Bajaj Pulsar NS200 vs Yamaha XMAX 250
ESTIMATED SIMULATION
Run the comparison →The Bajaj Pulsar NS200 (2025) and the Yamaha XMAX 250 (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 Yamaha XMAX 250 is a scooter with 250 cc, 22.4 hp and 183 kg. Power-to-weight with the rider: 103.6 hp/ton versus 86.8 hp/ton. On this measure the Bajaj Pulsar NS200 is 19% ahead.
In the simulation the Bajaj Pulsar NS200 covers 0-100 km/h (speedometer) in 9.07 s and the Yamaha XMAX 250 in 11.65 s; the Bajaj Pulsar NS200 is quicker by 2.57 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 45.2 m for the Yamaha XMAX 250 (with ABS). The Bajaj Pulsar NS200 stops 1.5 m shorter. Calculated top speed: 111 km/h (GPS measurement) versus 126 km/h (GPS measurement).
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. Open the interactive app (currently in Turkish) to watch the run side by side and change the load.

Data sources and calibration
Specifications: the sources below (manufacturer pages, plus road-test or spec sites where the manufacturer gives no figure). Acceleration, braking and top speed: Moto Kıyas physics simulation (power/torque curve, gearing, drag, traction and wheelie limits, ABS assumption), calibrated against published road tests where available. Estimated, not measured.
