2023 Kawasaki ZX-10R - Complete In Depth Review! - What the other videos aren't showing you!

[@bryanl9445]

Thinking of upgrading from my 636, the weight difference makes it seem like the same bike with almost double the power and tons of cool tech

[@PeterLoweOne]

You're exactly who I would think Kawasaki is aiming this bike at. This bike is special, for sure!

[@F.R.E.E.D.O.M.R.I.N.G.S.]

I got that exact same color and year❤ i will be glad to leave my feedback, so far its a very nice handling bike. The more and more i tinker with her the better she gets. I highly recommend this bike as approachable and very rider friendly. Once you master the mode and setting it up its just as the man said in the video, just switch and go. I absolutely ❤ the 2023 Kawasaki Ninja ZX10R.

[@Rainoman]

Zed ex ten R! Love it!

[@karthickkrishnamurthy9743]

Well put up review..kudos. Currently i own a street triple 765 and looking for an upgrade..would you suggest zx 10r for my 6.1 feet height considering the ergos

[@PeterLoweOne]

I think 6'1 would be fine. I'm about 6 feet tall, and I'm good on this bike. You'll probably want to try it yourself first as everyone is longer or shorter in different sections of their body, but I think you'll be good.

[@thenashvillenightshow5119]

Nice thorough rundown of one of my favorite bikes

[@PeterLoweOne]

Thanks for watching!

[@Cotivity]

The TFT screen included with the new models of Kawasaki bikes is amazing!

[@jachetcuti]

Interesting vid and very well presented. I have a ZX10R 2023 version and wish to comment in respect of the fuel guage. You mention that the fuel gauge indicates the remaining amount of fuel left in the tank however my understanding is that the fuel gauge indicates the amount of fuel consumed. Therefore in your vid the fuel gauge is indicating that 0.2 litres were consumed (probably on an already practically empty tank). In fact if you had to fill in the tank to the max, you may then delete the number to zero. on riding the bike that number will then start to increase and not decrease as implied by you.

[@PeterLoweOne]

INTERESTING!! Ok... thanks for that! I'll be honest, I didn't look into that, I just made an assumption with that one display. Obviously I was mistaken and I apologize for that. I really appreciate your feedback to clear that up for me.

[@jachetcuti]

@@PeterLoweOne No apologies necessary. In fact the fuel gauge on the ZX10R is the only issue I have with this bike considering the fact that it is super loaded with electronics and settings yet it misses the good old traditional fuel gauge if anything as an added function on screen. It gets worse. The traditional fuel gauge exists on the Ninja 1000 SX (as shown in your 2023 Kawasaki Ninja 1000SX review) so why not on the ZX10R 2023? Maybe Kawasaki night release an upgrade which may be downloaded eventually so fingers crossed there.

[@treepercent7870]

@@jachetcuti because the ZX-10R is a different kind of Beast

[@Richaag]

I still haven’t figured out why they go through lengths to design these cool looking bikes just to use reflectors from a kid’s bicycle. I get that reflectors are mandatory but they’re only required to have a certain square area of size. They should have the same design lines as the rest of the bike. The ones used on the Versys 1000 look so much better.

[@rileystanek]

Great point 🙂Why can't we start seeing more creative reflector designs?

[@PaddleDogC5]

Cheap

[@phantomnus]

I’ve been anxiously waiting for this one, the quick shifter, is it a up/down quick shifter or just a up one, also does the bike have a accessory port for a phone charger?

[@PeterLoweOne]

The quick shifter is UP/DOWN. I'll cover that tomorrow as I compare it to the ZX-6R which has the up only quickshifter. I didn't see a 12 volt charger on the dash, but my Z900RS has one under the seat. I'll dig into that a little more tomorrow. Great questions! Thanks for watching!

[@liamfr7918]

I might be getting the 40th anniversary zx10 and im so excited

[@johnharris3335]

I’m thinking about the same bike lol… I’m a Honda guy but this bike gives ylu a lot of the money

[@JeffNoel]

Coming from the ZX-4R, ZX-6R and ZX-10R comparison video, just wanted to confirm what you say in this video here: Yep, it's an electronically-controlled steering damper that adjusts according to the speed. I believe the IMU could also affect it.

[@PeterLoweOne]

Awesome! Thanks!

[@gw4717]

I got the 2020 zx10r instead of the 2022 zx10r and forsure the 2020 zx10r is just better bike hands down looks better faster all my friends got the 2022 and they all wish they went with the 2020 both great bikes but 2020 is the zx10r to get I will never ride anything else

[@eljefe9377]

@gw4717 and the 2020 (gen5) is not faster than the gen6. Confirmation bias to the extreme based on your stupid uneducated comments. Your friends have the better bike. More HP in the gen6, and it has been proven.

[@180FiftyFive]

@@gw4717 why do you say the 2020 model is better? looks aside which is purely opinio0n, what is better about the 2020 model?

[@zxtenn]

Which one is fastest from a roll since they all been flashed, exhaust, etc.? I like the Aprilia Factory

[@gregoryhodges3754]

What is the build quality (fit and finish, etc) compared to the Aprilia RAV4and others? Thank you.

[@abhi7887]

Did I hear that correct, 4RR is in Freddytown? Great video on 10R btw. Thanks Peter....

[@PeterLoweOne]

I believe that both the ZX-4R and ZX-4RR showed up today. I don't think they'll be ready to go tomorrow, but I will have them both on video this week and then they'll be in the showroom. Lots of fun stuff coming this week!

[@abhi7887]

@@PeterLoweOne The question that everyone wants answered, are they limited to 11.5k rpm for CA..... Cant wait for your review.....

[@mariodorado9302]

Very nice in-depth review. Keep them coming please

[@OakInch]

You are going to have this bike on your floor for a long time. 21,300 before taxes and fees? Dude. MSRP is like 17,500.

[@PeterLoweOne]

I film in Canada. So these are Canadian prices. Also, I'm independent from the store. I don't set pricing.

[@OakInch]

@@PeterLoweOne Ahhh. Ok. That makes sense now.

[@sanjv1120]

very good review ✌

[@rileystanek]

The exhaust may be "sound tuned" but it's not sleek or stylish. Something for owners to possibly modify down the line 😃

[@PeterLoweOne]

I think a lot of people who have this bike aren't afraid to modify it. The exhaust doesn't bother me, but again, I think if you have a bike, you should love it, and if you want to tweak it, go for it! A bike should reflect you, so when people want to make their bike their own, I'm all in!

[@HoeLeeFuQQ]

I just got a bill of sale for a 2023 zx-10r KRT Edition today, let’s see if I get it

[@PeterLoweOne]

Great bike!!

[@HoeLeeFuQQ]

I got the bike btw 👍🏾1 Mile on it

[@NHlocal]

I am, right now, working on buying a '23 ZX10R. I had a 2018 ZX10R and will be using the new bike exactly the same way. I commute pretty much daily to work and I also go to track days to help improve my riding skills and also just started with some "fun" amateur racing. One thing you do not want to have on the track is ABS. Can you turn off the ABS??? Thanks for the video and keep yourself safe! 😃👍❤🏍 Randy

[@PeterLoweOne]

I'm pretty sure that ABS is now required by law in many areas and for that reason it may not have a switch to turn it off, but I'm sure you can pull the abs fuse for track use. That would be my guess anyway.

[@NHlocal]

@@PeterLoweOne That would work, thanks! 😎👊

[@santiago-xd8771]

Aerodynamic on the mirrors is crazy lol.... No one has mirrors on on the track bruh...

[@PeterLoweOne]

No one uses cruise control on the track either bruh. This bike has street features and track features.

Awesome Iron Horse, thanks for your presentation, Peter 👍

[@markxlr8s]

I miss the rpm gauge of the 2017 zx10r

[@100rando7]

So beautiful

[@_baughy3532]

So does the 2023 zx10r have abs or kibs? Neither kawasaki website nor my local dealer listing mention it.

[@PeterLoweOne]

It has KIBS. The Canadian website clearly shows it. Our bike is a Canadian bike. www.kawasaki.ca

[@_baughy3532]

@Peter Lowe One thank you. I'm in America. Not sure why our site doesn't show or promote it. Do you know if there is/ would be a different?

[@PeterLoweOne]

@@_baughy3532 it should be the same as far as I know.

[@Bisnitch007]

the krt edition does the base does not for 2023 according the dealer I spoke to and the spec sheets on the website. will confirm when I pick mine up this week.

[@markxlr8s]

Wish it came with rr wheels instead it comes with 600 wheels

[@leebrewer7394]

Just looked thier prices, higher than most.

[@michaeltruscott9443]

How much does it cost

[@jayjackson1562]

Is this a big upgrade over the z900?

[@PeterLoweOne]

The Z900 makes about 127 hp. This makes over 200 hp. So in that way alone, it's a big upgrade, but if you go down the component list, virtually every component would be considered an upgrade over the Z900. The dash has more functions, the brakes are better, the suspension is better and more adjustable, this bike has an IMU that allows for much more precise safety systems, this bike has tires with more grip, etc. Etc. But even if virtually every component is an upgrade, I'd still choose my Z900RS SE over the ZX-10R. Specs never tell the whole story.

[@illbeda1974]

Why do they keep putting the clunky old school 3 spoke wheels on a bike of this caliber.And no gold anodized forks on their top tier bike,come on guys.

[@captainfreight5206]

I might be odd one out here, but the three spoke wheels have grown on me as well as the black Showa forks with krt livery. Personally don’t like the black liveries kawi are doing

Hi

[@markxlr8s]

Idc about cruise control a super bike shouldn’t have it or heated grips too much technology they should just have abs

[@PeterLoweOne]

I don't mind cruise on a bike like this just because it gives you a break on a longer ride. The riding position is so performance focused, that it can be nice to have a break over the longer boring roads.

[@Seth_Rogen]

You’re right. It should just stay the same forever with no updates or improvements

[@charlesgriffin2002]

[@PaddleDogC5]

Downforce on bikes is a joke. Little winglets give how many pounds?

[@PeterLoweOne]

I don't think it's a joke, I think it's as effective as making a tweak to suspension settings. It's all about getting that tiny edge to increase lap times. Having said that, for most users of these bikes, it's more marketing than functional. Certainly not something that you're likely to feel in your daily commute.

[@PaddleDogC5]

@@PeterLoweOne so how many pounds of down force does it have? Never seen any manufacturer release numbers. Your hand out a car window angled downward creates down force. So if they say 17% what is the total number at what speed? Does it help Jonathan Rae, yes a win by an inch is a win. Nice reviews in any case thanks.

[@PeterLoweOne]

@@PaddleDogC5 I don't know the numbers off the top of my head, but the numbers are available. I've read the numbers for BMW where they list the amount of downforce at a given speed, but as I said, I don't have some of those numbers memorized.

[@PaddleDogC5]

@@PeterLoweOne nice never seen any I'll try googling it later.

[@PaddleDogC5]

@@PeterLoweOne looked and found zero numbers on down force. Did see video 44teeth where he said he couldn't feel any difference in down force.
