I love my 2019 R1. When I start my bike in the morning for a cold start I fall in love every time. Lol I don’t think you needed the background music in the video.

[@CK_RIDES]

My cousin edited the video and I think he had the volume up too high. I agree.

[@Drunk0nCustard]

I currently have the option to buy a 22 r1m for the same price as the 24 zx10r, i was 100% going for zx10r, but since the discontinuation of the r1's there's an itch there for it.

[@rommelsailo]

Been riding my 155cc R15M ,13.8 hp at the wheel hehe. I cannot imagine how these 150+ hp machines would feel like. Crazy!

[@CK_RIDES]

I love that. Gotta experience it my Brother

[@joras18]

Hello CK! Thank you for always taking the time to educate and inform us, it is very much appreciated. Question: does the ZX have an electronic suspension as the R1M?

[@CK_RIDES]

My pleasure.

[@BangRizky96]

R1M,V4R,ZX10R my dream bike❤

[@CK_RIDES]

APIK...all GREAT picks!!!

Now that’s nuts 🌰 torque everywhere and revs to the moon. V4S is comfy for me at 6’2”

[@CK_RIDES]

I love the V4S

Looking at the 2024 black metallic zx10r 😍 so beautiful

💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿 you all ready kno my favorite 💚

Yasuke you BLEED GREEN‼️❤️

[@esjihn]

thanks for discussion. The BMW S1000RR is still in my mind between these two bikes...

[@CK_RIDES]

I don’t disagree with you.

[@esjihn]

I think these will be my next and final bikes. 2024 ZX-10R and 2025 YZF-R1M. Two awesome bikes.

[@anderwbourget100]

i got my 19 r1m and i love it been debating going the bmw route myself maybe event a h2 got some good miles on it and always love getting new bikes

[@CK_RIDES]

Me too. BMW is on the way. ❤️

[@robd1859]

Your background music was so loud that I had to use captions. The review you gave is not really kind of what we wanted. We kinda wanted to know which one was the better bike. And in stock form which one is a faster bike.

[@jirahmekseti9349]

Which one of these has the more comfortable upright position?? I know these bikes aren’t made for that just wondering which one is more complicated

[@terabaaphu4469]

R1M FTW!❤

[@CK_RIDES]

I concur 💯

[@slimd98]

The r1 is nice,,, I love my ZX10R,,,can’t go wrong with either one,,,

[@robertedmondson4399]

I love all your bikes my favorite is the r1

[@CK_RIDES]

Robert thank you Brother.

[@G-Man01]

Wondering if you've tried the 2024 GSXR with the digital display? How will it measure up to the ZX10R you think?

[@JeffNoel]

I'm taking possession of a 2023 zx-10r krt on friday. Quick question: how are those see-through tank pads, performance (grip level) and comfort wise, compared to a regular tech spec kit?

[@CK_RIDES]

Jeff...to be honest...I'm a TECHSPEC fan thru and thru...but Stompgrip Clear pads are the best for heavily designed bikes like the KRT edition. The grip isn't Great but it's better than nothing when straddling the tank. Just my 2 cents. I hope that helps. CONGRATS on the new bike!!!

[@JeffNoel]

@@CK_RIDES thanks for the quick reply! I might stick with the tech spec then... I'd rather be comfy, safe and confident and hide the graphics a little bit than not be able to trust in the grip level they provide.

[@darren1002]

Music is too loud, please adjust for next video

[@CK_RIDES]

My cousin edited the video and I think he forgot to turn down the volume.

[@HotSizzleTV_]

I am thinking about buying both of these and the bmws1000rr

[@CK_RIDES]

You really can’t go wrong. All of those bikes will definitely give you much joy and excitement.

[@ThePleasurePirate]

What exhausts do you run on these bikes? Looks clean asf.

[@CK_RIDES]

I run Yoshimura AT2 and Alpha Pipes. Most have never heard of them. I swear by them. 🤓

[@cakepastawhey5095]

Not trying to get too personal but how tall are you? which bike is most comfortable for you?

[@CK_RIDES]

No that’s a great question. I’m 5’10. 🤓

[@speedingnewbie6175]

hey man, i just bought a r1m in New zealand, im picking it up on saturday. i was just wondering how much does the fuel economy change when you tune it? how many miles before tuned and how many after ? thanks!

[@CK_RIDES]

I'm soooooooo stoked for you!!!!

[@allnighterist]

You bought a superbike and youre worried about gas? Bro its a performance bike, they all can get thirsty 😅

[@speedingnewbie6175]

@@allnighterist has nothing to do with wanting to know how much it changes when it’s tuned . On my cbr was a crazy change when it comes to fuel and temperature. I’m just curious

[@Chen_Chivalry]

May I ask some questions about zx10r? Does it vibrate a lot while riding on high rpm? And will it overheat while riding in traffic? Thanks

[@CK_RIDES]

Chen...no. The electronic steering dampener is solid. And it gets hot pre-flash. Post flash he's cool as a cucumber.

[@Chen_Chivalry]

@@CK_RIDES alright, thanks. Really appreciate.

[@sivonparansun]

Can you compare Bmw S1k and zx10r?

[@HaloReach242]

I live in Arkansas, and none of the dealers near me have gotten any r1's, they got r7s but not r1's. So ive only gotten to sat on a zx10r

[@CK_RIDES]

The R1 is getting progressively harder to find an acquire.

[@HaloReach242]

@@CK_RIDES in my area, the dealership said Yamahas are hard to come by in general

Have you rode a flashed panagale V4S?

[@CK_RIDES]

Yes. Love it

[@niccocowboymetoyer2972]

What’s with the loud music? I can barely hear you lol 😂. I love your content but when you were reviewing your R1M the music was so loud it drowned you out.

[@rdkng06]

I look at the yamaha,and that tank just screams star wars

[@CK_RIDES]

I’ve never looked at it that way, but it really does. What a great observation.🤣

[@rohanstormbanks7601]

The Yamaha looks sick!...

[@nestalicortez9082]

I am not Indian! I'm actually a Puerto Rican🇺🇸🇵🇷 born and raised in New York, but I did a little digging and a little bit of research of the R1🏍️ in India. Why R1 Yamaha is banned in India? Yamaha R1- recalled for Lead coupler Defects in India Yamaha is recalling its flagship motorcycle, R1 India. The recall is issued after the company. determined that the defect related to headlight... only because I'm a big-time fan of your KZbin videos and I'm a big-time fan of the Yamaha R1!! IS IN MY DNA!! Who knows brother maybe in the near future you would do a raffle maybe one of your viewers like myself we'll have a chance to win one of your bikes!!🏍️🏍️🏍️🏍️ God bless the United States military!!

The Ducati is the purest raw of the manufacturers

[@redrum5.0_]

i wanna see a side by side of the fireblade to the penigale because that’s one bike i think could give ducati a run for their money

[@nandemqadi104]

You do know the R1 and R1M are the same bike right, the only difference is suspension and fairings. There is zero power gains in the M version.

[@CK_RIDES]

Uh…you do know that your comment just contradicted itself. They are NOT the same bike. They have the same ENGINE…but my brother…until you own both of them like I do…you’ll quickly learn for yourself that they ARE NOT the same bike. The R1M is KING.

[@nurizza03]

damn that r1m looks small af compared to zx10....

[@CK_RIDES]

Doesn’t it? It’s completely different geometry.

[@Jeff_Klein]

The R1M is my dream bike. I have a CP3 and would love to upgrade. But in Brazil, like in India, Yamaha gave up on big bikes. They sell mostly small bikes. The ZX10R is available here dough, so I think I’ll have to settle with it. Thanks for sharing the differences.

[@ElLocoDeJuaan]

Hi why do you say that yamaha gave up on bikes? I am from Argentina and i see this. In the dealerships are a lot of big bikes of Kawasaki and none of Yamaha. Thanks

[@centripetal25]

The most annoying thing about the R1M is that for a bike that price, they really should have better welds - aesthetically.

[@CK_RIDES]

I hear you. But it's a hand built swing arm forged and polished by hand. Gives the bike a unique look. I'm not mad.

[@centripetal25]

@@CK_RIDES Don't get me wrong I'm shopping for one that's why I've noticed it. It was jarring to see at first. It's just a shame because older Yamaha used to have such skillful welds. There's really no excuse why the welds on a good mountain bike should be better looking than on a flagship superbike. Still not gonna stop me from buying one though!

[@okie-rider]

My 22 zx6r has a gas gauge

[@CK_RIDES]

I wish the ZX-10R did.

@@CK_RIDES I wish the zx6r had same quickshifter as zx10 so it would be easy to switch to GP shift
