Honda NC750X vs Kawasaki Versys 650

The Honda NC750X (2026) 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 Honda NC750X is a adventure bike with 745 cc, 57.8 hp and 226 kg; the Kawasaki Versys 650 is a adventure bike with 649 cc, 65.7 hp and unlisted weight. Power-to-weight with the rider: 192.0 hp/ton versus 229.0 hp/ton. On this measure the Kawasaki Versys 650 is 19% ahead.

In the simulation the Honda NC750X covers 0-100 km/h (speedometer) in 4.49 s and the Kawasaki Versys 650 in 3.79 s; the Kawasaki Versys 650 is quicker by 0.71 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 NC750X (with ABS) and 41.4 m for the Kawasaki Versys 650 (with ABS). Calculated top speed: 163 km/h (estimated from power and drag) 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 class-average calibration (no accepted model-specific road test) for the Honda NC750X and model-specific parameters calibrated against published road tests for the Kawasaki Versys 650. 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.
