What makes the better Drag Bike?? GSXR 1000 or ZX10R ?? Let's Debate

[@dardenboyzracing5526]

Yamaha riders mad😂😂😂 Suzuki nation, we behind you Chris!!!

[@phosion]

I don't have a Yamaha but i thought that they were more of a road-course bike.

[@delascott964]

Can you do the same topic video but with the ZX14 /Busa?

[@brandonthompson5004]

Doesn't have to, Suzuki wins, only way kawi was able to beat the busa was by giving it more cc's

[@raceaddict3212]

I own both and i fully agree with everything you said from a non biased standpoint.. stock motor to headwork the zx10 will rule in roll racing or landspeed where trapspeed matters instead of e.t. But for full builds beyond headwork you cant beat Suzuki.

[@W5rr2nG]

Kawai are like Mopar. Great horsepower from the factory but sensitive engines. Suzuki are the small block Chevy of motorcycles. Bullet proof engines and respond well to mods.

[@smvsounds]

It’s the truth Suzuki is a better built bike for drag racing!

[@karlknudson9249]

,kawasaki has bad frame design were the swing arm bolts to the frame the pivot bolt is all the way towards the front of the bike if anything it should be on the back side so it has some strength its ass backwards just like they put the c clip holding the trans shaft i guess it would be in[ut clutch is on the other end and rod goes threw the middle of shaft the c clip holding shaft is all the way towards the clutch basket if you put somee healthy clutch springs in it they will break the casr of the enging and shaft floats on a z1 or kz 1000 series kawasaki must be trying to get back at us for fat man and little boy im thinking

[@parthasarathy5450]

Suzuki has bigger clutch hub thats the prime reason for drag

[@muhammadsteinberg]

THE TRUTH? Based on what? McBride 900cc based kawasaki was topdog forever. Yamaha's are killing in motogp. I'm a devote Suzuki/Kawai lover myself but let's be honest. Harley vrods owned the track for a long time. Track wins are really driven by engineers putting in the effort to design parts and make them available. Heavy market, fast bike. That's ever evolving. A statement like that is like the argument of who's the best guitarist of all time...lol Btw...Hendrix is the best guitarist of all time...lol

[@smvsounds]

@@muhammadsteinberg I’ve owned both in street set ups and race set ups! Both are great in there own way. The HD Vrod took advantage of the rules that was always in place for the v-twins to go fast and the money of Harley helped !

[@muhammadsteinberg]

@@smvsounds Exactly my point. Don't get me wrong I absolutely love suzuki. I actually put my Kz1000A on the shelf when I bought the then new to America 1986 gsxr1100. Aftermarket parts is what really drives track performance (rider skills being equal). Suzuki did blow the doors wide open with the gsxr series in 86. They hands down get the credit...Sport bikes drastically changed after that.

[@c22tch]

As a Kawi fan and 18 10R owner, I can accept this. For the average rider with limited funds the cost, performance and reliability ratio swings in Suzuki favor. But with enough money anything is possible ( thinking of Stotz racing success with Honda ). I would like to see more development for Kawasaki and the new 1K's to bring some different mfgs out to the strip tho.

[@muhammadsteinberg]

Chris makes it very clear that it's his opinion. If you're a privateer and practice you'll be successful. Paper hp chasers can get their feelings hurt when a good rider with 150hp beats them. PRACTICE!!!

[@Indio7]

Your speaking nothing but the truth Chris , I’m a 20 plus year drag racer started on Kaws after a couple years running them at the track. I saw the light and switched to Suzuki was the better choice for a street based no bar bike on the track. Great vids man keep up the good work, SUZUKI NATION RULES!!

[@Motoman313]

I’ve had a lot of bikes and my 5th gen zx10 is very hard to ride at the drag strip, I was faster on my bmw butttt the zx10 is a beast for a roll and hard to beat. !

[@TeamMooreMafia]

Very true.... Roll on... Kawi rules!

[@omieboriboun9862]

The aftermarket determines the bikes potential. 6mm billet cranks or even 4mm have been around since 2001 for the GSXR 1000. Just look at the drag/classes. Way cheaper to build a Suzuki than Kawasaki too. Always has been this way for big bore strokers Busa and GSXR.

[@Hayabusa-or2yo]

Good Vid Chris. Can you compare the Busa to the Zx14.

Peak numbers look really good on paper and thats about it. Do you happen to have a 190ish hp pull from a gsxr saved? Would be interesting to see an overlay of 2 similar peak pulls to compare the curves. Also, yes there might be some opinion in this, but a lot of experience as well. Another great video

[@scottmoody5685]

Hey M.Mafia, I can only agree with ya.Both bikes are monster's and both have their place. Brock did a video "the devils in the details!" In this case the engineering!!!! Cool site man!

[@biketron]

Moore Mafia....Something to say about Honda. Keep in mind that Frankie Stotz ran a 6.46 on a CBR 1000. You are correct that Suzuki is the dominant bike at the track but Honda can perform. Wish there was a larger variety of bikes but Suzuki is the king. I can't deny it.

[@disturbedgsxr]

There is a reason everything you see at the racetrack is SUZUKI!!!! Hahahahaha hell yah Chris your a badass man! SUZUKI POWER

[@HalferLandPerformance]

My 06’ ZX10 made 175/85 with basic bolt on (Yoshi Header to open dump, PCIII, light stretch, Galfer Rotors all around, ZX-14 Calipers which break amazing!, nothing special. It’s beat quite a bit of newer 12’+ bikes but I account that to me actually knowing how to ride and shift properly. In It’s year range it usually dominates bikes with similar mods and year range 👍🏻 Love the bike and have it setup exactly as I like it, not sure I’ll sell it or not.

[@bacchusthompson5834]

Could you go into why the K5 - K8 are the choice of bike (GSX-R) to build and the advantages of the K3 & K4 bottom ends compared to the L's and newer bottom ends...

[@jasonborrero3909]

I would actually really like to hear what Chris has to say about this topic.

[@omieboriboun9862]

K8 has 64 bit ecu, 2mm bigger valves and bigger header. Also 8 injectors. It has the best flowing head. K3 has the best clutch. K1 has the thickest cases. All Chris's bikes are 07/08 for a reason, those are the best years to build. K5/K6 are the lightest but has a frame cracking issue from factory. 1mm smaller valves than K7/K8. K7 were heavier due to dual exhaust stock, remove those and its closer to K5/K6. Hope this helps, common knowledge from a K1 owner from the beginning. There are shops that have been building 1143cc all motor big bore strokers since 2001, 200+whp 105tq on pump gas and no over heating in traffic. That was big street power in '01. Suzuki has been King of Power since its introduction in 2001.

[@jamesaquino9341]

I dont drag my ZX10R it is strictly a twisties machine. It does great and I love it. I respect your opinions Chris so no harm or foul always great information especially the differences in engine configuration. When building a purpose built machine those differences in valve trains and clutch mechanisms are super important! Great video!

[@rarebreed6933]

I definitely agree with you, what I'd like to hear is your opinion on hayabusa vs ZX14! I'm a Suzuki fan all day but the 14's have made some crazy numbers and put down good times as well. I'm upset that Suzuki is discontinuing the Busa but hopefully they have something up their sleeves

[@damiendicks7999]

Firstly, my eardrums are loving the new intro Chris. Really curious to hear your take on the S1000RR. I have a 2015 but have no intention of modifying it to this level, and in my part of the world access and cost is more of a problem. But I do love watching the pros do it. Excellent vid. Excellent content. Keep doing it. And by the way, while I'm commenting, yes, feel free to chuck in some car stuff and anything else you enjoy doing.

[@oldschool6268]

Every since the GS1100/1150 Suzuki has built a better bike ! The 1000 are ok ! But the hayabusa is a chevy big block 3 piece design. Head, cylinder, and base, turbo, pistons, stroke it etc easy to work on. And I ride a new ZX14R, but have had them all. And Yamaha and Honda what ? LOL

[@ripped10r]

Gsxr= Chevy Zx10r= Ford R&d and aftermarket support plays a huge part in any build. Both can be made to go quick and fast. One will cost $1000 to do while the other will take $4000(example). Kawasaki dominates in road racing Suzuki dominates on the dragstrip. Great video

[@kvngcamm2539]

Chevy all day just like Gsxr

[@omieboriboun9862]

Camshafts for Suzuki's are like 200$ each, a pair of weld ups are 1000$ pair, 1350$ if you want a billet camshaft set for ZX14. Even the labour to work on these bikes cost more for Kawasaki just because of how they engineered the bike. Monocoque frame with build in air box and single block engine case compared to Busa's separate block is even cheaper to ship. It takes $$$ to make a Kawasaki fast, but it can be done. Join the masses or pay $$$ to be different...

[@skotsephrenia1]

thanks for that comprehensive explanation Chris.... much appreciated... though am not a drag racer but a simple road bike enthusiast... it does makes a lot of sense and that's from you...more power..

I imagine a 2017+ GSX-R would pull better from down low due to the variable timing gear and that would help out with all the grip you have at the track.

[@1tuffzx10]

Nuttin but love 4 you Chris but Kawasaki has a big aftermarket support system. I've seen plenty of Kawasaki's go just as fast. Now I expect you 2 pick Suzuki because you rep them 2 the fullest, no hate on my end. We've discussed this on the phone & we kno you can make a Kawasaki just as fast wit the right parts & support.

The dragbike scene caters to suzuki. That is the reason people go with them. The industry makes more high performance things for Suzuki. If the industry made parts to hold for the Kawasaki, you would see a lot more kawasaki grudge bikes. Im a kawasaki man myself but they did screw up on the zx14r chassis set up. It is a freaking nightmare to work on vs the busa. You simply remove the fuel tank and you're down in the engine.

As a kawi fan I think the zx10r is the fastest bike out the box, so it’s the fastest bike from a roll. Everything else the gsxr is superior in terms of the drag strip. Better gear box better clutch wayyyyy bigger aftermarket for parts relating to the drag strip. I rather own a gsxr for a grudge bike. But I rather have a zx10r for roll racing! Also for power I think the zx10r should be set to rev to 14.5k . 14k is too low maybe one of the reasons it’s not making 200whp but at the end of the day dyno numbers means nothing.
