Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sports vs Kawasaki Vulcan S

The Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sports (2026) 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 Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sports is a adventure bike with 1,084 cc, 100.6 hp and 253 kg; the Kawasaki Vulcan S is a cruiser with 649 cc, 59.9 hp and unlisted weight. Power-to-weight with the rider: 306.6 hp/ton versus 226.5 hp/ton. On this measure the Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sports is 35% ahead.

In the simulation the Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sports covers 0-100 km/h (speedometer) in 3.08 s and the Kawasaki Vulcan S in 4.49 s; the Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sports is quicker by 1.40 s. In the 100-0 km/h brake test, braking distance without the 0.3 s reaction time is 41.4 m for the Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sports (with ABS) and 44.7 m for the Kawasaki Vulcan S (with ABS). The Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sports stops 3.3 m shorter. Calculated top speed: 202 km/h (estimated from power and drag) 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.
