Hey, good review. It would be cool if you could get your hands on the 2021 zx 10. I'm interested in how you feel about it. Have a good week.

[@ridexdrive]

@@ralphwarom2514 thanks! Unfortunately motorcycles can be hard to get a hold of. Hopefully once the weather warms back up there will be more coming. Appreciate the comment!

[@jdmikeg4]

Update 2021: I have since rode my 2020 ZX-10R at the track and it was a blast. The bike is super smooth on the corners and under acceleration. It still feels “big” with a wide fuel tank but I actually like the ergonomics. Ride safe all!

[@ridexdrive]

Awesome! Thanks for this great update. Safe riding! Enjoy!

[@Tank_Taps]

I love the quality of these videos and the reviewer does an EXCELLENT job. I would love to see some more 600cc supersports or mid range bikes though. Keep up the good work!

[@ridexdrive]

@@Tank_Taps thank you! Hopefully we’ll be able to make that happen in the future.

[@jdmikeg4]

Like your honest review. The 2020 10R is one of those bikes where only the owner “knows” how to ride it (fast). It has its own personality that seperates it from the other 1,000’s.

[@ridexdrive]

Yeah. Had a chance to revisit this bike, riding along with a 2020 BMW S 1000 RR. Going between the bikes, the conclusion was the ZX10R wins hands down in the character department. Thanks for the view and comment!

[@swlimable]

Wise men say a true ninja is a master of himself and his environment. Maybe Kawasaki intended this paint job to blend in....

[@suspensefulness]

man u gotta do more bikes...love how u review in real world conditions💯

[@ridexdrive]

Really appreciate the feedback. Definitely trying to push this year to get more motorcycle reviews on the channel. There will certainly be more to come though! Thanks again!

[@suspensefulness]

@@ridexdriveman im locked in..every bike review is track driven, when 90% of us are street riders in real environments..you should also go back and review some older models ...gixxers 1000, r1,etc...im subbed in now salute again💯

[@ridexdrive]

Super Sic-o thanks! Yeah, that’s the plan. And I 100% agree!

[@mavricxx]

The thing that turns me off about this bike is the dash, it doesn't even have a fuel gauge. When they do their update I hope they add a nice color TFT display like the 2020 S1000RR, add cruise control and heated grips. But you're right, it definitely need LED lights and to have both headlights run at the same time while riding too like they did with the 2020 ZX6R.

[@Nebulasmoke]

You know, I wasn't a big fan of the dash either, until I bought a brand new 2020 ZX10R this summer. While I do agree with you, the no gas gauge sucks,I very quickly feil in love with the dash. I really love the RPM arc over it and it's really easy to see everything. It's actually a pretty cool layout. I was surprised how much and how quickly I grew to love it.

[@adrenalinejunkie301]

Tbh I bought my 2016 zx10r because of the dash. I test rode 21 s1000rr, 2015 r1, and a 20 gsxr1000. I found the lcd dash hella distracting for me. The rpm readout is perfect for peripheral vision since I look at the road more then the dash itsself. It’s not “cool” enough that I’m looking at it and checking it out, yet it’s bright, noticeable, and informative enough for what I need it to be. Very happy with it. Simplicity. No fuel gauge isn’t an issue to me. Fuel light I’m good 😊

[@taylorhickman84]

"Ninjas have always been heavy bikes" wasn't the 1st gen 10r one of the lightest liter bikes at the time? My '05 with a slip on exhaust weighed 426 lbs.

[@DanielNguyen-yy1wy]

Reduce treble mic settings please. More mid. Try a blue yeti mic.

[@KawaRider88]

Music? Also well done on the review! The ninjas are great bikes for the money. I

[@ridexdrive]

Thanks! I added a link in the description

[@Nebulasmoke]

Unless you buy it in the middle of a pandemic and stock is almost non existent. Then you pay full price like i did for my 2020 ZX10R this summer 😋

[@ridexdrive]

haha. Yeah. Still one of the best pure riding experiences you can have. Enjoy!

[@S58PSHIFTING]

No they need LED lights, i got them installed sadly out of pocket.

[@PatsA11Day]

Easily the best liter bike

[@marktalaro3207]

Hey. I also have 2019 Zx10r. I noticed we have the same exhaust. But with my bike, the RPM is going up & down from 1-3K RPM when I'm on 1st gear. This started to happen ever since i replaced my stock exhaust & removed the catalytic converter. What do you think is causing it?

[@ridexdrive]

Mark Talaro this is not our bike. That’s a common issue. Contact a local shop and they should be able to give advice. Congrats on your Ninja.

[@MADLITS1K]

Did you get a power commander and get a tune? I would try that also change your air filter

[@bradjean4486]

Recall on reeds as of last week

[@alejandroaveiro4524]

Cruise control?

[@ridexdrive]

No. No cruise control.

[@alejandroaveiro4524]

@@ridexdrive Thanks for the response! I've been looking for that answer everywhere haha thanks again take care!

[@ridexdrive]

@@alejandroaveiro4524 Glad to help.

[@josueruiz3923]

2021 you're not getting that bike under $16k with that color scheme

[@ridexdrive]

There aren't many of these bikes on the market but we were able to find 2019 bikes like this one for under $16k.

[@chicagor6700]

4:26 missing bolt ... it pains my heart.

[@ridexdrive]

haha. It's from removing the front reflector.

[@stevesmith6236]

@@ridexdrive First thing I noticed too.

[@Benjay1975]

@@ridexdrive yes - so put the bolt back in

[@ridexdrive]

Benjay1975 have you removed a reflector from a ZX10R?

[@trouble603]

It took you 3 minutes and 3 seconds to show the left side of the bike

[@ridexdrive]

Lol. Word.
