Kawasaki Versys 650 vs Suzuki V-Strom 800 DE
ESTIMATED SIMULATION
Run the comparison →The Kawasaki Versys 650 (2026) and the Suzuki V-Strom 800 DE (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 Versys 650 is a adventure bike with 649 cc, 65.7 hp and unlisted weight; the Suzuki V-Strom 800 DE is a adventure bike with 776 cc, 83.1 hp and unlisted weight. Power-to-weight with the rider: 229.0 hp/ton versus 282.1 hp/ton. On this measure the Suzuki V-Strom 800 DE is 23% ahead.
In the simulation the Kawasaki Versys 650 covers 0-100 km/h (speedometer) in 3.79 s and the Suzuki V-Strom 800 DE in 3.49 s; the Suzuki V-Strom 800 DE is quicker by 0.30 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 Versys 650 (with ABS) and 41.4 m for the Suzuki V-Strom 800 DE (with ABS). Calculated top speed: 176 km/h (estimated from power and drag) versus 190 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. 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.

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.
