Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R vs Kawasaki Versys 650

The Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R (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 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R is a sport bike with 998 cc, 193.1 hp and 209 kg; the Kawasaki Versys 650 is a adventure bike with 649 cc, 65.7 hp and unlisted weight. Power-to-weight with the rider: 680.0 hp/ton versus 229.0 hp/ton. On this measure the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R is 197% ahead.

In the simulation the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R covers 0-100 km/h (speedometer) in 3.16 s and the Kawasaki Versys 650 in 3.79 s; the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R is quicker by 0.63 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 ZX-10R (with ABS) and 41.4 m for the Kawasaki Versys 650 (with ABS). The Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R stops 5.0 m shorter. Calculated top speed: 286 km/h (manufacturer claim) 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 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.
