That sweet sound of a V4 engine is unbeatable.

a major problem in this is that it is ZX10R American version is limited, the European version is much stronger, good analysis, good video

lol Hey I see you took my advice and now announce the results at the end of the video instead of making us go to your website for the winner. Nice!

i just bought my 2016 aprilia today :)

I have a 2006 1000cc racing bike with no ABS, no IMU, no launch control, no traction control, no engine modes and no engine braking adjustment and it is great knowing they are not there to stop me from flying off the track at any time. I really like that and it makes it so much fun to ride. Each to their own I guess. Enjoy riding!

I'd go with the aprilia. Because it's a bit more exotic here in NC and sounds amazing.

id go with the aprillia, same price, sounds better, and ill never be a good enough rider to squick out the advantage.

Great video...I gotta get back out there with the fast track family. Miss y'all. 😆👍❤

I love finding titles like this when I'm browsing youtube.

I take the Aprilia all day long that V4 sound can't be compared to any bike out there

For me this is a great video for personal reasons as ive just sold a 2016 ZX10R Winter ❄️ Edition for a 2019 Aprilia RSV4 RR two absolute fantastic bikes 💯

Guy great review. More reviews like this... Take your time talking about this machines

V4 is the best engine design for race motorcycle and especially for race bikes.

I own the same gen5 zx10r here in the Philippines and believe me without restrictions it can kick ass

V4 midrange kings.

loving the backing music

Wow was waiting for ur honest review.....

Yeah Fontucky! (Fontana). Do more reviews/testing at that speedway. I like that track

please make a comparison for mv agusta turismo veloce 800 and yamaha tracer 09

The F4 will be interesting with the way mv is following, this is a great time to be a biker

Inline 4 is more reliable, more refined and easy to maintain than v4 but v4 sound like a beast.

which is more lightweight in track.?

I would go with the ZX10R for one reason! as far as aftermarket parts goes the ZX10R part's have more available worldwide and cheaper, that's my thoughts.

Does the 2016 ZX10 have a ride by wire throttle ?

i own a gen4 zx10r and tested a gen5 last week. the gen5 feels gutless compared the gen4. on the road the gen4 feels faster but when your flat out the gen5 is very fast. one thing to mention about the gen5 is its engine is super smooth and its decieving how fast your actually going because of this. gen4 for road gen5 for track

Ninja all day everyday!

I would like to see you guys have these bikes unrestricted to see the outcome ! The Kawa is euro 4 spec .

So what effect is changing the sprocket having, Gearing down or up? Front or back sprocket?

Am I seeing it right, Aprilia doesn't have rear seat /pegs? I love it for the way tank and seat make it really comfortable to lean, but I like to have the utility of throwing someone on the back if needed (crashed biker /girlfriend needs a quick lift...)

when will motorcycle.com review EBR with the rest of the superbikes?

omg THEY GAVE US A WINNER!!!! congrats

From California where lane splitting is legal, own the Kawi. From the stop light, this one is slower off the line than my 2006 GSX-R1000. I like to get in front of the cages, big green is making it difficult for me.

For me id go the zx10r both amazing bikes but for me I just think the Kawasaki has the edge on the all round package

So where is the race??

Kawi all the way! The restrictions on this bike are insane. Not only is it US restricted, it has 3 catalytic converters! With a de restriction it makes 15 more horses. With de restriction, slip on and tune, it makes 25 more hp peak and at least 10 more hp through out the rev range.

They can say that now about the Ninja, but that Ninja is very restricted. Damn US regulations.

still goes for the ninja specially for my body features..both rockssssssssss

Would -1f and +2 rear be an overkill on this one or is fine?? As u said its to high geared... Plz do reply...

They should've brought to the mix the R1, same price, performance is pretty close too

Both are mine!

Zx for life

At 5:40min. You can see the zx10r hit a higher top speed down the back straight compare to the rsv4

I have to admit that I thought the ZX10R would bring more game. But I also know just how good the RSV4 is. Three things that I kind of wonder about: one the RSV4 does have some engine braking control - the Race throttle map and Track throttle map differ only in the amount of engine braking they do. Secondly, the RSV4 has Brembo M432 calipers which are actually a small evolution on the M50 calipers that are on the ZX10R. Interestingly, I have read another test that slaked the ZX10R's brakes and I think the difference between the bikes on test here could be somewhat down to pad wear or the like, though with the RSV4's engine in the lowest (stock) position, braking is slightly different. Third, the "5-axis IMU" is not really an advancement of what the Aprilia has, as we live in a 3D world, not a 5D world, and I wonder about whether is really an advantage in it or the Yamaha system, which uses the newer IMU as well... from what I have heard to date, the ZX10R system still needs some love to work the way you'd expect. The 5-axis system may be a way to work around the advanced TC patents that Aprilia has. All that said, cheers to Kawasaki, as they have brought a bike which is competitive with the european models. They're very close. And yes the Kawasaki can be de-restricted for considerably more power but honestly this is the base-level V4 here, too.

He says the 2016 ZX10R is "Worlds better than the 2015 model" I think that must be an overstatement. Some reviewers are saying the 2016 mid range power slightly better but brakes not quite that same good feel as 2015. I would test ride both and make my mind up. I like the review just because I get to see the bike out on the track in stock form.

Isn't the zx10r built to new emission standards while the older aprilia isn't

The Brembo brakes are always a very good choice.

hi guys im currently deciding between s1000rr 2016, zx10r 2016, and ducati 899, im super short 5f1, which one would suite me, ty :)

aprilia is dream bike 😍

hi troy ,are you indonesian ?

I want these bikes in my garage but insurance would cost more than the bikes lol I wish 600cc bikes had the charisma and electronics the liter class did. I would sell both of my current bikes to buy a 600cc version of the rsv4

this guy troy siahaan is indonesian?

These guys always lean towards the European brands no matter how good the non European product is.

What's wrong with the Aprilia's seat? You didn't mention anything about it in the whole video until the end where you said that the only thing you need to change on the Aprilia is the seat, but you never mentioned any reason for it.

is the aprilla a good starter bike and is it forgiving.

Aprilia if bought new with a great warranty and Ninja if bought used. (Also probably Ninja anyway cuz my first entry in the big bikes was the Zx6r and it never gave me a single problem.)

Which is faster and more brutal??

Kawasaki ftw

Awesome review guys!!! Absolutely loved it. Aprillia RSV-4 is definitely my cup of tea. Maybe even in my future! I agree.. At that price, the Aprillia provides a better package. Just replace the ass-numbing seat and you're good to go!

great. 2 best bikes 2016

Fastest ?

do a street comparison

Nice

U can change the transmission on the zx10r from the side.

Ninja always

Is he indonesian?

Ah good old US restrictions

Inline 4 is smooth but V4 irritates

Kawasaki is the legend

Aprilia RSV4 RR Martin

The Kawasaki is way cheaper in reality. They are advertised for as low as $12,000 brand new.

Aprilia....FTW!

all these reviews dropping on the new kawasaki zx10r, 1st and 2nd race the kawasaki zx10r dominates the wsbk atm.

Both bike look similar

Unfortunately even the gel seat for Aprilia is only marginally better. :( It upsets me as I can only ride for a little over an hour before needing a serious break.

Last week end AFM race at buttonwillow... Joey Pascarella and Wiatt Farris destroy everybody on their stock zx10r!!! Where are the aprillias??? Lol!

You forgot to put link to for a full review on your website. Sloppy copy/paste :)))))

zx10 with a pipe makes 186

Can't wait til new Gixxer 1000 kicks some butt.

*_TOP_*

Why do the bikes in america have less horsepower compared to the rest of the world on the same fucking bike?

Kawasaki god

So any muppet - like the wannabes here show casing these beautiful machines, would be happy with any of them? They are all way too fast and have performance beyond anyone, except a professional rider, can ever use.

When it comes down to the bottom of this you're not really committed and it's a shame. Editing errors? Really? I'm getting nitpicky but what the hell is that sound at 8:59? There must be a stray frame in there as well... Put some effort into it, people are laughing with your asses. You could have had a million subscribers by now

And Tom lol

GO GREEN. The emperor of all bikes EVER. . . . .neither I remind anyone of , , , , aaaahh forget it. the list is tooooo long.

Why the crappy music again? Take a lesson from Motortrend already! Sure, they're car guys, but the work they do puts everyone to shame

take the 3 cats out the zx10r exhaust and watch it fly stupid euro laws 😡😡

Odd. I know the subject of discussion here is the 2016 ZX10, and the last one I rode was a 2012 version, but their comments would apply perfectly to that... I am an old litre bike rider, I got my first 4 valve GSX11 in 1980, and the big midrange is one of the things I love about large bikes. The XZ10R is a lot like riding a 600... It does go, but you need to be at about 10 for it to happen.

aprilia

US spec ZX10R is restricted, first remove all the restrictions and then compare it to any bike you like it will blow them all away with 220HP!

GREENGANG

Ugh. By the time I upgrade from the ninja 300 all the liter bikes will be idiot proof. infact now that these bikes are becoming more easy to ride the ninja 300, r3 and the cbr300r (yes the 26hp "dirt bike") will be the bike more easy to crash on! Heck the Yamaha r1m has live suspension adjustment now if you go into a corner to fast not only will the braking combined abs save your butt but the suspension stops diving that most people get from braking to hard! And you can't turn it off!!!

ninja ❤

Low energy

We get it, the rsv4 for those who don't know how to ride. :D

Kawasaki tutta la vita eppure sono italiano o panigale o ninja finito
