Kawasaki KLE500 vs Yamaha PG-1

The Kawasaki KLE500 (2026) and the Yamaha PG-1 (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 KLE500 is a adventure bike with 451 cc, 44.8 hp and unlisted weight; the Yamaha PG-1 is a cub / underbone with 114 cc, unlisted power and 109 kg. Power-to-weight with the rider: 162.9 hp/ton versus no data.

In the simulation the Kawasaki KLE500 covers 0-100 km/h (speedometer) in 4.95 s and the Yamaha PG-1 in 29.82 s; the Kawasaki KLE500 is quicker by 24.88 s. 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 16.9 m for the Yamaha PG-1 (with ABS). The Kawasaki KLE500 stops 2.0 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 93 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. Missing manufacturer data (power, torque) is estimated by class regression, not measured.
