Kawasaki Ninja 1100SX SE vs Kawasaki Vulcan S

The Kawasaki Ninja 1100SX SE (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 Kawasaki Ninja 1100SX SE is a touring bike with 1,099 cc, 134.1 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: 409.9 hp/ton versus 226.5 hp/ton. On this measure the Kawasaki Ninja 1100SX SE is 81% ahead.

In the simulation the Kawasaki Ninja 1100SX SE covers 0-100 km/h (speedometer) in 3.30 s and the Kawasaki Vulcan S in 4.49 s; the Kawasaki Ninja 1100SX SE is quicker by 1.18 s. In the 100-0 km/h brake test, braking distance without the 0.3 s reaction time is 41.0 m for the Kawasaki Ninja 1100SX SE (with ABS) and 44.7 m for the Kawasaki Vulcan S (with ABS). The Kawasaki Ninja 1100SX SE stops 3.7 m shorter. Calculated top speed: 219 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 Kawasaki Ninja 1100SX SE 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.
