Bajaj Pulsar NS200 vs Harley-Davidson Sportster S

The Bajaj Pulsar NS200 (2025) and the Harley-Davidson Sportster S (2025) are compared with the same Moto Kıyas physics model under identical conditions: flat dry asphalt, no wind, a 75 kg rider and no passenger. The Bajaj Pulsar NS200 is a naked bike with 200 cc, 24.1 hp and 158 kg; the Harley-Davidson Sportster S is a cruiser with 1,252 cc, 120.7 hp and 228 kg. Power-to-weight with the rider: 103.6 hp/ton versus 398.3 hp/ton. On this measure the Harley-Davidson Sportster S is 284% ahead.

In the simulation the Bajaj Pulsar NS200 covers 0-100 km/h (speedometer) in 9.07 s and the Harley-Davidson Sportster S in 2.97 s; the Harley-Davidson Sportster S is quicker by 6.11 s. In the 100-0 km/h brake test, braking distance without the 0.3 s reaction time is 43.7 m for the Bajaj Pulsar NS200 (with ABS) and 44.7 m for the Harley-Davidson Sportster S (with ABS). The Bajaj Pulsar NS200 stops 1.0 m shorter. Calculated top speed: 111 km/h (GPS measurement) versus 194 km/h (manufacturer claim).

All values are an estimated simulation, not road-test measurements. Technical data comes from the sources listed below; the model uses model-specific parameters calibrated against published road tests for both.
