What Should You Buy? Honest Review of a 2023 Yamaha R1, 2023 Kawasaki ZX-10R KRT and 2023 Yamaha R1M

[@STEASE]

Cruise control alone is the major selling point when it comes to the ZX-10R.

[@CK_RIDES]

It's sooooooooo relaxing when you're traveling long distance. I practically fell asleep leaning on the tank..

[@jellalshadow2318]

That’s why I’d the Zx-10R

[@2Wheeligniter]

I 100% agree and lets not forget zx10r is the best looking superbike …

[@opadilla123]

Best thing kawasaki did was put cruise control i love mine and that’s what made be buy 1

[@UnseenSpirit]

I remember having a sort of cruise control on my Ninja 636 B1H if memory serves me right. That bike was 2003

[@Jinx19766]

Just purchased today a 2023 ZX10R KRT. Its only been home for 3 hours. I went back and forth forever on the R1 vs ZX10R. Thanks for this video. Really helped me out.

[@CK_RIDES]

Jester....CONGRATS brother. You're going to love it.

[@peterjordansonthe2nd731]

From everything I've researched you have to be a midget to be comfortable on an R1

[@Reesemattew05]

ive been watching so many bike reviews recently, on zx-10r and r1, and i can say with full confidence this was the absolute best one ive seen, answered so many questions and covered so many important things. definitely earned a sub

[@CK_RIDES]

Thanks Brother. I try.

[@unlimitedcosmicspeed]

I have always been an R1 guy but now seeing them together and hearing the pros and cons, I would most probably pick the ZX10R now. Really good looking bike. Color scheme is cool too.

[@treed859]

I was so torn between a ZX6R and a ZX10R as a upgrade. still unsure but the 10R is more favorable in my personal opinion after this video. Coming from a Ninja 650

[@IamLaR1]

As far as the Reg R1, it has a steering dampener, so dont worry about that. Also, the stock suspension on the Reg R1 is actually really good, if you weight 200lbs or less (I went Olhins shock just cuz I weight 230, however I cant out ride the forks yet on the track). They are very easily adjustable to soften your ride on long trips, but that is done manually verses electronically on the M. In fact, the electronic suspension on the M was the reason I chose NOT to get the M. If you track your bike a lot, you generally wont want electronic suspension. Also, some say the R1 has brake fade on the track and it can happen. The fix is swapping to race pads and you are good. Finally the R1 does have a dead spot between 4000 RPM and about 5800ish RPM, but it has nothing to do with gearing. It is a mapping issues and some flashes dont get rid of it. I do my own flashing with FTECU (Flash Tune) and my bike has no dead spot what so ever.

[@CK_RIDES]

That’s awesome info. Thank you for sharing. ❤️

[@MuttzbikeRR]

Can i ask you something? I'm planning on trading my Aprilia rsv4 to R1 23", i installed ohlins ttx gp rearshock on the RSV4, can i install it on the R1? I hear it's compatible but needs to change the lower mount base, is that correct?

[@shauns5278]

Almost every bike is sadly going to have that dead spot now the ZX has it as well. It's for Euro emissions and noise regulations. They test the bikes at both idle and 5,500 RPM not sure on the emissions end but know a bike can't exceed 92db during that test.

[@edgarv.611]

Why if you track your bike a lot you will not want electronic suspension?

[@h2oFun]

Iam, you are correct the R1 has a dampener from factory. You can see it if you look. It is just not on top of the triple tree like the Kawi.

[@punkr6]

I went from a r6 to a r1 to a zx10 and now on the zx6r 636 . Gotta say I prefer the Kawasaki’s easily over Yamaha .

It's one my most favorite bikes I've owned.

[@RealSykes]

I'm a little over a year in on owning a '23 Black CB650R. Absolutely lovely bike and great for riding around the city, little trips to the gym or whatever. But I'm dying for more power. Clocked about 30,000 KM in the last year and saving up for a ZX10R by March/April 2025. Went to the dealership and looked at a '24 Gray/Green and instantly fell in love. The bike is simply the best value when comparing it to an R1 & GSXR1000. I will admit that I found the GSXR to be way more comfortable but I'm not spending over a grand more for a bike with less features. I will be keeping my CB650R since the insurance on it is around $600 a year and ZX10 be my baby when I want to take trips, do track days and just fuck around on weekends.

If it takes more effort considering the difference in geometry and weight, and how well the zx holds a line compared to the R1.

[@CK_RIDES]

Both mine make over 200WHP to the wheel. My ZX-10R makes 192WHP. The R1 is a great street and track bike. I'm not racing MotoGP...I love my R1's and will never be able to fully squeeze out that much power in the street. Both are great bikes.

[@SuperAdventureR1301]

Anyone that complains about the power of certain liter bikes is absolutely delusional, thinking they're going to use that much power. No one but genuine world super bike racers is actually going to make use of that much power. 190hp vs 200hp literally makes no difference, you'll only see it on a spreadsheet and that's it. It's like comparing a 13 inch penis to a 12 inch penis, neither of them will use all of it. I've seen guys brag about their Ducatis or GSXR's, then go out onto the track and get overtaken in corners by literal KTM Supermoto's and 300cc sport bikes. I keep up with all the liter bikes on the straight at my local track with my SUPERDUKE, a Naked bike with only 160WHP. The difference between an R1 or ZX10-r is absolutely negligible in terms of power.

200 Hp at rear wheel with a Flash On a Dyno , I have watched many Times a Bike shop put 2 Race prepared R1 make a lot less than that, and his bike Won the CHAMPIONSHIP last year , if Your talking a Good aftermarket exhaust With a map , 200 rideable Hp I cannot see it From a R1 , in this Championship They have To run Standard Electronics and not allowed Any Head work , still one very Quick bike as Been said it the Rider

[@MauriceAsfour]

I saw this video and you talked about how it’s very hard to use the quick shifter on it and you said that you IRON It, so I dint get what you ment , but you did say that you made a video on how you made it to work better so can you please let me know how I can get to see that video it will really be appreciated!!!! TKS. And by the way I liked the way you present your videos👍

Hey! Any opinions on the r1m vs a Panigale v4 / V4s? Thanks!

[@CK_RIDES]

I’m going to make a video for you. Deal?

[@GLIDERR]

@@CK_RIDES sounds good!

[@MT10Lee]

Im new to your channel and this is the first video ive watched. Just what i wanted as im thinking of pulling the trigger on the ZX10r but always liked the R1M.. What a review 😊... New subscriber 👍🇬🇧

[@CK_RIDES]

I'm so glad it helped a bit. Thank you so much too for the support. I sincerely appreciate it.

[@gw4717]

If you get a zx10r get a 2020 you will love it way better than the new one all my friends went for the new one and I stayed with the 2020 zx10r and they all regret getting the new one when I blow by them lol 😆

[@jeremiascanchica]

I prefered the R1 M over the other 2 bikes... R1M sound is brutal... Cool video mi pana... !!! 🤙🤙🤙

[@CK_RIDES]

I agree 1000%. I love my R1M.

[@jeremiascanchica]

@@CK_RIDES I have an Aprilia Rsv4 and it sounds pretty hard.... I like the sound of V4 engines and Crossplane... they are similar to MotoGP sound... I have a youtube's shorts when show it the sound of my Aprilia..... 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙 👊👊 bro....!!!

[@CK_RIDES]

@@jeremiascanchica LOVE the RSV4 sound.

Also, your HDR resolution makes your videos look beautiful

Late to the party here…looking at these 3 bike right now…mostly for street riding…I’m 6’3 which one would be the best way to go? Plan on test riding all 3, still like to hear your thoughts…appreciate it!

[@CK_RIDES]

Hands down ZX-10R for your height.

[@joeyschmidt7546]

200 horsepower and 83 torque stock isnt fast enough without a flash ? lol im looking to get a liter bike not sure which brand to get i like all the japan bikes and bmw

[@CK_RIDES]

Thee flash is more for Fuel Mapping. Bikes come to the states sooooo lean so they can pass emissions. the flash richens up the bike.

[@joeyschmidt7546]

@@CK_RIDES my cbr650f has a two brothers full exhaust system on it, i wonder if it was ever flashed? i dont believe it was but am wondering if it would even be worth flashing? i want to get a slightly used bmws1000rr or cbr and i also like the zx10r. but some of these naked bikes look like they are nice as well. im conflicted what i want next. the 650 on the streets is still fast as hell no matter what some may say lol

[@megatron7811]

Please make a video on the quick shifter, how u fixed it.

[@CK_RIDES]

That was a process of trial and error. And I will. Stay tuned. 🤓

[@coltonshaffer5654]

Question for you ck I’ve been on 2 wheels my whole life racing dirtbikes have rode 600s and baggers I’ve been on the fence over getting zx6r or the zx10r. Disciplined and plan on taking it slow and learning the bike. Lot of windy roads here in wv don’t want to get the 636 and be disappointed. Appreciate some feed back!

[@CK_RIDES]

If you’ve been riding for a while, don’t be afraid of a ZX 10 R you can handle it

[@coltonshaffer5654]

@@CK_RIDES I’ve only rode a couple of my buddy’s 600s and have owned a street glide but already have the basics of riding from racing dirtbikes at a high level I want the zx10r but don’t wanna make the wrong decision with the 1000 only being around 25 pounds heavier is the 1k just as enjoyable on the twisty roads

​@MT10-Nick how does it suck when it offers all bells and whistles and have improved power delivery over the previous versions... And looks are subjective, so your point is invalid
