Kawasaki Ninja 500 vs KTM 350 EXC-F

The Kawasaki Ninja 500 (2026) and the KTM 350 EXC-F (2025) 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 Ninja 500 is a sport bike with 451 cc, 44.8 hp and unlisted weight; the KTM 350 EXC-F is a enduro bike with 350 cc, unlisted power and unlisted weight. Power-to-weight with the rider: 172.9 hp/ton versus no data.

In the simulation the Kawasaki Ninja 500 covers 0-100 km/h (speedometer) in 5.09 s and the KTM 350 EXC-F in 5.62 s; the Kawasaki Ninja 500 is quicker by 0.53 s. In the 100-0 km/h brake test, braking distance without the 0.3 s reaction time is 36.4 m for the Kawasaki Ninja 500 (with ABS) and 51.5 m for the KTM 350 EXC-F (ABS unknown, class assumption: no ABS). The Kawasaki Ninja 500 stops 15.0 m shorter. Calculated top speed: 186 km/h (estimated from power and drag) versus 138 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. Missing manufacturer data (power, torque, weight) is estimated by class regression, not measured.
