At 57 I bought a ZX10r last Nov 23 I still have a smile on my face. The bike is everything you mentioned plus more. It’s the way it makes you feel when riding it. Yes extreme riding position but it’s my Sunday fun bike and I don’t intend to go touring.

For the fuel gauge... all you do is when you top up the tank to full, reset the counter and you'll be able to tell roughly when you need to fill it back up.

You could have popped in at The Red Lion for a drink. Used to love taking my bike there ( great river views).

I picked one up Saturday and man it’s a monster!

I’m definitely never gonna trade in!

Test rode 1 last month, ended up ordering the 636

Been undecided on a new bike for months, I've always been a Kawi guy and was highly considering a few others instead of the ZX-10R, but you sold me.

love the review, just picked up a 2016 ZX-10R because it was one of the most affordable ones available at my local deal (scary right?) so im going to test ride it and hope its alright for me.

I am 60 and just part exed my Blade for one of these! Happy Days!

[Peter-Alexander]

Awsome bike....comparing to let's say an old fireblade....can it compare torque wise (low and midrange rev)? Thanks for the review.

[anthonycross]

Nice review thanks
Would have liked to see how the quick shifter performed tho
I’m considering getting one later in the year

[tonylyons]

You can get the fuel gauge put in a friend of mine had someone add the fuel gauge to one of these (new one)

[RikiSea]

I bet it’s fun riding😂😂😂

GREAT Review!!! Do you know how comfortable it is compared to a BMW S1000RR? vs. the ZX10r? I think the S1000rr is very comfortable to ride. I’m choosing 😮😊

The fact it doesnt come alive till 6k revs, quite literally means to me you could daily this bike with no issues whatsoever.

I had 2017 ZX-10R (WHich was my first liter bike) and I had riden ZX-6Rs and a R6 for about 15 years before, that one was a nice bike to go to. Have a Speed Triple RR now, good bike, I miss my ZX-10R.
YOu need to launch at about 8000-9000 RPMs for quick launch, but I believe this bike will do 0-60 mph in under 3 secs. Having riden so many 600cc bikes before my 1000cc, I learned to chase the high RPMs, and you learn to shift in order to keep it so. I do feel it has enough power (at least my 2017 did) to ride well in streets, and then you rev it up to get the RPMs in the power band, and you shot like a rocket. THing with this bike, I hear its restricted (at least US models are) after 12000 RPMs, and would need ECU flash to fix that. It is quick though. It si Pretty. GSX-R1000 is probably best supersport for street. Firefblade I borrowed one that my buddy has and the 2021 model was too cramped for me (I'm 6 feet tall), but the 2021 ZX-10 was fine for me. R1M was a great bike too for streets, but didn't like to be riden at street speeds. It wanted to be let loose!. NOt much experience with BMWs. but with Akro exhaust, these Kawis are beautiful to hear!
But if you want a road biek, get a naked ro cruiser. I won't recomend to get one... But I'd get one myself!

[tonyguilliams]

I love this bike but Kawi needs to do a Green, purple and white paint scheme!

[GazBromley]

Brilliant bike, very underrated compared to the R1, the Gixxer 1000 RIP...etc. Its a great machine. BTW the price of the blade is silly....and the Panagale is to expensive and both look bland compared to the Kawi...yes i said it, a Panagale looks dull, nice shape, but all over red again....yawn.

[gerekoitv]

OH! MY GOODNESS!
WOW!
I LOVE IT...!!❤

[nicholasjarrold]

Very nice bike I do like the kawasakis but £18000 for a very uncomfortable ride at my age and problems I’m past that now but if I was in my early 20’s definitely a bike I’d be looking at as well as the r1 take care
