Kawasaki Ninja 500 vs Yamaha Exciter 155 VVA TCS

The Kawasaki Ninja 500 (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 Ninja 500 is a sport 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: 172.9 hp/ton versus 91.7 hp/ton. On this measure the Kawasaki Ninja 500 is 89% ahead.

In the simulation the Kawasaki Ninja 500 covers 0-100 km/h (speedometer) in 5.09 s and the Yamaha Exciter 155 VVA TCS in 10.46 s; the Kawasaki Ninja 500 is quicker by 5.38 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 46.8 m for the Yamaha Exciter 155 VVA TCS (with ABS). The Kawasaki Ninja 500 stops 10.4 m shorter. Calculated top speed: 186 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.
