Honda CRF250 Rally vs Kawasaki KLE500

The Honda CRF250 Rally (2026) and the Kawasaki KLE500 (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 Honda CRF250 Rally is a enduro bike with 249 cc, 24.1 hp and 153 kg; the Kawasaki KLE500 is a adventure bike with 451 cc, 44.8 hp and unlisted weight. Power-to-weight with the rider: 105.9 hp/ton versus 162.9 hp/ton. On this measure the Kawasaki KLE500 is 54% ahead.

In the simulation the Honda CRF250 Rally covers 0-100 km/h (speedometer) in 7.61 s and the Kawasaki KLE500 in 4.95 s; the Kawasaki KLE500 is quicker by 2.67 s. In the 100-0 km/h brake test, braking distance without the 0.3 s reaction time is 46.8 m for the Honda CRF250 Rally (with ABS) and 41.4 m for the Kawasaki KLE500 (with ABS). The Kawasaki KLE500 stops 5.4 m shorter. Calculated top speed: 123 km/h (estimated from power and drag) versus 150 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.
