Great video! I'm watching this because I'm always working, or the weather is terrible, so I can't ever seem to have the time to ride my own PWC, so I live vicariously through KZread videos.

Nice work explaining the dynamics. Im not opposed to getting a new or used SJ. I have the SXR 1500 and an old 550.. it’s hilarious switching back and forth because they are so different. SXR is so much fun on a slalom buoy course but 550 is my wave jumper.

Great video, love the perspective from 3 different riders. Wish these skis would race in the same class...need that manufacture battle like we had back in the day. Plus do we really need more classes ? So good to see another stand up ski made, 2021 should be a good year for PWC.

Watched a bunch of videos and I rather get an SXR before a superjet. I love the Yami's look though and would get one after an sx

The SXR 800 was exactly that

If you already owned a modified two stroke Superjet and want more speed for rough water, would you buy the SXR or '21 Superjet? I'll be keeping the Superjet.

I had an sxr800 10 years ago. i'm planning on maybe get back to jetskis and try the 1500. even tho my 800 was not as good as a superjet for freestyle, i could do enough to have fun, and power was perfect for me. What i'm wondering is if you can submarine a 1500 like i could with my 800. Wether it was by bunny hop or jumping a big wake, because that was the thing i liked the most, jump a good wake, wide open then push the front end and dive in the water, damn that was fun!

Great vid!! I've always been about Yamahas , I couldn't wait anymore and bought an SXR two weeks before the superjet came out. Ha I love this sxr so much I have no regrets.. and I wiped on it in 15minuts and broke 4 ribs.. haha

Never had a stand up skis but had both Kawasaki and Yamaha sit downs and the Yamaha is the least stable even my 1997 stx 900 was more stable than a 2021 Yamaha EX

I have a old 550 and I love it, but unlike other 550 owners I'm not a mechanic. I need a ski i can gas and go and pay to get fixed if I need to. Where I live no mechanic will touch my machine. I think I want the new superjet, I'm just worried it won't be much fun. I d love to see a review on the new superjet that isn't race focused, more on tricks and fooling around, novice style.

Tell Chris Hagest, Perry Wright from Texas said Hi. Fun times in the old school days.

Want to rip through the buoys, buy an SXR. Want to freeride, buy a superjet. That's how it's always been.

We have lots of cool stuff for 550s too.

Do the same comparison after all the mods! But honestly they aren’t made to be compared. If they were I think we would have seen a bigger motor and bigger hull. Yamaha went for something a little more playful and lighter and that’s why there is a full different “4 stroke lites” class.

So the super jet would be better for surf riding on the jersey shore?

At least better than the 1500.

isn't the Kawi 4four stroke as well?

I love my sxr but In a few years I’ll buy a ragged 4 stroke super jet to build

Basically in a nutshell the new Yamaha SJ falls short. Congratulations Yamaha you had a perfect chance at giving Kawasaki a black eye and you failed.... I'm not partial to either brand as I happily own both brands.To sum it up they'll have to make a class for the superjet, how disappointing. Reminds me of the Blaster/HX days but thankfully I was an HX owner. As far as freestyle, I'll stay on the much smaller and lighter SJ or spend the 10k on a Krash Ind. ski...

Rad! Make sure you get some PWR rear sponsons ;)

Gotta go with the Kawasaki, they started it all!

The SJ is almost there

How about the nose weight. I have three seasons on an SX-R. Top speed is incredible, power too, however being "old" and having seasons on a 300, 550, 650, and a few rides on a 750... the SX-R feels larger. It doesn't turn as easy, thus the comments on "man handling". I have been able to run courses and find it as capable. Jumping is amazing and I've been high in the air. However, I know the SX-R is nose heavy with the gas tank up front. How does the Yamaha feel with jumping, and weight distribution? How about freestyle? Kawasaki is too buoyant for some old tricks. Next, tail spin. SX-R sticks to the water so long as I have my inside foot at the back. It will not let go. Wonder and assume the Yamaha has the same feeling. Thanks for a great video.

Our biggest plus with the SuperJet has been its size in comparison to the SXR. The SXR has its moments but the SuperJet is a lot easier to maneuver for goofing around and freeriding, tail spins, stands and jumps are much easier. Now when it comes to "freestyle" they both might be too heavy -- maybe we need to do some proper tricks to see!

Chris, how would you compare the smoothness of the throttle between the Superjet and a stock 2-stroke SXR800. I find the SXR800 to not be pipey at all for beginners. What about slow speed stability between the two also. Thx

@ProwatercraftCOM

3 жыл бұрын

In stock form, the new SuperJet actually feels quite a bit slower than the 800 SXR. A few motor mods and that should perk it up a little. Stability is close to the same between this ski and the SXR 800. This ski air draws quite a bit, so it doesn't want to turn as well as the SXR 800 -- but we're on it! Cool mods on the way.

@@ProwatercraftCOM LOL so an 800 SXR that could be OVER 10 years old handles better, and has a stronger engine than the new Superjet. Love it. Great! When can we get a company that is okay with making a FUN standup that is also fun on the course? You're telling me Yamaha, Kawasaki, or SeaDoo cant make a "fun AND competitive" standup? (I do know SeaDoo never made a standup but definitely could, just chose no to) I call BULL! Probably just not enough buyers in this market segment? IDK but am I the only one getting sick of paying an arm and a leg for 550 650/750 skis and parts that are 25 or 30 years old at this point. Is there anyone in the industry that is concerned about us, or probably not really? Wish there was because I'd feel a lot more comfortable spending 8-12k on a ski that doesn't just PLOW through the water. I know you guys don't make these skis but man I'm frustrated with what is actually available for this segment of standup riders.

Long shot: can I have a jet ski???

When to a Yamaha dealership last week .I asked if thay had a super jet I could look at he said no. I asked ware I could see one .He said I wouldn't try to get one thay sale 500 a year per state or something like that I think it was less then that .I just left and side guess I have to by a kawasaki.And get this he yes you do. IF YOU NWOW OF THIS PLEASE LET US ALL NO. It just easier to by green it seems.
