Bajaj Pulsar NS200 vs Kawasaki Vulcan S

The Bajaj Pulsar NS200 (2025) and the Kawasaki Vulcan S (2026) 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 Kawasaki Vulcan S is a cruiser with 649 cc, 59.9 hp and unlisted weight. Power-to-weight with the rider: 103.6 hp/ton versus 226.5 hp/ton. On this measure the Kawasaki Vulcan S is 119% ahead.

In the simulation the Bajaj Pulsar NS200 covers 0-100 km/h (speedometer) in 9.07 s and the Kawasaki Vulcan S in 4.49 s; the Kawasaki Vulcan S is quicker by 4.59 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 Kawasaki Vulcan S (with ABS). The Bajaj Pulsar NS200 stops 1.0 m shorter. Calculated top speed: 111 km/h (GPS measurement) versus 173 km/h (estimated from power and drag).

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. Missing manufacturer data (weight) is estimated by class regression, not measured. Open the interactive app (currently in Turkish) to watch the run side by side and change the load.
