One of the best summary reviews I've seen, straight to the point and no waffling shite..nice one mate ;) Where did you buy that black textured tape from covering the swing arm?

Hi Tom 16t front 41t rear works well, I'd also recommend a Woolich racing ECU flash to disable pair valve and fuel shut ABS and other annoying electronics. Block off plates and Dynojet auto tune works well to dial in final tuning

Hi Tommy, I have the 2018 model, great bike! When I turn the key on, I can hear continuous beeping noise, sound like a fuel pump noise. Do you hear that sound on your bike?

Would you mind sharing your spring and shock set up. Thanks

love the bike , just recently purchased one myself, carbon gray , they said that when I wasn't riding it that I needed to keep a battery tinder on it ,I can understand if I'm not riding for a few days or so, but if I ride it everyday ? They said it shut off while riding if I didnt. Do you know anything about this.

dude, are the stomp grips good where you have them? i notice that you dont have the other pieces on .

hey im planning on getting this, any idea how manys KMS would u get from a full tank? like quarter urban riding then rest HWY riding? im looking for a 1000cc bike that can offer me 150-175km per tank because i live in British columbia i do a lot of Highway riding and doesnt have many fuel pumps on the specific roads i use.

Hi mate, i've always thought my zx6r needs its suspension setting up for my weight. Where can i take it and how much will it cost?

Top notch review!

how's the seat on a long ride? I have the 2011 zx10r abs and it's good for a couple hours.

i totally agree mate the other thing with mine is the knee position the paint work is scufffing ive had to fit monster gell stickers there

I had a 2014 (gen 4) ZX10R and loved it. I'm considering a 2016 (gen 5) model, but heard the throttle is very snatchy/abrupt. My gen 4 throttle was fine. Is there an easy remedy to the gen 5 snatchy throttle? Is it really that annoying as I've read from some online mag reviews? Thanks!

What do you think about zx10R 2009 year inclusive 2010 I'm about to get a hands on the green beast

that bike is so clean

As the helmet is k3 do u feel buffeting over 170 mph or 280 kph cause its an entry level agv

Love the bike mate I'm a huge Kawasaki fan and love the ZX10R. I've had two Zx6r's a 2010 and 2011 loved every minute of owning both. I currently ride a 2013 Triumph Daytona 675R but seriously considering a litre bike next and this is definitely one of them I'll be checking out. Do you still own your bike?

Beautiful video,thnx Tommy, Ride safe, Best wishes

Great short review. You mentioned it's comfortable... how tall are you and how many miles are you able to put down before you need to jump off and stretch? When you get uncomfortable is it your ass wrist or knees that go first?? Thanks

Fantastic review. Bro I'm due to buy a new bike, how do you rate this bike on a scale of 1-10? How do you rate this new ZX10R vs the 2014 version?

what about the diff power modes tommy?

what other bike you would buy beside Kawasaki?

Im considering to swap my gsxr k8 1000 to this zx10r or 2012 bmw s1000rr. Is here someone who been riding on those bikes??? which one got quicker responding for throttle?

Bike looks great. So many bikes just don't look cool. Nice style on this one.

Do you ever go drag racing with your turbo bike ?

Hi Tommy, me and 2 friends just picked up 3 of these bikes.....definitely loving it and agree with your comments. Had a question about setting up... You were saying it's worth setting up the suspension etc. Any tips on this- how do we set it it / can you suggest some settings. Thanks

My next bike

Absolute kawa fan, currently residing in africa with my 2008 zx6r, same thing, no low end but past 8500 you need to hold on. Absolutely love that about it. Could you perhaps tell me if the Uk has restrictions on taking the cat box out and such and if they actually test for it, aswell as what the sound laws are there? Planning on moving to bournemouth next year january.

They really make space, those sidemirrors.

How does it compare to the gsxr ?

Have the same bike. It is the Cat at Euro 4 Reg that restricts the power. Fit a DeCat and Power Commander 5 and your looking at 204 Bhp at the rear wheel, amazing. Agree with your suspension comments. As for the marking on the swing arm, does your Carbon Heel Guards give as much protection as the OEM ones from Kawasaki, as my swing arm is unmarked.

I have a couple bikes, nothing crazy like a ZX10 but I have a 93 ninja EX500 and an 09 Suzuki Gladius. My question is what makes brakes so much different? I mean if you have a set of Brembo brakes, aren't they for performance? Like I would think that if you have a set of brakes that are capable of locking up your tires, that should be fine. I just never understood the review about brakes with any bike really.

I really like that windscreen...is that a Kawasaki factory option?

Nice straight to the point no bullshit

well, does it have good gas mileage ?

Nice review man...

what is the mileage on long tour??????

What gloves are those?

Tommy why is the arrow exhaust better?

Those tank side grips are good from where you bought it

Giz a go hunny bunch!!!

Sharp!

Thanks for the review Tom Hardy

Can you make a flybye-Video?

mate your spot on in my opinion. i tested this bike the other day and the midrange is pants. my 2015 zx10r has more midrange. i found that like you say under 50 to 60 mph its just poo on the roads. it needs permenant thrashing for its best performance which isnt possible on the road. i found the brakes the same. unless your doing 100mph they are not as good as the 2015 which on the road means the arent really as good. my swing arm paint is rubbing too.

Euro 4 killing mid range?

which is better the kawasaki zx10r or honda cbr ?? please I need your help

Nice bike m8

Is this euro spec? or Is it as restricted as the us models?

lol who wrote the subtitles ? it's a joke. And I agree that the finish are not good on the kawasaki, I've owned several kawa and each time I noticed this. Otherwise, good review, your bike looks great, the only 1000 ninja wich looks good with the gen1 IMO

How are those tires working out for you?

which Metzler's are those?

Cheers geez. top banana lad. cushty bike lemon squeezer. Banging bike geezer. wouldn't mine owning one.

Hi got the same bike. Apparently you get loads of mid range with a decat. Also have you looked into getting the bike flashed? Woolich racing flash will sort out all the fuelling and it activates the blipper. Im about to order a short throttle insert from America which makes the throttle 1/5th turn if your interested i could order you one as well? They're about £20-25 quid!

I think the paint coming off may be from your boots rubbing while you ride

Good straightforward and honest review and in my view pretty damn accurate too. I've completed just under 3K UK miles on mine. Thought I'd respond to the comfort Q'n below (Brandin McClune): I'm 183cm tall, 14 stone, suffer from a temperamental back and I ride for up to 6 hours including fuel stops and a longer break for a brew without too many complaints. Kawasaki has got the riding position and layout spot on as far as I can tell. Oh and I'm in my 50's, loving this bike and intend to keep it for some time to come. I'm no slouch on this baby but no expert either. I get a Cheshire cat grin just thinking about riding her!

weird paint is coming off, other wise nice bike. i got a 14 636

jon snow is that you?

And now on to the positive fins ................... U wot m8

You think a new rider could get this after a 300cc beginner bike?

these things are super restricted u wont get shit out of it till u toss the cat and get her on a dyno i have just bought the same bike and i am getting a brocks alien head 2 with a dna air filter then going straight to my tuner getting flash and dyno tune they are getting up in the 190s to the wheel

Green with envy.. Say.. wanna trade with wifey´s 1.4 diesel? Its got 4 wheels and 64hp (or it had when it was new anyway) ;)

Let's the engine breath ??

After hearing enough people say the same thing about how this bikecdoesn't have enough torque below 8000rpm and street riders chiming in ... About the steering dampener, apparently rebuilds are possible: zx-10r.net/forum/f28/ohlins-steering-damper-fix-how-we-do-70186.html

Have the same carbon heel guards my boots scratch the fuck out them does my brain in

so what's the accent called where you sound like this guy and your th's are f's? thing becomes fing.

nice bike. I'm not going to chat shit on here because I'm 28 years old and I ride a 125cc. so you are lucky guy

俺もこれ買うんじゃあぁあああああああああ待っとけよぉぉおおおおお

Get the cat out and Ecu flash you’ll be close 200hp

never knew they made a Ninjah :)

Already crashed mine lost traction on the front wheel on a turn. fucking sucks.

Nice video. That accent is great. Jersey? Its not GB for sure. Too fake.

get the mid pipe

What the fuck is zedex can you British people not pronounce ....z.....x. And then say it together.
