Ducati Panigale V4 vs Kawasaki Eliminator 500

The Ducati Panigale V4 (2027) and the Kawasaki Eliminator 500 (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 Ducati Panigale V4 is a sport bike with 1,103 cc, 215.1 hp and unlisted weight; the Kawasaki Eliminator 500 is a cruiser with 451 cc, 44.8 hp and 176 kg. Power-to-weight with the rider: 756.6 hp/ton versus 178.4 hp/ton. On this measure the Ducati Panigale V4 is 324% ahead.

In the simulation the Ducati Panigale V4 covers 0-100 km/h (speedometer) in 3.14 s and the Kawasaki Eliminator 500 in 4.66 s; the Ducati Panigale V4 is quicker by 1.53 s. In the 100-0 km/h brake test, braking distance without the 0.3 s reaction time is 36.4 m for the Ducati Panigale V4 (with ABS) and 44.7 m for the Kawasaki Eliminator 500 (with ABS). The Ducati Panigale V4 stops 8.3 m shorter. Calculated top speed: 299 km/h (manufacturer claim) versus 163 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. 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.
