Kawasaki Versys 650 vs Yamaha Exciter 155 VVA TCS

The Kawasaki Versys 650 (2026) and the Yamaha Exciter 155 VVA TCS (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 Versys 650 is a adventure bike with 649 cc, 65.7 hp and unlisted weight; the Yamaha Exciter 155 VVA TCS is a cub / underbone with 155 cc, 18.2 hp and 124 kg. Power-to-weight with the rider: 229.0 hp/ton versus 91.7 hp/ton. On this measure the Kawasaki Versys 650 is 150% ahead.

In the simulation the Kawasaki Versys 650 covers 0-100 km/h (speedometer) in 3.79 s and the Yamaha Exciter 155 VVA TCS in 10.46 s; the Kawasaki Versys 650 is quicker by 6.68 s. In the 100-0 km/h brake test, braking distance without the 0.3 s reaction time is 41.4 m for the Kawasaki Versys 650 (with ABS) and 46.8 m for the Yamaha Exciter 155 VVA TCS (with ABS). The Kawasaki Versys 650 stops 5.4 m shorter. Calculated top speed: 176 km/h (estimated from power and drag) versus 115 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 model-specific parameters calibrated against published road tests for the Kawasaki Versys 650 and class-average calibration (no accepted model-specific road test) for the Yamaha Exciter 155 VVA TCS. 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.
