Wanted to make a video comparing the SX-R to the new superjet as I get a lot of questions on which is better. Thanks for watching and let me know which ski you like more!?
Great comparison. I already put money down and picking up my 23' Superjet 6-18-24. Your video helped confirm my decision. It was hard to turn down the HP of the SX-R, but I chose the Superjet . It just felt like the better choice to just go out and have some fun,. I'm in my 50's so I hope the lighter weight will be easier to maneuver and for me to reconnect and my teenage kids to learn on.
Appreciate it and Heck yah!! Superjet is a great well rounded ski. Dont think you will feel anything missing power wise! The learner mod is to keep speed demons under control lol other than that i find that it’s easier to learn in full power mode. As power is your friend when you start to loose it! Pretty much just used learner mode for the break in ride. Congrats on the new ski! And happy father’s day!🤘🏼😎 looking forward to hear how you guys like it!!
I just rode one this weekend after 30+ years of not riding a stand up. It wasnt as easy as when i was in my teens or early 20's, lol. Im 53 and out of shape and it didnt take me but a few minutes to realize this fact. The new skis arent even comparable to the old ones in terms of power. Its crazy how much power these have. I think once i get used to it and get in better shape its going to be a blast. Good luck.
Nice vid. I just bought a 2023 Superjet as well. Being built with the RIVA racing stage 1 kit and some other upgrades. What exhaust is on yours? that sounds great
Appreciate it! we just have the riva free flow exhaust. It makes it way louder out the water and sounds wicked in person! Congrats on your new superjet it truly is great all around ski!
I think they get compared because they're both standups, and while that's fair per se, its not really fair to both of them. I feel like the SXR is the cheapest race ski on the market (when you compare them to a GP1) whereas the SJ is something you'd buy for the family at the lake over maybe a Spark Trixx. Its like comparing RXPX and a Yamaha EX because they're both couches. I know what I'd choose, because I put a deposit on it.
@@Floatsorrolls1 So the dealer I had a deposit with said they expected one in on the next truck but it didnt arrive. About an hour away another place has one for about 15.5k OTD but thats a bit pricier than my agreed price with the other store. Weather is still kind of bad down in Florida, but I am ready to hit the water as soon as its above 70 and not raining.
@@SonetFoundry hahah appreciate it! Me and dad built it 😎 Our 2stroke trailer is just as cool! Pretty much same design and copied to this trailer since the 2 stroke trailer did so well over the last 10 years. Thanks for noticing and watching 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼!
Both are fantastic skis! Have had the sxr 1500 for over 4 years and it’s been flawless. We had the superjet for over a year and it’s been flawless. I will note a few owners of the superjet have reported some cosmetic cracking of the engine bay near the engine mounts or on the exterior( we have NOT experienced this issue) also the sxr-1500 earlier ones had some reports of fuel pumps fails (we have NOT experienced this issue either) neither of these know issues have been issues on a large scale but worthy of noting of things to check if you are looking used or new. I have 100% confidence in either ski to go long distance and have no concern of failure. That of which cannot be said for our 2014 yamaha superjets lol. Those 2smokes are heck alot of fun but man can they require maintenance. The new 4 stroke skis are extremely reliable compared to the old ones. Just oil changes and thats all we have done in terms of maintenance.
With a big enough wave anything can do a backflip lol jk don’t believe I’ve seen anyone backflip a sxr1500. Its pretty much impossible unless you had giant ocean wave and the worlds biggest balls 😂 the tr-1 would be a big enough challenge but has been done before. Our 701 superjets are most capable of doing a backflip though still a great feet to accomplish. Most guys doing flips have dedicated tricks skis that are half the size of our 701 superjet and almost double the power. There is no way of doing flips on anything but a trick ski without a gigantic wave. The thrust on the tricks skis as well as the trim nozzle allows them to launch into the air with little to no wake. It would still require a trim nozzle and other mods to make it reasonably feasible on any stock ski. Id love to have a trick ski but you’re talking big money for the flat water backflip ski. If you bought a trick ski off the shelf they’re like $35-45k. building one urself still costs about 20k for a used haul and fresh wicked dasa motor.

Great job as always Matt!
Appreciate it Ace! 😎🤘🏼 Hope you got my email and having a good week!
Wow great video Sir, keep up the good work.
Well my stock 94 ,Yamaha FX1 does 52mph. Great to see your demonstration of the new 4 strokes.
Really well done!
Thanks man 🤘🏼😎 your rx8 sounds wicked!
Sxr is a heavy powerhouse but i agree both have different uses

@@Floatsorrolls1 Awesome man - thanks. That exhaust is part of the RIVA stage kit so I'm pumped
@@Floatsorrolls1got my Superjet and thing rips 👍 thanks for the feedback as finding 4 stroke Superjet videos are not that common on YT

Well said its a big reason why we have both and are keeping both completely different purposes build! 😎 any word on when urs will be in?

GOTTA HAVE EM BOTH AM I RIGHT?
Hahaha HECK YAH BROTHER!!!
Am I the only one that recognized the awesome custom trailer??

Which one is more reliable?

any two stroke ski, so neither of there
Can Yamaha Superjet and Kawasaki SX-R 1500 do a backflip??

A little bit faster lol Go wide open throttle side by side for 30 seconds and tell me that's only a little bit
Oh i have no problem saying the sxr is faster 😂 its a 🚀 60mph feels like 100 on the water lol.
@@Floatsorrolls1 I found a leftover 2023 that is the color scheme I like better than the 2024 , I'm thinking about picking it up
