Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R vs Yamaha R7
ESTIMATED SIMULATION
Run the comparison →The Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R (2026) and the Yamaha R7 (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 Yamaha R7 is a sport bike with 689 cc, 72.4 hp and 189 kg. Power-to-weight with the rider: 680.0 hp/ton versus 274.3 hp/ton. On this measure the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R is 148% ahead.
In the simulation the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R covers 0-100 km/h (speedometer) in 3.16 s and the Yamaha R7 in 3.41 s; the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R is quicker by 0.25 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 40.0 m for the Yamaha R7 (ABS unknown, class assumption: no ABS). The Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R stops 3.6 m shorter. Calculated top speed: 286 km/h (manufacturer claim) versus 202 km/h (manufacturer claim).
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. Open the interactive app (currently in Turkish) to watch the run side by side and change the load.

Data sources and calibration
Specifications: the sources below (manufacturer pages, plus road-test or spec sites where the manufacturer gives no figure). Acceleration, braking and top speed: Moto Kıyas physics simulation (power/torque curve, gearing, drag, traction and wheelie limits, ABS assumption), calibrated against published road tests where available. Estimated, not measured.
