Kawasaki Versys 1000 track review with Pirelli Angel GTIIs | Cadwell Park vlog

[@chr11sf]

Sound advice regarding trackdays John....remember when trackdays were like that back in the 90s, eh?!! ....folk rode there and back and without a tyre warmer in sight lol

[@hanszimmer4679]

I love my Versys 1000! I am having a few vid´s up by now - in case you´re interested :o)

[@jeffruebens8355]

FortNine gives the Pirelli Angel GTII tires a high rating in his video- he says they should wear evenly, better than some other brands. I switched from Michelin Pilot Road 3s to these Pirellis- they are good so far, for my street riding at legal speeds.

I had the original Angel GTs on my own MT-10 as well; they're excellent. If sport touring tyres are good enough for the track instructors at California Superbike School and Ron Haslam Race School, they're more than good enough for me! John

gt 2 are great just dont last long but give a lot of confidence

[@brentfrank7012]

These tires appear to have been removed from the Pirelli line up in summer 2023. WTF?

[@allenglishknives6823]

Excellent real world advice 👍🏻

[@steve-wu7jp]

Nice preview! Let's get an owners review of your mt10👍

[@maikoui]

wahts wobbling more, the Versys 1000 or the Superduke GT?

[@Mark........]

Gt2's have a more sporty feel than the original Gt's found they turn in better only had them a short while so not sure about mileage yet but i definitely prefer the Gt2's

[@hendrxx_]

Any comment on the mileage since it’s been 10 months? My q3+’s lasted 4000 and just bought the gt2s waiting for them to come in.

[@SnerASDF]

i have done 5 sets of gt2 never got over 4000km and there where at least 500km of highway on every set when not more. but others do 8000 with them. i think u cant easy destroy them on a good day on track.. in traffic and public roads im sure i could get them down in 2000km but 4000 is realisticly when u like to break hard and do fast acelaration

[@jerzygroclinek5066]

Great movie. Have you experienced the Versys 1000 straightening up a lot when braking in a corner (more than other bikes)? I heard that when you increase the front brakes in the corner (for example when You arrive hot in the corner) Versys 1000 REALLY wants to stand up. Is it true ? Was it annoying? Does it prevent trial breaking in corners ? I consider Versys 1000 and it worries me

[@MARK1000RIDER]

Wanted to see how they hold up over the cadwell jump. Lol

[@Banditmanuk]

Been riding nearly 40 years and still not done a track day 🙁 Do fancy having a go but the thought of binning the bike or getting took out by someone else's accident had always put me off.

[@Banditmanuk]

@1066Rider Yep I guess that would work depending on cost 👍👍

[@Kevin-vg5uw]

Just ride at what ever pace you are happy with no one will treat you badly even if your the slowest one there in fact you will get a ton of support, track days are great fun, go do your own thing at your own pace and you will be surprised how much fun you will have and most likely make a few friends along the way

[@Banditmanuk]

@@Kevin-vg5uw Great advice👍

[@DrRyman]

Went to get a new pair and guess what? Not available in 18”” any more, had To take my ST1300 To Michelin 4GT A’s. I like them so far Still breaking them in…

[@aeror115]

I really like this machine! But I think it’s a bit too much for me! Great video do you now anything about a new 2020 650 Versys? Have a great week 🙌

[@TheErcaciotta]

what about shimming at high speed? My SE is very unstable upto 200 kmh (alone with topcase on)

[@bennettsbikesocial]

No real problem, though the bars can be quite sensitive at high speeds, especially with luggage. Cheers, John

[@Kevin-vg5uw]

I'm not sure if it's your cameras or something done in post editing but your on-board stuff is very grainy looking, it just doesn't look right, can't put my finger on it but it just looks lower quality especially when you transition from talking into the camera then a on-board moving section. Just wondering why it's like this

[@Tugyankreel]

Awesome video

[@OperationFoxley19441]

I'm a biker myself...…………..but @6:37 cracked me up LOL

[@Kevin-vg5uw]

Someone going down is funny to you? Should keep shit like that to yourself

[@markjohnson8352]

👍

[@everss02]

Idk, I would never run street pressure on a track, at least drop 3-4 psi

[@Nick-dz4ml]

You'd have to ride quite hard to get some heat in them aswell, so does it matter that much?.. My tire guy said no
