Bajaj Pulsar NS200 vs Honda GL1800 Gold Wing

The Bajaj Pulsar NS200 (2025) and the Honda GL1800 Gold Wing (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 Bajaj Pulsar NS200 is a naked bike with 200 cc, 24.1 hp and 158 kg; the Honda GL1800 Gold Wing is a touring bike with 1,833 cc, 124.7 hp and 393 kg. Power-to-weight with the rider: 103.6 hp/ton versus 266.5 hp/ton. On this measure the Honda GL1800 Gold Wing is 157% ahead.

In the simulation the Bajaj Pulsar NS200 covers 0-100 km/h (speedometer) in 9.07 s and the Honda GL1800 Gold Wing in 4.46 s; the Honda GL1800 Gold Wing is quicker by 4.61 s. In the 100-0 km/h brake test, braking distance without the 0.3 s reaction time is 43.7 m for the Bajaj Pulsar NS200 (with ABS) and 41.0 m for the Honda GL1800 Gold Wing (with ABS). The Honda GL1800 Gold Wing stops 2.7 m shorter. Calculated top speed: 111 km/h (GPS measurement) versus 207 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 the Bajaj Pulsar NS200 and class-average calibration (no accepted model-specific road test) for the Honda GL1800 Gold Wing.
