Is The Kawasaki ZX-10R BAD For Daily Riding/Commuting?

- čas přidán 20. 06. 2024
- Welcome to our video testing out the daily commuter abilities (or lack there of) the 2024 Kawasaki ZX-10R. In todays episode, I give my final verdict on whether the ZX-10R is actually "streetable", or should you look for something else for every day riding. Let us know what you think in the comments!

It can be nice to have power that you are not using, and to develop the skills to work within that range. It's like having space to stretch, you don't expect to spend all your time stretching or to use all the space to stretch in. But it does mean that when you need to reach that little bit further you can.
There is calmness to delicately regulating the inputs to something that will buck you off if you over do it.
If you have weight on your hands, you're not riding right.
Tension up your gut, squeeze your knees against the tank, takes the weight off your wrists.
There it is! 🦾🐉🥷🏽💚 with a full exhaust system and a proper tune, that machine is a monster. I picked up 21hp on top. 🥷🏽
I would imagine the power delivery smoothed out to be more linear...?
The only two i4 bikes I'd consider are the ZX-10R and the S1KRR they're both just about as practical as a 200HP+ Superbike can be.
If you ever get a chance try to ride a tuned Speed Triple RR it gains 30+ bhp with a good tune and so many of the early reviews are dog crap treating it like a standard naked bike when it's absolutely not and just endlessly complaining about the clip-ons.
It's an absolute gem of a bike and really gets overlooked.
Do you have a Speed Triple rr? I heard about the Bren Tune giving it 30hp more but was unsure if that was true or not. Seems like quite a lot. I have an rr and would like more power so I have been checking out the zx-10 as a replacement. However, I am torn bc the fit and finish if the Triumph is superior to the majority of bikes out there.

Sadly haven't had the chance to tune mine yet but from everything I have heard it is very much true. Unless you plan on being primarily track focused I'd stick with the Speed. Both the Speed and the ZX-10 are two of the most heavily restricted bikes stock, with the Speed being limited to something around 60% on the stock map with the ZX-10 being fairly similar being just absolutely dead in the middle and just flat up top. Both bikes desperately need to be tuned.
Also I don't think the ZX-10 would be as big of a jump as you are hoping the Speed still absolutely dominates it on torque, my Speed holds its own with my friends lightly tuned S1KRR until about 140 where the Speed starts really hitting its restrictions.
Bonus tip not sure if you knew this already but the Speed is a good deal faster in 5th gear than 6th with about a 13mph higher top speed until you get it flashed.
@@shauns5278 thanks man I didn’t know a lot of this info! I will look at the tune first before I decide if I should trade it in for a sportbike.
My main riding is the canyons vs the track. My thoughts for trading it for a sportbike would be the faster motor and the full fairing. Sounds like our Speed just needs to be tuned to get the most out of it!
@@EpiceverythingProductions
Yeah definitely; the Speed also has better brakes and suspension than the ZX-10R, for the average rider it's definitely the better choice.
The ZX really only wins out on absolute peak top end and aerodynamics. The RR with a tune is limited to around 185-190 because of aerodynamics but not sure how often you'd want to go that fast without a steering damper.
@@shauns5278 yes speaking of a steering damper, I couldn’t find a place to install one as the RS there is a place to install one.
Just wanted to say i enjoy your vlogs and points you make. The one on speed limits from a from a open minded view point practically. I ride a Ninja 650 2022 which is my second "big bike". If you are ever in the Cheshire area and want to borrow mine for a video let me know. Keep the content coming :)
Ive got a 23 reg zx10r and you can enjoy the bike on country lanes at normal speeds because the suspension quality and handling is top notch. For a superbike it turns really well even on country roads unlike some other sportsbikes ive owned which need to be travelling rapidly to steer properly. 👍
I find it to be a sublime daily rider. But I’m a lifelong track rider. I come at it from a different perspective. Feels to me like a beautifully smooth, street missile. The factory tune is massively improved with a proper dynotune and ecu flash. Click on me to see.
That’s a beast from Kawasaki😊
Do a concourse 14 review. Feel the vairable valve timing torque 3-8k rpms compare it comfort and fast vs zx14
Really like your videos and mini reviews and thoughts, but just one thing, dude, your lifesavers....please :)
He is good at checking mirrors, but I bet you one week of mirror deletion and his life savers would be just as on point.
@@bearwolffish Should be using both. I'm not gonna tell anyone how to ride, but it just makes me so nervous watching it.
So beautiful ride with my favorite bike ZX10R but what a name of this country?!
hey man, love the vids. just wondering about your opinion on height for sport bikes. im a learner wanting a yzf 125 but im like 6'1 and get told its going to be suffering. im getting one anyway but i think they are overexaggerating and am trying to get as many opinions as i can. thanks!!!
I’m 6’0 and I started on a ninja 650 and after a few months I could feel how small it was for me. Granted I’m still riding it 5 years later so do what you must with that info my man 🤘
I live approximately 8 miles from my works, any bike would work for that distance..
I don't have the fastest power mode on my 1400. As the fuel it uses is worse than a alcoholic. I have my mode set on full power. Traction 2.
If I ever get another bike, or second bike, top speed won't be my priority. Low to mid range would be, unless you track your bike, go to the TT. or autobahn. Were would you get the opportunity to use your full power?
Exceleration and mid range you would..
I use my zzr1400 for work (weather pending) and that works fine for me..
Why does that pipe sound stock?
In Canada you can only use up to 53% of the ninja 400's power on the road, by that metric the ninja 400 is overkill.
1000cc 1 gear, 600cc 3 gears, 125cc need more gears xD
I own a 2022 ZX10R and if I had unlimited money, I still wouldn't trade it for any other sportsbike 💚
My new bike in diablo black :-) .
Pussycat compared to a gen 1. Softer, bigger, no low range power. Wouldnt swap
