How Kawasaki Ninja Became the Fastest Motorcycle and Took Down Harley Davidson | Up to Speed

if you could race Thomas Cruz on any motorcycle, would your dad finally pay attention to you?

2006 zx10r but still i love my ride everyday 😅

... fastest jet is wrong... at the time .... and a I still belive it might be the fastest to this day... but take a look into it ... true story...
Fastest plan ay that time was the avro arrow.... legit was the fastest plane ... USA was so concerned..... they made canada destroy all records and prototypes.... and then of course stile the data (not proven ad far as I know )
But yam.. great movie
... 3 series on VHS back in the day.. ... well worth the watch

Speed is forever. Yo that shit fire 🔥

I have owned both most of my life. The Kawasaki Ninja ( 750 and up ) and three out of four generations of T/As. The H2 Is my dream bike. Good video.👍

Lol car parts that c**.😂

This video single handedly re-sparked my interest in motorcycles and I know own a motorcycle. Thank you donut

love my 500r

Two wheeled freedom machine is now what I call motorcycles

thats why i fuck with you yes!!!!!
im dead

You missed a model between the GPZ900R and ZX-10 there is a little bike called GPZ1000RX, I owned it for about 6 years and in all black it looked so fricking cool.

Top Gun Maverick didn't do it. The H2 was there though.

ninja🤣🤣

They beat Harley by producing a motorcycle able to ride down the road for more than a few hundred miles without needing a tuneup

sick r32

Our parents had Tom Cruise and we had Valentino Rossi 🏍🏍🏍

Jerry’s a fucking stud bro.

“Like dude; like great voices dude”!

How about zxr750h , "vacuum cleaner " due to inlets to the airbox. Pointing to this cool superbike , coz its my fav Kawasaki :) 🔥

i call this otoko no romance (manly romance), such an atmospheric video, liked it.

109 MPH is slow once you get use to it. Probably fast for back then, which is crazy to think about when you know today's bikes go over 200MPH

Super step dad

I'd be Pumphey's siamese twin anyday.

I mean... what?

This was an AMAZING video guys. Had enough jokes for 5 great vids hahaha😂 broombromm

Wtf they mean took out Harley? 10 months later & im still looking for an answer

My coolest brother out of 12 lol he drag raced ninjas he made sure I never bought a bike when I got older bc he wrecked and broke so many bones. When I was in diapers he would pull 3 mile long wheelies with me on the gas tank lol

Harley Davidson motorbikes with ancient technology clearly won't be able to fight Kawasaki

Neenjaa 😂

Ninja? As...as in the appliance company?

Holy crap

kawasaki may have taken the throne but they still fail to take down the legendary yamaha R6 in the 600cc class

😂😂its a jerry springer show, but about motorcycles

Goose, and The Toecutter, and his gang rampaging through the restricted area badlands in the dystopian future of Mad Max on KZ1000s...is what did it for me.

AWD of course it won

I dont like it when car content people talk about motorcycles

Harley Davidson , pls i acn outrun HD 😂😂

The hayabusa is also named for the Japanese peregrine falcon, which eats blackbirds.

An ad w james in it before a donit video

As a Navy vet, i can confirm that everyone being sweaty is the most realistic element of Top Gun.

Bravo bravo, bravo, this is a fascinating video. Bro, I'm teen Kawasaki all millennia. And seeing this. Put a huge smile on my face. I own a ZX-9R, by the way.

In the mid-eighties my mothers husband bought a motorcycle, very possibly under the influence of Top Gun. It was a Yamaha of some variety and he sold it after two weeks, said it "Unlocked his crazy."

Donut please do an episode of up to speed to HONDA STEED/SHADOW motorcycle models please... Thank you so much!!!

I have been a Kawasaki fan since the release of the first Hayabusa. Dude I have loved motorcycles my whole fucking life. I just wish Kawasaki would give me one 😂

usually im sitting here watching james' videos for entertainment, but when he said 'but speed.. speed is forever' I got chills. so f'n true.

My old man circa 1974 rode his bike through the halls of his high school as a senior prank. 😂
