Everything You Need To Know About The All-New 2023 Kawasaki Jet Ski Ultra 160!

[@StingRay1982]

This video needs to be on a new channel tfl marine

[@Zanderthelab]

Agreed

[@bbb4300]

Agreed 😊

[@USA__WILL]

No more channels please

[@fokuz02]

We have a pair of Kawasakis, 2023 Ultra 310X and 2023 (old body) STX 160. They are so much fun!

[@incasejstn]

I'd definitely watch videos of y'all reviewing PWC's and whatnot!

[@Silverback_GMT410]

I’m not at all into water sports, but great video! Never paid attention to jet skis but wow it’s a night and day difference between the old and new model. Pretty impressive.

[@billbecker7419]

Hey good show. Do a show on the seadoo GTI se 170 vr Gtx 170 . Biggest bang for your buck.

[@nofameculture]

Last year it was about 12k . Crazy price jump! And please yes more watercraft videos or new channel

[@Wavelover33]

I’ll take the stx160 with less to go wrong and less weight/more speed/agility. Nice boat though for a more sedentary ride

[@johnrossi6212]

Would love to see you guys review jet skis. Especially the stand ups

[@jameshoekzema3172]

Yes, more TFLboat

[@WW-wf8tu]

Yep, said it before, you 2 doing reviews on watercraft to pick up where Steve left off would be a good plan. Also said if anyone there had an interest in flying, there is an audience for that experience and the world of aircraft reviews. 🙂

[@TFLoffroad]

Thank you for the feedback!

[@CrochetNewsNetwork]

Excellent video guys. Question: I’m 65 years old and need the comfort of the Kawasaki deep "V” hull to go through a little chop on my lake . (My current sea doom-wake 155 2019 beats me up. -- would I be correct if I need to resell the Ultra Xl that I would stand a better chance with the 310 versus the 160? For me the $2 or $3k difference is not as important as if I dont like Kawasaki and need to go back to say a sea Doo 300 Gtx limited. My ONLY reservation with Kawasaki is will it allow me to float or go super slow without rocking me back and forth because of the deep v hull.

[@ckbhack]

What kind of tires should I get for mine? How much money did this ad cost?

[@davidmilhouscarter8198]

10:00 Isn’t there a pond at Tumbleweed?

[@ericsmith6677]

160 hp is still moving I think the base wave runner has 110 and the base sea doo gti is 130

[@yissibiiyte]

Does it have AWD though?

[@WayneDenny44]

Go Birds!

[@Jodywshelton]

Nice! id love to see features of this vs. Seadoo

[@gfire369]

seadoo is junk, cheap , unreliable and made in Mexico

[@timcumming3336]

Yes, more PWC reviews. All things Powersports

[@dmegahan]

Go Birds.

[@843MudMafia.]

Tfl need just a Powersports channel

[@mlow42]

Definitely tfl "off road"

[@sheeesh8978]

Last i checked jet skis aren’t on road vehicles

[@thomasrossi31]

What's the ground clearance?

[@TFLoffroad]

Infinite!

[@brandonfriesen5389]

I have a 2007 Kawasaki STX-15F. Rode a newer STX160, and there was no difference except for some very minor control aethetics and design, the seat and the hull graphics. Rode the same, has the same power and handling as well. Essentially the same ski. Would never buy a new one of those, and would just pony up for the supercharged 310.

[@edwardbowles8613]

I have a 15f and 160x and 160lx. Hands down everyone likes the 160s over the trusty 15f. (Over 600 hrs). Lighter throttle and better ergonomics. Then of course some jump to the sound on the lx.

[@Mr.WS6]

Bring back kawasaki x2 skis

[@Zanderthelab]

This needs to be on a separate channel. TFL marine or TFL water or something.

[@dmegahan]

I am ok with more pwc reviews. I know the manufacturers want you doing it. I just don’t know if TFL off road is the right place.

[@pajamatime5750]

Ummmm water is off road. Kinda makes sense no?

[@dmegahan]

@@pajamatime5750 technically yes but “off road” traditionally means vehicles that can traditionally ride on road that can go off road. You don’t say “I am going off roading” when you are getting read to ride your pwc

[@pajamatime5750]

@@dmegahan I get what you’re saying. I think TFL has enough channels they can get away with lumping PWCs in the off road category in my opinion.

[@Islandlazy99]

I see it’s a terrible time of the year for automotive enthusiasts.

[@davidmilhouscarter8198]

8:21 If we were on Titan, one of Saturn’s moons, we could ride this Jet Ski in a lake of liquid methane.

[@bbb4300]

Amazing 🎉🎉

[@USA__WILL]

Marine videos will get way more views than bikes

[@MrBobbyBrown2006]

Not the video I expected to see on TFL Off-Road, even though it's technically something that is Off-Road. Personally, not the type of video I subscribed for and I will be skipping watching this one because I have zero interest in Jet Ski's, but good for the TFL brand to be branching out and covering other things.

Yeah go back to doing watercraft reviews 👍🏻

Meh.

[@prod1192]

Nah

[@therealmitch-a-palooza7262]

No offense, but it doesn't seem like either of you know much of anything about personal watercraft. Was hoping for a more thoughtful analysis than just a rattling off of the press release. The fact about these Kawi PWC's is...the engine is a boat anchor compared to what other manufacturers are offering. Kawi has not only the heaviest PWC hull on the market with the Ultra, but also the lowest horsepower base engine. You might be tempted to just get the 310...but it's very fuel inefficient even compared to other supercharged skis like the SVHO. You will drain that 310's tank in the blink of an eye, making it completely unsuitable as a touring craft, whereas with the SVHO you can cruise while staying out of the boost and get damn near the fuel consumption of the naturally-aspirated HO. You don't buy a Kawi LX for a "family cruise", you buy it because it's supposed to be a luxury craft with the powertrain and equipment you'd expect to come along with being one of the most expensive ski lines on the market. What Kawi should have done here is offered a 200hp supercharged-"lite" version that has enough get up and go, but will still do much better on fuel than the 310, and be able to run off the 89 octane mid-grade you'd normally find at fuel docks.

[@edwardbowles8613]

Heaviest hull. You mean strongest and most durable. It is actually only slightly heavier. Yamaha is not gel coat finish and Yamaha went back to fiberglass this year in the high end models because of Nano cracks. Sea Doo and Yamaha post dry weight which is silly. Kawi lists curb weight. You know with those minor things like fuel, oil, battery and fire extinguisher. The engine is actually great and responsive and durable. Yes it would be nice if it was 180hp or more. But it is more than capable. I do think the prices are about $1000 too high but the market is allowing that right now.

[@CrochetNewsNetwork]

Yep sea doo a 230. Kawasaki need something like a 210 like you said. The 310 won’t tour and I’m not sure the 160 has enough power

[@edwardbowles8613]

The 160 is surprisingly playful and peppy. Referencing your other question about stability it feels very stable. I have been on it with total passengers around 380lbs and it felt fine. Plenty stable to me..surprised how nimble it does feel and how ready it is to roll into a turn

[@hege750]

Please, this kind of stuff should not be on this channel.

[@anengineer_]

In my opinion these vehicles are totally useless, they only bring noise into environment. These are toys for rich people...

[@Agenttaco-s17]

You won’t think they’re useless once you’re in the saddle, I’ve never had more fun than riding my friends supercharged wave runner.

[@mlow42]

Agreed. After you go straight for a while, then you turn to the right. The next thing is to turn left. Back straight again. Boring after a few minutes.
