Ducati Panigale V4 vs Kawasaki Versys 650

The Ducati Panigale V4 (2027) and the Kawasaki Versys 650 (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 Versys 650 is a adventure bike with 649 cc, 65.7 hp and unlisted weight. Power-to-weight with the rider: 756.6 hp/ton versus 229.0 hp/ton. On this measure the Ducati Panigale V4 is 230% ahead.

In the simulation the Ducati Panigale V4 covers 0-100 km/h (speedometer) in 3.14 s and the Kawasaki Versys 650 in 3.79 s; the Ducati Panigale V4 is quicker by 0.65 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 41.4 m for the Kawasaki Versys 650 (with ABS). The Ducati Panigale V4 stops 5.0 m shorter. Calculated top speed: 299 km/h (manufacturer claim) versus 176 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. Missing manufacturer data (weight) is estimated by class regression, not measured.
