This is the world's first review of the 2011 Kawasaki ZX10r. We are not professional reviewers, we are not video journalists, we can hardly operate a video camera but we managed to get our hands on a pre release 2011 ZX10r that we abused on the race track. Making the video was good fun so we hope you like it.

Finally a decent review!!! Thanks guys!! Get so tired of clicking on a vid and it's just 2 guys arguing over who gets to ride the damn thing first.

@89GTnotch 13 лет назад

I just took this beast out for a test ride last week. This bike was amazing, cant wait to get one. perfect liter bike for smaller riders.

@DIY3v 14 лет назад

Why does this video only have 10,000 views? This is the best review I could find for the bike pretty much anywhere. Thanks for making and uploading!

@Chris10rx 11 лет назад

Bike is very smooth. Even at high speeds. There was no shake in there at all. Love the new 10r. Its a monster for sure. Once you flash that ecu, hold on to dear life cause its hauling ass! Its a busa and gen 1 and gen 2 14 killer. This bike is the only bike that makes good power with just a slip on. Cause it comes with some great headers on it alright. Kawasaki recommends you dont change them out. Just get the slip that removes the cat and its game time. K&N filter, PCV with auto tune. Winning!

Chris Carter wow younsound knowledgeable tell mw more please

@IIGh3xGodII 11 лет назад

I'm 6'5 over 200 pounds. I ride a 2006 gsxr 750. And I have no problem at all riding it. Adjustable footpegs and a comfortable riding position. Honda superbikes are also very comfortable. Hope this helps. Safe riding!

@Godclash 12 лет назад

I only weight 135 and I'm 5"6' but when i sat on this bike I felt perfect. I'm used to the up-right riding position on my ex250 ninja so the aggressive position was kinda cool. I could literally lay my chest across the tank. The seat was low and narrow so that helped me reach the ground way better than the R6. I wanna skip the 600 class and go for this bike.

@richardpaterson3116 Год назад

That’s what I did mate. When I bought my first zx10 I’d actually booked to go test ride and buy the zx636 at the time but I saw the 10r outside the store and after riding the 636 I was like “meh, not my favourite but I’m going to buy it anyway” my mum said “have a go on that one you’re drooling over because you might never get the chance”. I brought that back after an hour and a half, I was only 20 mins on the smaller bike 😂😂 I just said “is there one of these ready to go today” cos that bike was made for me, it just felt right in every way shape and form. Sadly I had to wait 6 weeks but I had every extra going and de-restricted. I loved that bike. Really did. Traded it in for the 2011 version 2 years later and bought it without even a test ride, totally different bike 🤦‍♂️ Literally they squeezed the bigger motor into the 600 frame and put stuff on it that makes me more of a dick than I would be otherwise, abs and traction quickly become removal of all apprehensions. Love these machines. I really do

@thevariousartists 10 лет назад

guys this is a great, informative and entertaining review! keep on going!! cheers from austria!

@77rxpharmacy 14 лет назад

I've been hearing a lot about how the newer thousands feel like a 600... I wonder, do they REALLY feel that small? The last thousand I rode was an '03 R1 (I know, an '03 is a relic compared to the new) and it felt so much heavier and harder to steer than my 600RR. Since then I sort of stayed away from thousands. But I'm thinking about moving up, possibly an 1198SP, S1000RR, or this 2011 ZX10R. At the moment I'm leaning toward the Ninja.

@timeforachange12 11 лет назад

Good review guys. I had a zx-10r back in 2004 ans it was a total beast. I can't imagine how the 2011-12-13 feels, must be awesome.

@RedlineMS501 13 лет назад

@adc3n good point, however there is a point where the ABS engages, that's what Dave is talking about. Unfortunately when you do an unscripted, seat of the pants review, some things are said that are unclear. We also had a voice volume issue, but thanks for watching!

@HolyMoleyJoelyPoley 14 лет назад

Great review! Better than what MotoUSA and MCN does. Loved how objective you were! You weren't prejudiced by Kawasaki to say "Oh it was really lovely!" like Im sure they do with the magazines! Great job guys. Keep this template for any other vid reviews you do in the future, cos it works. Cheers from Australia.

@Prairiekidski 14 лет назад

awesome to have a sweet bike shop so close to home. (Canmore) hope to visit next season.

@MrPninja 9 лет назад

I'm loving my zx10r 2013

@rasamr7960 3 года назад

How many km's u got? Any issues? Have you fixed anything?

@kubakiller 14 лет назад

best bike review ive seen in ages, good show guys!

@junker845 13 лет назад

for guys that can barely operate a camera, you did one hell of a review!

@antimatterion 12 лет назад

The reason why the 10' model harder to move from side to side compared to the 11' model is because the 10' has a "monocoque" frame which rides up OVER the engine as opposed to around the sides of the engine. So with all that weight high up on the bike it makes it harder to shift from side to side. Also there is too much pitching action under hard acceleration and hard braking. This new model looks great!

@dnatrayon1 12 лет назад

Freakin awesome review man. Just what I was looking for. All of my questions have been answered about this bike. Thank you.

@RedlineMS501 14 лет назад

@77rxpharmacy it does feel smaller than the previous generation. I think it is mosly a weight position. The weight feels lower in the frame so the sensation is that the bike feels smaller.

@muaythai193 13 лет назад

You did a very good job on this review! I faved and subbed as a result! :) Gonna get mine in black on Monday! I think that the Low Power mode is what makes it great for city riding! Take care

@DavidMauas 13 лет назад

Nice video guys! I really enjoyed it. Keep up the good stuff.

@RedlineMS501 14 лет назад

@BenEoS89 you're right, the BT-016's will be great for street riding. The reason Brad whined about the tires a little is that we were testing at the track and the tires were slowing us down. We were comparing them to the Pireli Corsa street tires which were on the 2010. The Pireli's would be a better higher performance street tire as a stock tire option, that's all.

@KigenTheDegen 12 лет назад

M4 GP is actually louder, I have heard them both in person. and if you get MJS racing headers you basically have a custom race exhaust

@vstephan800 14 лет назад

@2:10 love how you can see the tall grass growing through the pavement.

@sheslop888 13 лет назад

You can tell you guys did a fantastic job by the relatively small number of morons commenting on it. Great Job! Look forward to seeing you out at Race City this summer.

@RedlineMS501 14 лет назад

@dracdrum we are in Calgary, Canada. The Z1000 in the background is the all new 2011 model.

@rtiger20 12 лет назад

I love the brakes on the new 10! Bike just all out bad ass! Only thing i hate since its new is the brake in deal lol. Gotta keep it at 4000 rpm which is like 57-60mph. I'll put up with that but soon as I'm at the point to where I can blast it, its on! Got the 2012 model

@RedlineMS501 14 лет назад

@maken3 the Euro model has flushmounts, the North American model has lights mounted on posts.

@kj7687 14 лет назад

@RedlineMS501 Why!? They sure as hell shouldn't be. You guys made one of the very best bike reviews I've ever seen. What I love about your review is that it's so down-to-earth and real world. It's no bull shit and you guys have your own agenda, not the agenda of some manufacturer/sponsor (or so it would seem, at least...). Anyway really great review guys. PLEASE make more, seriously!

@justcallmejoeable 12 лет назад

i wish they wouldve stayed closer to the look of the 2010 and before than the 2011. I like the older models looks better

@opmike343 13 лет назад

This was a really good video review. Watching some of the other bike reviews on RU-vid is an exercise in frustration. They are heavy on the rhetoric and try too hard to sound interesting...all the while, they don't really give any substance.

@RedlineMS501 11 лет назад

I still have a 2004 ZX10r and the new 2011 bike has more grunt and is way better behaved. The new bike feels heavier and way more solid. Fun factor, maybe the 2004 still puts a bigger grin on my face just because it's so crazy to ride.

@jtperrier4614 2 года назад

dudes getting swarmed by bees at 2:16 lmao

@chasezas 13 лет назад

that slip-on looks fantastic!

@ralphwarom2514 3 года назад

Holy cow this is a good review. I'm prolly going to pick up one of these.

@muhammadfahmi540 3 года назад

New zx10 is ugly

@BFDeihl 12 лет назад

Great job on the review- nice objective commentary-- Thanks!

@galaxything 10 лет назад

this is the best bike around at the moment, and not saying it cos i own one cos I dont. Just look at all the stock trim racing classes, they are full of these, cos its the best thing at the moment

@RedlineMS501 13 лет назад

@netefrog the FZ6 is a very good choice for a first bike.

@jjjp0619 14 лет назад

good review. can't wait to see them on the track

@RedlineScream 11 лет назад

Kawi engines are run in on a bench past redline for 30 second intervals to break them in, fluids drained, and then shipped. They tell you to do it easy so they don't get sued..

@RedlineMS501 13 лет назад

@Cbr1000solider yes that is a very good point, shows a good approach to riding.

@ChuckTaylor788 13 лет назад

BEAUTIFUL BIKE

@dracdrum 13 лет назад

@RedlineMS501 I saw a Ninja decal on the side, and it has full fairing. I think that is a Ninja 1000. The color through me off because its only gonna be Black or Black and Burgandy in the states, I guess Canada gets the Green one (looks like the Euro Z1000SX (same bike)) The Ninja 1000 is based off the Z1000 but has a larger fuel tank and fairings.

@thenam3less 14 лет назад

Nice video I cant wait for more. question for you. If the euro model is flush in the turn signals can the us version be mod to be flush or is it going to be a lot of work?

@RedlineMS501 14 лет назад

@W1LLPARKER that could be true, we can only say what we saw and that video will be up soon. 170 might be possible but it is a bit of a stretch by just changing the pipe. I think electronics need to be changed as well to release the beast.

@acetheking3136 7 лет назад

Dave is such a stickler!

@MrNePiS 13 лет назад

Do you have any info on the technical hold that Kawasaki has placed the new ZX-10R this month and whether it relates to bikes sold in Canada? A dealer I spoke to in Montreal this week said he'd never even heard of it.

@SteveO1988 13 лет назад

Hey really nice review I'd say you put a lot more detail in comparison with some professional journalist videos

@NemoTheBeastGamer 11 лет назад

Brilliant review guys!

@maken3 14 лет назад

I thought the 2011 zx10r has the flush mounted rear indicators...the one in this video doesn't for some reason?

@helmut48de 14 лет назад

@maken3 as Redline already answered, anyway there are more differences in US and EURO models (like front side reflectors), also on my 04 ZX10, there are much bigger rear indicators than on EURO model

@netefrog 13 лет назад

Same old question guys. I'm 6'2, about 220lbs, 26 years young. Is a Yamaha FZ6R a good choice for a first bike?

@RedlineMS501 13 лет назад

@opmike343 we just said what we thought, without any regard to Kawasaki. They were pissed at us but who cares, we still love the bike.

@industrialkhaos 13 лет назад

Now that is a cool review. Thanks guys.

@bloodpig101 13 лет назад

Nice bike and nice video! How tall are you? How would a 6.2, 220 lbs guy fit on this?

@ShankayLoveLadyL 13 лет назад

Oh my god, this is a very, very good Review.

@RedlineMS501 12 лет назад

@everythingfast661 the ZX10r is a really easy bike to ride and the power is managed but if your experience is mostly on a 92 zx6, you might want to go with a 600 class bike. Today's 600 class bikes are very fast and fun to ride and we find that riders tend to go a little slower on them because you have to wind them up more to make them go. With the liter bikes the power is so deceiving that a quick twist of the wrist and you are in the triple digits. Your size is irrelevant. Either class fits.

@MrMaster2u2 12 лет назад

Where is that accent from ? Are you Canadian? Great Review!

@johnnyViDeO 13 лет назад

That's why you should hire a professional videographer and your videos will look and sound outstanding, and give your presentation a professional edge. BTW, a lav is a lavalier mic that is placed closed to the source of sound to improve audio quality and eliminate background noise.

@Ace12550 13 лет назад

Have you driven the 2011 R1 as well? If so, which do you like better?

@gaivoron 13 лет назад

guys this review is amazing i am inspired to purchase a motorcycle. Your video just showed me that i really need a bike now. I am a new to this 6.3" 165lb what bike would you recommend for a started bike. I am very controlled i would be wrackless and still i don't want too much power that i would get my self into trouble. Someone said 250r are good starters but i got on it, rode it around the block and it feels dead i mean my car got more of a punch and it was crammed for my legs. sv650? 650r?

@dracdrum 14 лет назад

Is that an imported Z1000SX in the background of some of this video? Or are you guys in Europe?

@supersayin1 14 лет назад

Great review guys!

@RedlineMS501 13 лет назад

@Brunocmarino I wouldn't say any bike is really better. In the hands of a top rider, the BMW may be faster but for us average folks I think the difference will not be significant. The BMW makes more hp but the traction control on the Kawi is better so who knows which on is better. They are both awesome.

@2cool0 13 лет назад

damn a lap timer? this thing is built for the track

@Laonidas1 13 лет назад

hey im thinking of getting a street bike in the next few years would a 600cc street bike be good for a starter bike. I don't wanna get a 250 have mastered it and bored within 6 months.

@crayzeewhorse 12 лет назад

Thanks for this review it just made my mind up....

@jnnojpuy 12 лет назад

i am 6'7 do you think i could fit comfortably on this bike if not would you suggest one that i might try out

@RedlineMS501 13 лет назад

@hikoseijuro24 - The ZX10r wouldn't be my first choice for a new rider. You won't learn as fast, will probably develope bad habits and will get sick of running it in low power mode and will most likely crash it. 85 mph in first gear and more acceleration than a supercar might be too much, even with traction control. The bikes we recommend for a first bike are - Suzuki SV650 / Gladius / GS550, Kawasaki 650r / 400r / 250, Yamaha FZ6, Honda F4i / CBR250. Try a smaller bike for a year first.

@julingy 13 лет назад

race city!!! hey man. i have a group of 40 sportibke riders here in red deer. alot of us really want to get to a track and away from these horrible straight roads :(. - I heard calgary was a horrible track with potholes everywhere. is this true? what are the track days like? can i show up with full leathers a helmet and go have some fun or do i have to go through some orientation stuff? thank you

@skylarrayyoung 13 лет назад

@ediego86 You havent ridden a street bike or anything like a dirt bike? If you're looking into getting a bike and you haven't ridden before you should take a rider safety course or go out with a friend that has a dirt bike and learn to ride (Dirt Bikes are WAY lighter though so it wont be the same). I am in the process of getting my M1 in cali. I have been a Dirt Biker since i was 4 years old and am 18 now. I'm a good rider but i'm taking a rider safety course anyway.

@2cool0 12 лет назад

do you know if the cbr 1000 is around the same weight as the zx10r.....im talking about 2012 models for both of them

@MrNalgahead123 12 лет назад

@808crazyshit when buying a new bike you should redline the gears for about 30kms and they usually perform better then the way the dealer tells you to break it in.

@RedlineMS501 14 лет назад

@willidx42 yes the rags have to be a little irritated with us, but Kawasaki is probably the most upset with us.

@adunski 14 лет назад

good stuff, thanks guys

@Adeysworld 13 лет назад

For a second there, I thought I was watching FARGO.lol

@TroutButter 13 лет назад

@erniethefart If that dyno measured the HP at the rear wheel, then that sounds about right when you take drive-train loss into consideration. Vehicle manufacturers, cars and motorcycles, advertise the power of the engine on its own since it's a bigger number than at the wheels. Bigger numbers sound better for marketing. :)

@powersliding 14 лет назад

pretty good review

@utberoxsobad 13 лет назад

Yay Calgary, Alberta

@sammy6blades 11 лет назад

Who's the bigger guy in the blue and white leathers? He looks like a larger rider. I ask because I am a larger guy looking to switch from cruisers to sport bikes and I'd like a little feedback from another bigger guy. Don't know if anyone is keeping up with these posts but I'd love some feedback.

@2cool0 13 лет назад

@bandguy360 nah man i would have to say that this is the best looking zx in a while the 2010 was alright i like the green and black paint job this year

@RedlineMS501 14 лет назад

@lmind2 don't know, it stands to reason that it would.

@RedlineMS501 13 лет назад

@motomallen lol, me too! That was fun but the opportunity doesn't come around too often.

@helmut48de 14 лет назад

@RedlineMS501 thanx for reply, it is really good :-) anyway how about that dyno video? :-)

@Marksman2oo7 13 лет назад

sory but did they do any work on the zx6r this year?

@chrisreese2965 10 лет назад

How much HP and torque did the high power mode make?

@gastongato 14 лет назад

Where is the dyno results??? ZX10R 2011 vs S1000RR ????

@lilonespaz 13 лет назад

@skylarrayyoung Your right i started out also on dirt bikes and i took the Rider safety course ass well. If anything it gets me discounts on insurance, and helped boost some confidence in the transition from dirt to asphalt

@RedlineMS501 14 лет назад

@Jerbartolo that helmet us the HJC FS-15 Carbon. Check out the new HJC RPS-10 carbon, it's a much better helmet.

@Gearup808 12 лет назад

@RedlineMS501 My buddy just got a 2011 ZX10 and i was told that he had to keep it under 4,000 rpms under 500 miles and under 6,000 before 1,000 miles to break it in. So my question if its a brand new bike and your shifting at 13,000 rpms is that bad fro the engine? Thanks

@brillowpad1 12 лет назад

@RedlineMS501 All you need to do is replace the exhaust and boom u are good to go

@willidx42 14 лет назад

Thanks ,nice job you guys beat everyone to a review. I'm sure the rags really hate you for it.

@Firebirdcg73 13 лет назад

so it didn't break 200hp? what did it make?

@cardboardreindeer 14 лет назад

really good vid

@RedlineMS501 14 лет назад

@lars06r6 - I did ride it but not in the video because I was operating the camera. Maybe next time.

@RedlineMS501 14 лет назад

@helmut48de the song is just a "canned" song that is included with the Sony video editing software I use. I do like it though.

@Xman44x 13 лет назад

@Laonidas1 Just get what you want, i was told to get a 250, but i got an 09 zx6r instead. Had bazzaz zfi-tc on it with a full M4 ss exhaust, one tooth down on the front sprocket for better acceleration. Rode it for 4 months then sold it for zx10r.
