Kawasaki KLE500 vs Yamaha Exciter 155 VVA TCS

The Kawasaki KLE500 (2026) and the Yamaha Exciter 155 VVA TCS (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 Kawasaki KLE500 is a adventure bike with 451 cc, 44.8 hp and unlisted weight; the Yamaha Exciter 155 VVA TCS is a cub / underbone with 155 cc, 18.2 hp and 124 kg. Power-to-weight with the rider: 162.9 hp/ton versus 91.7 hp/ton. On this measure the Kawasaki KLE500 is 78% ahead.

In the simulation the Kawasaki KLE500 covers 0-100 km/h (speedometer) in 4.95 s and the Yamaha Exciter 155 VVA TCS in 10.46 s; the Kawasaki KLE500 is quicker by 5.52 s. In the 100-0 km/h brake test, braking distance without the 0.3 s reaction time is 41.4 m for the Kawasaki KLE500 (with ABS) and 46.8 m for the Yamaha Exciter 155 VVA TCS (with ABS). The Kawasaki KLE500 stops 5.4 m shorter. Calculated top speed: 150 km/h (estimated from power and drag) versus 115 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 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.
