Honda Forza 250 vs Kawasaki Vulcan S

The Honda Forza 250 (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 Forza 250 is a scooter with 249 cc, 22.8 hp and 186 kg; the Kawasaki Vulcan S is a cruiser with 649 cc, 59.9 hp and unlisted weight. Power-to-weight with the rider: 87.4 hp/ton versus 226.5 hp/ton. On this measure the Kawasaki Vulcan S is 159% ahead.

In the simulation the Honda Forza 250 covers 0-100 km/h (speedometer) in 10.05 s and the Kawasaki Vulcan S in 4.49 s; the Kawasaki Vulcan S is quicker by 5.57 s. In the 100-0 km/h brake test, braking distance without the 0.3 s reaction time is 45.2 m for the Honda Forza 250 (with ABS) and 44.7 m for the Kawasaki Vulcan S (with ABS). The Kawasaki Vulcan S stops 0.5 m shorter. Calculated top speed: 124 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.
