The Kawasaki ZX-10R is a bike I have not ridden since 2016 and probably a little bit overlooked these days. So I took the latest version to Snetterton to put it through its paces to see how it stacks up!

Sorry to see you go down on someone else's bike brother. You're such a gentleman about it though. Happens to the best of us. Your track riding is getting good too. This is just more experience to improve your skill. Valuable lesson unlocked: Know the limits of the bike/ physics on and off track before you actually surpass the limit. And that comes with getting more intimate with the machine. You're alright...✊🏽👍🏽👌🏽

@driveandsurvive 11 месяцев назад

Yep, sorry to see you go down and glad your fine LC. It's certainly an awesome bike - the pull it had (with you onboard) was impressive. I think with all the views your video's get, Kawa will still come out ahead after repairs - Bang for your buck the ZX10 is right up there and you certainly showed what it's capable of. When you talked of the why behind your drop, I think you also picked another part of it earlier in the vid, when you spoke about getting tired - riding at that level/pace on a high performance sports bike dosn't leave room for fatique. Thanks for a great look at the ZX10 and keep up the great work.

@CrouchyOnBikes 11 месяцев назад

Main thing is that you’re ok buddy! Shame about the bike, but as someone else said, Kawasaki knew that was a risk when they lent it to you. Doesn’t sound too bad as Kawasaki can likely source those parts on internal cost. From their perspective, it was a great test and showed how good the bike actually is! I’d be interested to see your road test on it, and how it compares on the road to other litre sports bikes (like the S1RR). Great video as ever Chopsy!

@LambChopRides 11 месяцев назад

Well done for sharing Mr Chops, love your honesty. It’s going to happen at some point and usually in one of those last sessions when you are going for it, but just a bit tired which can lead to an error. But the main thing is you are OK and Kawasaki will fully understand the risk here.

Any crash you walk away from is good, it happens to the best in the world Chops. I guarantee a top class rider has crashed on that very corner sometime or other. I'm loving the looks of that ZX10 and it'll be interesting to see how it's road manners are. Great video again Chops. Glad that you are okay mate. 👌😊

@jamiecoburn1231 11 месяцев назад

So happy you are OK Chops! The ZX-10 is just so good now...A real stunner too! Heat, heat exhaustion, hot bike, hot tires, and then hot damn! Going for a ride! It happens.....All the time.

At least you weren't tickling it. In some respects that's sort of what its about. I try to explain to my car friends the difficulty of feeding the power in when coming out of a corner and how it can catch you out in a split second. Do you know, I was just thinking about your biking exploits the other day and how safe you ride, typical !! Glad you're ok.

@VState60 10 месяцев назад

Hate to see the crash, but glad you’re okay and that Kawi was cool about it! I’m not super fast, but I would stand to bet that your lowside was due to being too stiff/too much weight on the bars. From the rearward facing cam you’re nearly straight-armed…with the speed you were going on that corner, you shouldn’t have lost the rear…get more comfortable & find a way to be barely touching the bars (no matter how tired you are) and you’ll run less lean angle and easily recover from moments like this IMHO!

@headrace4863 11 месяцев назад

@@LambChopRides makes you feel like you’d beg for the ground to open up so you can dive in doesn’t it. When Simon Hargreaves was on the phone to Jim Moore updating him what happened I felt soooo bad. Jim and Simon were equally great only being concerned for me (I was fine…) and luckily we got all the beauty shots (of the bike not me… that’s for sure lol) before I went highside. Combination of cold tyre and overtight Headrace bearings, but the positive at least is it gave my RU-vid ‘handle’. Bike is in my profile pic.

@LambChopRides 11 месяцев назад

It really does, worst part was it happened on a Saturday, so Monday morning before I could get hold of them 😫

@bsmukler 11 месяцев назад

We’ve all been there, for sure. I don’t believe you were on the throttle. Rather, and as you noted, you were getting faster throughout the long, hot day, and were leaning the bike further and further, occasionally touching the peg. I think you simply leaned too far and the bike got tripped up when the peg caught. Again, I put it down to the long day and being overheated. The fix is to try to use body position a bit more to reduce the bike lean. (I don’t mean to be a wise guy. I’ve been counseled by school coaches for doing the same thing: going too fast in corners and leaning too close to hard parts, as well as becoming less consistent late in extremely hot days.) It would be well worth a few days of instruction re: body position and bike lean as well as standing the bike up on exit. So glad you are okay and that Kawasaki UK are being gems about it.

@orlandoberry4031 11 месяцев назад

The best mod I ever did, was Vortex 2.0 Rearsets and Helibar Trackstar Clipons. Makes the bike super comfy, GP shift, and it actually handles better than stock. 3/4 system, filter and a flash, mine put down 202rwhp, absolute cruise missile.

And I said How's my bike? And he said oh man that's just material stuff they've got I-75 shut down for you. LOL. It happens

@Don8789 11 месяцев назад

Me and my friend actually crashed both our ZX-10R's 7 days ago on Spa. He has a 2019 SE and went in the rain in the fast left after Blanchimont. Yes very big bill😮. And I went with my 2008 in the La Source hairpin over a wet patch list the front. Drove 3 hours home with a painfull wrist, which is now in a cast because of a small fracture. It sucks but it just happens with track riding, especially when you get faster and faster. Overall I have done atleast 35 trackdays. Crashed on my very first trackday and now in my last. Had way more close calls then I can count, but you can't always dodge that bullit.

That ride was fantastic and Kawasaki make very nice bikes the ninja is one of the most badass SS out there , for the crash i think is due to the stiffness of your handling, when going sporty or on the track you must have your arms relaxed and not grab the steering in corner because this leads to crash and this happened also to me , you make very nice vidoes 👍

@siraff4461 11 месяцев назад

You're ok and the bike can be repaired. I'd call that a good result for a drop on track. Infact there are a few good things about this. Firstly you know how far you can push it now - though I think the heat may have played a part in this because it looked like you were taking that corner in a similar way most of the later sessions so an overly hot tyre won't have helped. Secondly if you can buy that bike and split the difference on parts or something with Kawasaki I bet it would make an awesome track bike. Shorter gearing and a map to soften the throttle could make that a gem to throw about on track. Lastly I doubt Kawasaki are going to lose out even after the bike was crashed. They know its likely some will go down on track tests and allow for it but on top of that this is some great onboard footage which is really hard to get from a UK track and having seen it I'm kind of wanting a zx10 now. I'm sure I'm not the only one.

@verdeboyo 11 месяцев назад

Hey Sir, you're quite a big name among 'testers' on RU-vid and Kawasaki surely have all this covered cos its on a track and you're giving it the beans as they say. Main thing is you're good to go for the next fight. Was the bike suspension set up for your weight on track? Bike does look a bit of a large lump but looks lovely. If the Cal SS folk use them on track then they must be pretty good once set up right for the job. See you in inters at Brands Hatch some time soon👍🏻

@LambChopRides 11 месяцев назад

No it's was bone stock and even on OEM rubber. All I did was adjust tyre pressures. I think that was part of the problem, pushing too hard without suspension adjusted or perhaps none OEM rubber. Ultimately my mistake I'm not making excuses. I was actually at CSS two days later on another new ZX10R! Suffice to say a little bruised and determined not to crash it! 😅

@@LambChopRides hey Sir I guessed that when you mentioned grounding pegs. I'd say 30% you and 70% bike set up. Again, glad you're good for more lovely bike stuff👍🏻
