Really like this version of video it has it charm
That 800cc ZX is so pretty.
Great video history of Kawasaki Moto GP I can only imagine if they would have stayed with their program the ZX10RR world have been getting technology just like Ducati and Yamaha are doing with their WSBK bikes and Rea would have a weapon to fight with hopefully Kawasaki get their act together
Loving these, keep'em up!
A shame Kawasaki pulled out of GP racing.. It’s always a better spectacle when all the main manufacturers are there. Kawasaki need to put more effort into their WSBK team too. Losing JR isn’t great.. I just hope the WSBK team doesn’t slip away into obscurity..
I don't think the result is bad, considering so many 2nd finishes. Technically Kawasaki is so strong. It's more about consistency and operation.
Would you do the Suzuki GSV-R and GSX-RR? They deserved recognitions Oh, and maybe also 2-stroke GP500 racers?
Kawasaki Ninja zxr is the cleanest and greenest motorcycle ever made.
Great video. Keep making them please.
What a great content.. really appreciate 👌🏼✨️
I usually hate AI narrated videos. They're cheap, tacky and cringey but this video wasn't bad. Full of good, accurate information on one of the most iconic and unique motorcycles ever to grace the motogp grid.
I hope that Kawasaki will turn around this coming years and made a profit enough to make a MotoGP return.

Decided to research each of the Big 4’s value. Kawasaki’s value is the lowest of the four. I believe the order is Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha then Kawasaki. Honda having 5x the overall value of Suzuki, which has 3x the value of Yamaha and Kawasaki.

@@TheSteveSteele because Yamaha, Suzuki, Honda produced scooters or underbones while Kawasaki right now only produced Sport Bikes, and Dirtbikes.
Fantastic looking and interesting video of the ZX-RR, I've been finding it quite hard reasearching the various versions as they don't get the attention the others makes do - particularly the 'in-between' 2006 version (5th one along in the line) with that interesting more rounded 'Mouth sticking out it's bottom lip' fairing, From what I've managed to find out, 2006 first had a more 2005 (3rd along) like elipical mouth fairing, then was changed to the one pictured, then changed again to a more stretched out 'Chin out' 2007 (6th along) like fairing - to be honest i'm more into aesthetics and bodywork rather than valve shapes etc - love that picture of them all lined up at the end (although it seems '04 and '05 are the wrong way round in the line? and it's a shame you didn't incude a pic of the MKI and III 2006s). Please everyone also remember Kawasakis OTHER Factory Premier GP bike. the fabulous '80/'81'/82 (three versions) Square Four KR500, and also the many versions of the H1R 500 Triple before it.
Love this video
That bike should've dominated Moto gp. Best lookin an sounding Engine.
fun fact, kawasaki raced in earlier motogp, 70s seasons and won two races: 1971 spanish and 1975 isle of man gps.
I want to see GREEN color again at Moto GP.

Never going to happen unless Dorna begs Kawi to join and gives a boatload of concessions.
Awesome video!
But its nose, popular in motogp bike today
ปีกที่ควบคุมด้วยระบบสมองกลนี้สำคัญมากมักจะทำให้รถมีน้ำหนัก พอดีกับการควบคุมอยู่ตลอดเวลา
Now is ZX10RR wsbk 6th by Rea.
2008 model sounds like a plane and an F1 engine sound at the same time
My dad used to ride one, so sad that he traded it for a s1000rr
Good video. Always felt it was a shame Kawasaki pulled out, but look at the huge amounts of money being thrown into it when you were up against Honda and Yamaha. It was probably the right decision in the end, given WSBK success. But how good would it be to see them up top in MotoGP?
I hope you can automate this format and build a series of bike upgrades from all manufacturers and mods .
It takes a lot of R&D and wasted money to be competitive in GP racing.
Any news about the return of kawasaki

Sadly, no. Around 2020 Kawasaki requested MotoGP wildcard entry for the ZX-10RR but turned down by Dorna. And then around 2022, Kawasaki stated that they have no intention to making a return to motogp.

that is a potential
Can you please do ninja 650 vs cbr 500r
Imagine if all the riders in good condition and less crash
もう戻ってこないのかな~
They never had a great time in the premier class even in the 80s they struggled I guess they were like this is costing more than we wanna pay to win although I reckon they were getting closer it reminds me of Cagiva just when they got close they put up the white flag
so that model does not exist then cause model is beautiful as heck like wow

This, like all MotoGP bikes, is a prototype.
MotoGP does not go at full speed because less than 400km has to reduce gas to corner, so no one knows what its actual speed is. MotoGP has its own seamless gearbox ($500,000 many times more than H2R) accelerates better, without losing lag when shifting. Kawashaki didn't have the technological and financial capacity to enter the toughest arena on the planet, so they built this car. For example, BMW and Toyota cannot participate in F1 so they cannot produce competing supercars vs Bugatti, Posch, Lambo, Ferrari and Honda. Usually, every 4 laps of MotoGP racing overtakes H2R for 1 lap, then what else to race?
Next up suzuki gsxr-rr
atleast cheapest among the 4 japan brands
Replace it cfmoto 1000s-rr for the win, kawasaki is no longer for that competition may be retirement is good option for kawasaki and sell motorcycle that's all
I think hayate is good team but they only a season 😢
