Bike World Drag Race | Hyper Naked Shoot Out! (Part 1) 

I am seriously impressed how you managed to compose yourself and get that stopped! Fair play Chris!! 👏🏻👏🏻 scary AF! 😅

I'm picking up a Zh2 in 2 weeks. I think mod number one is going to be a steering damper after watching that tank slapper! Amazing save Chris!

As a rider of a tuned MT10, i'm a fan to see the stock one do so well! But God damn, that tank slapper and emergency braking was naughty as it gets!

😮 5:14 - 5:25 was a great save 👀. That fence was coming up quick!

Christ that wobble almost had me needing to change my undercrackers! That’s a beast.

Wow, wow,wow ! Bet the end of that runway felt like it was coming up way too fast landing that slapper with no brakes !

the way you controled the bike in 5:14 was really impressive

Chad on the MT-10: "I've ridden it before in the past". Probably as opposed to the Kawi, which is so fast you could ride it before in the future. 🤣

Kawasaki tries to kill Chris….Chris says his pick of the three is the Kawasaki……All hail Chris!

Ducati, MV, BMW, and Aprilia needed to be here as well!

This was the first time I've seen Chris intimidated by a bike. It takes a beast like the ZH2 to do that!

the m1000r would have been awesome in that line up.

These are the 3 bikes I debated which one to get 2 years ago. Went with the ZH2 (standard suspension though). At over 19K miles now, it's still incomparable to anything else I've ever ridden. Perfect street bike for the insane. Owned a ZX14R, ZX10R, and an FZ09 before it.

Not even surprised on the results... My lovely ZH2 makes my BusaGen3 look like a tamed kitty.

5:20 Jesus that fence was coming in hot

Wow, for most people that tank slapper would have ended in the fence. Especially when going for the brake and it goes straight back to the bar. Hats off to you sir. If you can get the air strip again, maybe put a sports bike in the mix. Superbike vs supernaked. The brand doesn't matter, as it would make it easier to source them for the day. Thanks for making this, great job.

I have a Z H2 SE. I've owned ZX14Rs, ZX10Rs and numerous fast big bikes. There is no comparison, with the way it delivers the power. Thank you Kawasaki.

It shows what a true professional you are and so composed after that mother of all slappers. It also shows we can all get it wrong at some time. Jeez that fence came up quickly too

I'm convinced that slapper would have resulted in a pretty catastrophic off for most of us mere mortals Chris, due to the fence if not the fearsome shaking 😳 pretty legendary save! That bike really should come out of the crate with a damper, given how prone it is to a wiggle plus how well it holds a fast wheelie. It's borderline negligent on safety. Devil's advocate though: it's relatively cheap in the sector and an awful lot of performance and tech for the money. The other two are among it's closest true competitiors, not track focused Ducatis and BMW M bikes at much higher price points. That's why it's 100% a muscle bike - Cheap and potent, but also comfortable, usable. Almost practical!

Love these comparisons! Huge respect to Chris managing to pull that thing up 😮 glad he's alright!

A lesser rider would have been off there, Chris - well done on saving that and stopping it! Enjoyed this as per usual, love this channel!

Wow, I thought for sure you were going to wipe out on the Kawai. Nice save. I'm sure Kawasaki appreciates it too. Peace.

Chris is right. “EVERYONE KNOWS CHAD” 😁 he’s awesome

Wow that was a seriously good save there Chris. You guys are hilarious together btw, maybe do a road trip?

I would take mt10 all day long. Shame us never had m1000r wit us. As always great video, thanks guys for keeping us entertain

Wow great recovery man. That was close! God was watching over you.

My mans calls a ZH2 "little kawasaki" hahaha, great rider!

I actually sold my 2020 SDR for a cheaper MT-10, and unless you've ridden the 1290r, you have no idea how hard it is to launch. That much torque on an upright bike takes ALOT of skill to launch properly, compared to the MT-10, which is just a breeze to get going.

Glad I read the description first.

Code Brown just from watching the tank slapper and emergency braking 😳

That was rather hairy.. had a few shakes but that was new pants time 😂 good save 👏

Well done Chris, epic save mate👍

Ktm fans 🚶🏻‍♂️>>>>>❤

‘Aahhh, that was bad’😂😂😂 That fence came up quick.

1st Much much much more of this 2nd. That was a phenomenal save

Kwak is just awesome with beautiful sounds n looks 👌

Thats one hell of a tank slapper I was expecting fence but you saved it so well!!

THe KTM just exeplifies Badass

5:13 holy sh*t!!!!

KTM 1290 super Duke R ❤🔥🤩🤩

I always wanted a dedicated professional motor bike drag race channel. I think i got it! That's why i subscribed this channel. Wish you best of luck.

Unbelievable save! Cool video. Would like to see more of these with both similar bikes and odd match ups.

F Me Chris!That really was a Moment. Mega save! Glad to see you able to throw the Anchor too! Brown Undies?

LOL so cool "Oh, that was bad". A gent all day :)

Fooooooooooowwwwwk me that was a monster slapper 😲😲😲😲 apologies for the language but that deserves it!!! Glad you kept it sticky stuff down 🙏🏻

Owned a ‘19 MT-10 and now the Gen2 MT-10…love it for the track & street!

Chris really out here putting his life on the line for us 😂

That H2 is something else.

kawasaki always starts first, very insignificant detail in drag test congratulations.

Why no Speed Triple 1200rr? The way those deliver power I am sure it would compete.

Christ Chris! That tank slapper had me touching cloth XD that fence was getting bigger very very quickly.

Was the dude at the start on the 1290 SDR asleep? Drunk? Reading a book? Answers on a postcard

I had a very similar moment to that on an early blade in around 2001. Mine wasn't from a wheelie though - I was coming out of a corner (in Mexico obviously) toward the top of 4th and just on the exit there was a small crest with a few ripples on it. On other bikes it was usually a little wobble of the bars and on with your day. On that evil thing it immediately went lock to lock so violently my hands came off the bars and it looked very similar to that clip. Luckily it was a fairly big, open road and I managed to stay on long enough for it to come back. Scary stuff though. The comment about the brakes is spot on too because that was something else I never expected so when I went for them and not a lot happened until the lever weas really near the bar I pulled over to check the slapper hadn't popped a line or something. Thats one of those endearing moments that stays with you. It also made me love the bike because up until then I liked it but it was a bit too good at everything. Once I realised it was doing a Kato and just waiting for the correct moment to kill me it felt like much more of a challenge. I've had a few blades over the years since and always had a slapper now and then (edit - not like that one - just a couple of lock to lock and mostly head wobbles now and then) but now I know its coming its not too scary - it just adds a flavour of danger. Bikes like that are almost always more rewarding.

'Oh, that was bad' bloody hell Chris, I almost had a bowel accident just watching 😮😮 Great video 👍🙂👍

I had a tankslapper from tying down the forks on a Hayabusa for a top-speed run, of course no brakes for the first couple of squeezes and then rapidly running out of runway coming down from 190ish mph - no ABS in those days so I couldn't just hammer the brakes on. Still great save by Chris - that was mind-bogglingly violent!

I had a Z H2 and should have never sold it, still miss it, such an epic bike but can get you in trouble in a heartbeat!

Jeeeesus, hat off to you pal. What a save!

Did the Duke guy even knew how to launch? Sick drag race 😤

Nice save, Chris! That was a mean tank slapper.

DAMN CHRIS !!!! 😲 I saw your life flash before your eyes. 😳 and I'm 6000 miles away.

"As long as it can get off the line and stay ahead of you two" (the bike will win the drag race) Well, yeah, that's how drag races work.

That Kawasaki is mental. 90s 400cc bikes, zxr400, vfr, rvf, gsxr and fzr vs the new batch Zx400rr and Kove 400rr etc. Would love to see that. Cheers Paul

Amazing drag races, comparisson and veredict! I've just missed a 3 cilynders bike to make it even more interesting!

ZH2 rider here. Last time something hit as hard as ZH2's throtle response, it ended Mike Tyson's carreer.

That tank slapper is nightmare material. Makes me sick to my stomach a little just hearing that sound. 😂

That tank slapper.... and running out of road! Faaaaaaaaaaak! Well saved! 👏👏👏

I'm glad your ok that tank slapper wow this reminds you what can happen and these are good riders anyone else would of been hitting the deck

That Slapper, errr God. It happened to me on a KTM 690 supermoto,flat out in top, never had a bike topped out since.😃

Thank You Almighty God I will buy one of each of them

That Spidi suit is brutally cool

This is probably the only youtube video that has the words "Naked" and "Drag" in its title without it being something politically controversial.

There's so much more clothing in this video than suggested by the title.

One hell of a save from that death wobble

Glad u ok Chris,well done mate,great save

Great as always Chris, i have had a H2 Ninja for a long time and you made me buy the H2sx to because of a great review( haven't any regret though), now i hope I'm not ending up buying the ZH2 as well😂

That stuff at 5:14 is scary. Great job saving it.

Crazy vid guys. Seriously scary bit there too. 👍🤪🇨🇦

H2 vs Street fighter V4s vs BMW M 1000 R please. And great save!

Brutalle, M1000r and Streetfigher has my vote :D

I hope this gets love, so they can bring in the suzuki, the bmw, the tuono, brutale

😯 that was crazy nice safe 🙏

Rumour has it, whenever a camera points at a motorbike, Chad will appear..

Think about this: in 1990, when the original ZX-11 was introduced, it could do the 1/4 in 10.5 @132mph. That’s 34 model years ago. That bike was and still is the epitome of evil fast.

That was outstanding! Now imagine an uncorked Z-H2 with an ECU flash and another 40bhp. Many Z-H2 owners install a steering damper to calm the bike down a bit.

Two words: Roll Race

Awesome video. How about for the next one we have Aprilia Tuono, Ducati Street Fighter, BMW m1000r and Triumph Speed Triple RS. The top 2 faces the Kawasaki and KTM 1290.

Keeping the front wheel on the ground has many benefits!

MT10 was my first bike. A gentle thing when you want it to be. A smooth ripper otherwise.

Awesome skill as always Chris. It would be good to see a video on tank-slappers. How to reduce the likelihood of having one, without having to ride like a snail (Dampners, fork geometry, etc.), and how to control one. I had one years ago, when a bird hit my front brake lever, mid corner at speed. From memory I think I wound it on to cure it, certainly not an option in your situation. I assume you stronlgy applied rear brake and waited for it settle, before jumping on the fronts?

My heart rate shot up just watching that. My gosh son.

Great save 😂😂😂.

2:17 " If we can get off the line and get ahead and stays there it will win" Well, he's not wrong

Aprilia tuono 1100 factory would be interesting against these 3 bikes lads

Hats off, BRAVO!

Impressive. Now let's see the italian hypernakeds and the m1000r against the kawasaki.

Love the Carwow style drag feel... 😁😁😁

Winner shoot out would be fine!

Add in Ducati Streetfighter, Aprilia Tuono, Triumph Speed Triple, BMW M1000R and you would have had all the bases covered. Great video just the same.

I'm getting my ZH2 remapped next week. They tend to make 175Whp stock, and a 'safe' tune is often 215 to the wheel. Wish me luck. I'll post my results.

😶‍🌫️Everytime the guy in the MT10 launches he is delayed, behing he is not launching on point, awesome video👌🏽👍🏽👏🏽💯 but please paractce for a better launch once countdown is started every millisecond matters
