail kit, but I regret putting it on due to there's only pipes now under my tail section under the passenger seat. But even the stock under tail exhaust trunk has NO SPACE.

I'm glad they did away with it.

[TheGamesProdigy]

thats the worst stock exhaust ever created!!!

[DistemperpK]

standard nowadays coz of EU-3 etc

..made to be removed

[eamh2002]

The 09's only bad things are hard takeoffs at first for a beginner, i've stalled the bike few times, and the other minus side is, I lost my driving license for 6-> months with it :D

Oh and it always feels like you need to have loads of speed, or you will fall due to low maximum steering angle :s Like when riding slow and turning around in a parking lot..

I'd prefer the -08 yzf r1 though it has a pretty good ass warmer(stock pipes) under the seat :p

[Foxxtrott1100]

That time diff has allot to do with the Tires. Seemed to me the Stock bike had stock rubber as well. Shoot that aint gonna cut. They put hard tires on on purpose so you crash and so they last longer for the street squids

[pdelaressure]

yeah, i'm a bit sceptical about this 'mass centralisation' thing they talk about. ducati's do all right without it...

i heard somewhere that aftermarket exhaust makers were sick of making underseat sytems as they affected their manufacturing costs/profits...

[Blueray41]

1:41-1:48,, yeah i could so understand what you were telling me =D

[licmy3balls]

great. i could hardly understand a fucking word he said.

[x1tekja]

yeah

[CHOPERUS23]

My god that exhaust on the stock bike is horrible, under-seat styling wins every time.

[BLKHAWK91483]

not everytime. GP looks better at times..

[CHOPERUS23]

like?

[BLKHAWK91483]

check out M4's gp style exhaust for select bikes.... also from what ive seen.. side mount exhaust usually make more power than undertail exhaust since undertails are at times restricting..

[gregger454]

Under-tail exhaust for sure looks way sleeker, but you use like 2 feet less pipe with a side pipe which yes loses weight and increases hp. The side pipe made it's come back on the new cbr1000rr for the search of power to weight ratio. Every once counts! But I don't like the '08+ plus so I'll keep my '07 CBR100RR because it's way more bike than I can handle. I don't race motoGP and I don't need more performance. Period!

[reyzuna]

why people like me like bikes but  dont have one.. cheezz...

[audiavantveesix]

fucking bullshit tests

[RTiger18]

Damn I need a job like this..Just ride and race bikes..He's got the best job in the world...Better yet,let me fly a damn jet..lol

[calisaetia]

@RTiger18 and wear spiffy hats.

[Suzukimad07]

i have clips of kawasakis raceing check it out

[scareface325]

are you a girl ok if you are a girl

[zice39]

great video, bad sound. wireless mics are great for this kind of stuff.

[caveman357]

the 06 is waaaaay better

[kakkola2]

Hey mattfra!

No i have a duc 848 and is not faster but im more for twisty roads! I have a yamaha 03 r6 wich i love too!!

I like older kawa

See ya Matt

[benjyboba]

I hate it when anyone says it's quicker. Yes a bike might be slower in top speed but then there is acceleration and lap times. I have an old 900ss and for the road in the twisties, I have as much fun as anyone out there. Lots of faster bikes become slow or is that the riders. I personally ride my bike for fun and not racing. I should imagine the 848 without long straights will keep with anything out there with it's nice power delivery and handling (rider permiting-lol).

[danr239]

There goes my new kidney.

[mattfra1]

maybe ugly to you! do you have something faster?

[tattootiadog]

great review chaps  wots with the hat !

look like an old fart.lol

[kwaky2005]

I just like watching people go ballz out on a 10r..it's just fun..I would like to see head to head drags something more....definitive less opinionitive. (although the track times said alot about a honda)

[kwakkid]

UTTER SHITE.

[daddywags17]

what a useless vid

[Razgrizkiller]

Sooo errrr, Ive learned nothin new. Get a steerin damper he says, and the bars wont shake "Really Mr MCN?". Utter waste of server space

[bigfatspider]

Chad, you suck...

[WinterDriftTeam]

search fallout off-road for a sweet movie comin out

[CadeMcNown1]

they need a spokesperson who can speak CLEARLY

[basilthrush]

What a waste of time that was you can clearly see what the differances are in the first ten seconds. Muppets

[jaymacc7707]

yea you can see the difference just by looking at it

[aggerz80]

complete waste of time..

[angelmanuelvilar]

Doesnt tell much bout the bikes and the sound is awful.BAD Shit!!

[AKAYAMAHARAPTOR]

nice

[oceanoasis]

Useless. Told me nothing about either bike. You rode both bikes all day and this is what you came up with? Seriously man, more commentary about both bike and tell your cameraman that his cam won't explode when he pushes the record button.

[deanvtec]

What the F^&* is that hat he's wearing? Proper pikey. I thought his leathers were bad enough!

[bozebumi]

What is the name of the song?

[fahim113]

Great stuff...although there really is no excuse for those ridiculous looking leathers!!

[nativebrother]

rather see him where nothing!?
