BMW K 1600 GT vs Honda CBR650R

The BMW K 1600 GT (2026) and the Honda CBR650R (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 BMW K 1600 GT is a touring bike with 1,649 cc, 158.2 hp and 343 kg; the Honda CBR650R is a sport bike with 649 cc, 93.9 hp and 211 kg. Power-to-weight with the rider: 378.6 hp/ton versus 328.2 hp/ton. On this measure the BMW K 1600 GT is 15% ahead.

In the simulation the BMW K 1600 GT covers 0-100 km/h (speedometer) in 3.27 s and the Honda CBR650R in 3.33 s; the BMW K 1600 GT is quicker by 0.06 s. In the 100-0 km/h brake test, braking distance without the 0.3 s reaction time is 41.0 m for the BMW K 1600 GT (with ABS) and 36.4 m for the Honda CBR650R (with ABS). The Honda CBR650R stops 4.6 m shorter. Calculated top speed: 226 km/h (estimated from power and drag) versus 220 km/h (manufacturer claim).

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 BMW K 1600 GT and model-specific parameters calibrated against published road tests for the Honda CBR650R.
