Yamaha R1 v Kawasaki ZX-10R - THE VERDICT! - 44Tour EP04 

You want the angry dragon my friend. Jizz in her mouth and slap the back of her head so it comes out her nose... Angry dragon ;P

Two new things!

Would love to see a "Riding Technique" video by AF and BVG regarding being sexual deviants.

yeah but I'm a bit confused regarding the difference between Alaska pipeline and space docking? The boys kinda left it hanging.

Be honest, gen 4 and gen 5 zx10s are faster than 2015+ r1 in a straight line. But not a huge gap tho, much like a 720s or p1 (zx10r) is a bit faster in a straight line than a porsche 918 (r1). But the 918 sets faster lap times around the track.

But you don’t get R1!

Yeah and just a reflash on the ecu would make that zx10r a different animal especially since in stock form the graph shows low rpm lag.

Yeah because it's a cheaper built bike 😂

@@davidstancu2963 my zx6r is over 50k still running. Da fuq you on?

Agree, let's see a review with other bikes that meet the latest Euro regs about to come in, a right pair of t......'s. You guys need some self respect not to mention food, gross! FRO Un-sub for me.

I don`t know where you get your information, but you are talking rubish! You say that since 1998 inline 4s have dominated every class?! Where? If you take WSBK as the highest class there is, the inline 4s are completely beaten and at the bottom! Since 1988, the founding of WSBK, Ducati's V.. correctly L-Twins won the championship 17 times!!! Honda won 4 times with a V4 layout and in 1999 was so desperate, eventhou 2nd, that they've rather made their own V-Twin to try to beat Ducati. Guess dumping money into an RC45 that nobody bought was too expensive even for Honda... Aprilia won 4 championships with her V4, but I guess we can call the 2010 titel a cheating, because of their gear driven cams, so after disqualification Ducati would be the championship winner. And finaly we have 5 championship wins by your beloved inline 4s... Wow! So I'd be more careful with what you say there. Yes inline 4's are more succesful in BSB, which has an incredibly high standard and they are more succesful in cup races all over the world. That's true! It comes from the thing, that it's easier to tune them, it's cheaper, way cheaper, to run them and it's way easier for riders to ride them. Any non-ace rider will be quicker on an inline 4, but the best will be able to benefit from the V-Twin and V4. BTW., not even in MotoGP were inline 4s a real succes... The only manufacturer able to win with a inline 4 layout was Yamaha, but all other succesful makes were V4's even in the two stroke era. And not anyone will apreciate a inline 4 even on the street. I am completely bored of inline 4's. Really! Don't like the way I have to rev it like a maniac to get something out of the engine. It all went to trash with 1000cc inline 4's, where the displacement takes care of everything, but 600's... Only on Ducati's I learned to enjoy corners and not the full throttle open on the straight sections between them. Everybody has it's opinion and everybody likes something different, but that is the reason, why not every bike is an inline 4 and I am so happy about it! And to be honest, an aircooled, 2 valve engined Monster 1000 was the most funny bike I've ever ridden. It is so rewarding without puting you into danger and every twist of the throtle makes you smile and feel warm! I guess I have to see for myself, if I really need that 160hp, but maybe one day I'll get back to that aircooled L-Twin and enjoy tight turns. Personaly I don't understand the need of a 200hp Supersport on conventional roads, using just the 1st three gears out of six and if you want to hammer it go to the highway and destroy your tire by flattening it. How many people do track days on their superspoorts? Only a few out of them who buy them.

TinoBeano MotoWorld you sound like a child that just had his toys taken away

Well John McGinnis gets it done very well on the Kawasexi on the Isle of Man TT. Which that track truly tests the bikes capabilities.

@@Nonicknameleftforme 4 years later and still a mic drop comment lol

How do you manage that? The icons black out under load?

R1_Rebe1 Off throttle.

@@mattyoz0 Are you f*cking serious??? I have had my R1 for like a year now and never knew this.

@@mattyoz0 Same w the ZX10

or an alaskan pipeline

You're the CEO at RunningOutOfFuel Ltd. ;)

Try riding a Monster 1100. I get 94 Miles per tank. I once got 109!

I thought my SuperChicken was bad at 110 haha.

My Honda VTR does 93 miles (full on economy riding) before the lights on :,), 70 if your pressing on 😄

That's more like AdjrianNickelodeon issues...

It's coming tomorrow!

I would also like to see 44Teeth going raw on the R1

Raw-dog?

Raw-dog or nah, dawg.

Alen4805 its just paint

You and me both brother! 👍

Adam Stratford WSBK since '15 has been all Zx-10r, ironically the same year this "new" R1 came out to WSBK. You say "refined"?! Lol Kawi has won 15/16/17 WSBK based on this 2011 zx-10 model. Refined is what this zx-10 is....R1 lots of technology but on the track, where it matters; is a big disappointment. A lot of R1M owners were pissed to see what the zx-10 has done since 2015. Yes I own a Kawi, but that's the truth; too much hype. Just look at 2017 WSBK and see where this R1 has come compared to Zx-10. Hint R1 not even a podium in any of the first 4 rounds. This is world level riders, factory backed and based on production bike models. Had to vent this all out-way too much hype this R1...if it was close in the races it would be understandable, but the race results are embarrassing for Yamaha, and they know it, and so do you. And all the other R1 lovers. WSBK champ 3 years in a row!!! This year is a copy of last 2. 4 rounds 4 1st's enough said.

bonnie boriboun rant away I actually 💚 the Kawasaki Zx10r and Zx6r I'm a big Kawasaki fan

Or the HP sauce

+Mike Pop If I happen to win the lottery, definitely

Ben WoodHead do what baron did and get a second hand one ;)

+Mike Pop I would if like him I had a mate who's binned one not too badly. Or had a mate.

Ben WoodHead i too wish i had friends with more expensive bikes

Michael Hopkins how many motogp championships does Kawasaki have vs Yamaha?

Michael Hopkins WSBK is based on these street legal bikes, a lot closer than MotoGP bikes. Yes Yamaha has GP titles, but the zx-10 which is very close to J.R's winning WSBK 15/16 and probably 17 too, is a lot closer to compare. This 15 R1 hasn't done squat in WSBK. Even in '17, Kawi's rein is getting kinda boring, no competition besides his teammate and occasionally a Duck.....

bonnie boriboun lol moto gp he says? They are so far removed from the factory bike they may as well be ufos. The only relative comparison is Superstock with WSBK a close second. In the Blue teams defence, the new R1 is still being refined by these race teams where as the Green teams have a head start on them. The fact is though, as it stands today, Kawasakis dominance is undeniable. Our opinions mean shit. The results speak for themselves.

actually, at least in my country, italy, zx 10r doesn't even appear in the top 100 bikes ( all kind of bikes). whilst ducati 959/1299 , r1, s1000rr are on top of sports bike... winning doesn't help you selling anymore !

Lmao the best rider in the world is on a Honda idiot..

Wrong it has full exhaust you only need to remove CAT but it wont gain as much as the other bike casue the end can is tuned propperly at Kawasaki.. This system they allso has as a option by on the "new"zx14 and they got 8whp gain even when the CAT was on.. so when they removed it only 2whp gain.. ALL 1000cc kawasaki trough time has full titanium exhaust

its not the same bike you and i can go and buy off the shelf though.. that is what we have to test.

in the size of the bikes??? I'm tall, I measure 1.90 cms. that sbk 1000 cc will be more comfortable? and as I say that I do not like suzuki .. jajaja or S1000RR, or zx10r or R1 or RSV4 .. thanks my friends

Highly doubt it, politicians don't give a shit about motorcyclists so they'll keep it as it is to stop all the pandas from dying

Nah, they'll keep it because the green movement and push for emission standards is coming from all over the place.

Well the UK compared the to rest of Europe if a relatively small market. It depends whether the manufacturers are willing to spend resources to produce a slightly differently tuned bike purely to sell in the UK market. I have a feeling we will be purchasing whatever is made available to Europe as a whole. Unless UK regulations becomes stricter than EU regulations of course lol.

It will be kept. Unlikely manufacturers will change it to sell a few hundred bikes over here..

Brexit hasn't happened yet, at it may very well never happen. Also, the European market will still need Euro4 bikes and manufacturers probably won't make another version for the UK market, seeing as getting their bikes Euro4 compliant costs alot of money and they need to sell those bikes to get a return on that cost.

+1! I thought the HP4 and 899 would be in the test?? "We also chucked in a HP4 and 899 BSB bike because why not ;)"

We only had slicks for the R1 and ZX-10 R so it would be an unfair timed result if we tested the HP4.

i dont actually know... technically we COULD be free to change.. but i doubt it will happen as manufacturers would need to produce a seperate UK version and the UK is still commited to what they call... "climate change"......

+BaronVonGrumble my thoughts too, if they changed the laws people would wet their panties

i'm sure the Americans and such get the same Euro4 regulated bikes we do as it would cost to much for manufacturers to develope/assemble separate bikes for non compliant countries...if we don't adopt Euro4 as a country, there may be a chance we can get away with changing exhausts etc to help 'open up' the bike, to early to know really, good question though.

+heathy912 i dont know about that. cars and bikes sold in california (one of our states) have more emissions parts than vehicles sold in all other states. yamaha for example doesnt put the immobilizer system on our bikes either. if the stuff doesnt need to be there im sure the manufacturer isnt going to put it on so they can keep the price lower.

ducati shipped non euro 4 bikes to usa,Australia & new zealand.

Yep, landing next week!

44Teeth great just a shame that the TT doesn´t allow you to use any onboard videos

Where did your friend get that 2016 Kawasaki ZX 10 rear seat cowl? I need one as well

+blueleague it's Kawasaki UK's press bike, hence the aftermarket goodies

+44Teeth thank you for the response

Honda probably used Euro4 as an excuse to axe a bike that's doing very bad in sales. The 600 SS class isn't as popular as it once was.

I have this exact 2016 ZX10R, the fist tune they came with from the factory with was pretty trash, mine got updated Apr 2017 by the dealer, and it was WAY better. Gearing is way to tall, 42T sprocket and an aftermarket flash, she RIPPSSSS!!!! Mine Dyno'ed 192rwhp, stock exhaust.

See how it handles Euro 4 handicap.

Both!

awesome 30 on the zx and 20s on the hp and r1?
