Kawasaki KLE500 vs Kuba Terra125

The Kawasaki KLE500 (2026) and the Kuba Terra125 (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 KLE500 is a adventure bike with 451 cc, 44.8 hp and unlisted weight; the Kuba Terra125 is a naked bike with 125 cc, 9.5 hp and unlisted weight. Power-to-weight with the rider: 162.9 hp/ton versus 48.7 hp/ton. On this measure the Kawasaki KLE500 is 234% ahead.

0-100 km/h (speedometer): Kawasaki KLE500 4.95 s, Kuba Terra125 not reached (top simulated speed 89 km/h). In the 60-0 km/h brake test, braking distance without the 0.3 s reaction time is 14.9 m for the Kawasaki KLE500 (with ABS) and 17.3 m for the Kuba Terra125 (ABS unknown, class assumption: no ABS). The Kawasaki KLE500 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: 150 km/h (estimated from power and drag) versus 89 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.
