Looks so much nicer than the newer versions, no nasty black plastic bits everywhere and that massive frame is awesome !

Best zx10 r ever made , very very fast bike

The "widowmaker"... one of the best and craziest liter bikes ever made. Hey... I love the stock wheels on my 2005. The first generation R1 was never referred to as a widowmaker in any official motorcycle publication. The first generation ZX-10R is still the lightest liter sport bike ever manufactured to this day. The horsepower difference is around twenty or so between the new and first generations.

No license plate, no gear, certified squid haha, respect!

Mine has 55k. Still lives strong and scares me after all that time it's seen out in the wild. These bikes are an absolute piece of work. Plan to keep mine forever

Definitely gotta be careful with coming down on wheelies or just don't, these frames were prone to cracking right along the welds on the bottom side of the frame. I've owned 2 and still have one and absolutely love it. You got a seriously nice clean example there. awesome video!

A Steering damper is a MUST on these 04/05. Super Fun Bikes !!

back when Kawasaki still made good looking motorcycles

I had this exact bike same year color everything and I was 21 in the army and it was my first bike. And I realized what I bit off very soon after buying it. I kept it and ride it back and forth to work and never had an issue but I did know I could die quickly. It was comfy looked cool. I ended up buying a 636 a month after and rode it around for a while and parked the 10 until I was more experienced and then I enjoyed the liter bike a lot more. Still own both 13 years later

Loved mine, kind of wished I still had it. Unfortunately, some one liked it more than I did. It was stolen...... definitely loved it....

Awesome video! I thought I was the only one doing stunts on a 2005 zx10r

I absolutely luv my 05 zx10r

It was this or the k5 gixer for me

Your bike is awesome. Its probably tough to avoid legal trouble on a ZX10.

Nice bike, a wheelie through an intersection is generally not a great idea though.

Have 04 ZX10R yep it is a beast 🎉🎉🎉

I had one beautiful bike a weapon raced multiple bikes off the mark through corners a few 2021 R1z Honda cbr 1000rr panigales an I left them behind. And yes they chopped down an took off 1st I chased caught them bye bye... Sadly my brother borrowed it one day without my knowledge crashed an writ it off broke my heart I loved that bike widow maker is exactly what she was...

This is a perfectly done ZX10r and my favourite generation. Light and small ftw

Have an 05. Funnest scooter i ever rode. Clutchless wheelies in 1st gear. Damn thing loves the rear wheel and so does my 70 yr old arse!

Jesus christ. That bike has ALL the right upgrades, wow. I have a 2005 zx10r which has been buildt as a streetfighter. So now I sit nice and comfortable. Would like your suspension, wheels and full exhaust :-)

when time was simple.. early 2000 litre bike always look fresh.. no shitty electronic thingy, commanly come with long straight muffler, it has own identity.. wish i had one.. ridesafe saferide bro

I wadded up an 05 ZX6R, God let me walk away... been 3 weeks. I miss it. Yoshi, Q3+'s... I've lusted for a Zx10r..05-06 model. Great video, hella rider, super info. Thanks Bud!

👍🏾😎 couldn't afford it in 05 but got the 06 unfortunately it broke a valve retainer last season but will be back this year.🏁🏁🏁

04 was a such a great year for litrebikes. I was torn between the the 10 and R1 in 04. Both amazing, but eventually went with the R1 for ergos and the 10s were having random issues of the steering stem breaking off the spars. Mid range beasts. I still remember top gear roll ons with my buddy on his 10, that thing would straight walk away from my R1.

Yeah, know all about them I've got one myself 2009, the Best.

The shift light is progammable. Its just like the 636 of that year.

Amazing review my guy

this bike would be like Ferrari F40 of it's era

I love the stock rims. Smh.

I have a low mileage 2005 kawasaki 636 zx mint condition I only paid £2500 English pounds very happy with it

1st gen the best of them all😎.. Try a quick action throttle & quickshifter also. Makes her very thirsty though😉 Have nearly every modification possible on my 05 ch2.

Nice Bike, i have an 2006 ZX10R ... but honestly... at least some Gloves at 149 mph would be nice :)

A few things I've noticed. Your fI light is on and the nut for the back wheel is kn the wrong side.

No argument.. early 2000 liter bike fit in with long muffler exhaust just making it looks more great imo, such a beautiful widowmaker. In fact long muffler will rise up a bit of horsepower in hi-rpm , then a short muffler that have been use by many on this day

They are sweet bikes with a cool reputation.

Bought one just like that in 05. Still have it. Am still kicking and only lost a few innards from dancing with it! Had a new 1975 Z1B back in the day. When I get off of this scooter I always wonder how in the hell it could be legal to buy! Mine loves the rear wheel ! Always run a detector with heads up or you'll be dealing with the law. Just sayin

Dude wear gloves an some type of jacket! Your in one of the Facebook groups that I'm in, take it to the track

Beautiful bike bro

My dream bike and next bike 🏍️

nice zx10r!! i was about to get the 05 zx10r in gray but it didnt workout and i got the 05 r1. im happy with the r1 but i still look at the 05 zx10r and i do like them as well

Very cool bike , I also own a 05 Zx10 , can you tell me what the engine mods are on this one

I'm about to buy one. Need to learn to wheelie like that!

" The reason im stopping you is because of no licence plate"? No,the real reason your stopping him, is because he let you. never forget that people

Have a ´04, purchased new, 156.950Km, never valve clearance adjustment made.

I paid 800 for mine and it needed a new fuel pump. I'm almost done with it.

最近zx10r c型を買って乗ってるけど最高のバイク古いバイクだけど古さを感じさせないパフォーマンスを持ってる 33GTRも同じ！

hi mate just stumbled across your video excellent video I tried Kawasaki 1000 ax And I currently ride Kawasaki thousand versus Clearly from a man of experience, have you been on the 2008 model? Would love to hear your experience and feedback

The upgrades are worth more then what the cost of the bike new.

Up for sale?

Was told they can't be doing wheelies been know for there welds breaking on the frame for those models but yea got one and love the thing would suggest a servo buddy to take that red light off the dash

I got the same bike built that makes power in the right places like I make dubble the torque at 8 k than a 21 zx10r that ran Daytona im right around 200 hp right now with it but it makes power down low as well and I've never ran into a street bike that was faster it's the best zx10 made in my opinion

What’s the cartridge size on the stock forks or the onlins forks?

Can you get a quick shifter for the 04 ?

Just a curious question. Is the wheel nut supposed to be on the right side or the left?

Love my 16 but if I had to go old Kawi it would be this

Have one also. What model windshield is that?

After market cams fr

How in gods name do you wheelie like that?

Buaafff que miedo levantarla asi!

Good work man

Nice video and information! How do these bikes match up against the 2008 zx10 model w a full m4 exhaust, bmc race filter, ecu flash ? Thinking about buying one w these mods.

What’s your gearing on this bike. Did you drop to a 16t or keep the stock

Impossible to still find these bikes

Great bike, can you give us engine specs?

Let me know when you're ready to sell it.

Forget Sato Get a Racefit Growler and you'll never look at other exhaust brand.

To try and Cure my Acute case of BANDITAHOLICISM,, reckon ZX10, R1, might do the trick ?, Bandit engines are so so Special.

Яуспел,уйти живым,самые приятные воспоминанияепрст

Not individual bikes are widow makers. All bikes could be considered

Fast as fucccc

Is it okay if they smoke a bit from exhaust?

I'm about to buy this monster soon, have anyone suggest about it?

damn, nice mods dude.

Love mine

Do you have any links or leads on to where to get the suspension for the 05? Their website sucks.

I'm confused I was young when they came out but im sure the tests said standard they was close to 170bhp from factory maby 160 165 ish

The zx10r were the quickest bikes until the s1krr came out

Have you ever come across a rattling noise on your motorcycle apparently this kind of motorcycle has a common rattle noise just wondering if you did if you knew what it was

96000 km 😳

Nice bike and video!! How does it match up against the 2008zx10 w the mods etc

Pretty decent mods on this one, take a look at my channel, think you'll appreciate the bikes

Did you buy this in a auction?

😮I was 21 yrs old when that bike first hit the street. I had an 02 gsxr1000 that I later traded for CBR600RR because I knew I was gonna die on it. I was smoking cop cars for fun and all kinds of stupid shit. I havnt ridden any modern liter bikes but Jesus I just can't imagine any more power?? That's why they have Trac control and all the electronic goodies because it's just not usable on the road. Maybe a drag strip I can't even imagine it on the track. Very tasteful mods to this zx10r here. I've ridden busas that don't even put out the HP of these modern 1000's . And I've been riding for 30yrs now if u count the dirt.

Abbiamo la moto uguale 😍💯 Come hai imparato ad impennare così?

This rims is from The ducati 999 ?

Only one question... Why is the red FI LED every time on mode? Is it normal?

Gonzalez Betty Garcia Lisa Williams Mark

Bet i could beat youu but not what i care about juss wanna ride wit peeps bro… you got me lets rode

It's gonna be a widowmaker if you ride without gear

That bike looks like a 600 from the side

Beautiful bike. Aka widow maker. Stop calling it a crotch rocket.

No gloves and bro your gripping the bars way to tight,

Был такой,веселый мот,только не удобный

The piece of shit stock wheels? They look the same. I don't get it, what makes the stock wheels pieces of shit?

dude, do yourself a favour and wear some gear

Such a cool dude ends the video by saying "ride safe" after showing us how to ride through intersections on one wheel, no gloves, T shirt, WTF he won't make 30.

My step dad has a dark blue one And he is hit 220 mph So I guess his bike is not stock

Giving good bikers a bad name. Ride with some respect to others.

It'll keep up with new gens trust me I know

You can’t control that bike you’re on now boy
