Honda Wave RSX FI vs Kawasaki Vulcan S

The Honda Wave RSX FI (2026) and the Kawasaki Vulcan S (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 Wave RSX FI is a cub / underbone with 109 cc, 8.7 hp and unlisted weight; the Kawasaki Vulcan S is a cruiser with 649 cc, 59.9 hp and unlisted weight. Power-to-weight with the rider: 49.5 hp/ton versus 226.5 hp/ton. On this measure the Kawasaki Vulcan S is 357% ahead.

0-100 km/h (speedometer): Honda Wave RSX FI not reached (top simulated speed 88 km/h), Kawasaki Vulcan S 4.49 s. In the 60-0 km/h brake test, braking distance without the 0.3 s reaction time is 18.5 m for the Honda Wave RSX FI (ABS unknown, class assumption: no ABS) and 16.1 m for the Kawasaki Vulcan S (with ABS). The Kawasaki Vulcan S stops 2.4 m shorter. The standard 60-0 test is used because one calculated top speed is below 110 km/h. Calculated top speed: 88 km/h (estimated from power and drag) versus 173 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 the Honda Wave RSX FI and model-specific parameters calibrated against published road tests for the Kawasaki Vulcan S. Missing manufacturer data (weight) is estimated by class regression, not measured. Missing manufacturer data (weight) is estimated by class regression, not measured.
