BMW R 1300 GS vs Kuba Superlight 125

The BMW R 1300 GS (2024) and the Kuba Superlight 125 (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 BMW R 1300 GS is a adventure bike with 1,300 cc, 143.5 hp and 237 kg; the Kuba Superlight 125 is a cruiser with 124 cc, 10.5 hp and unlisted weight. Power-to-weight with the rider: 459.9 hp/ton versus 42.5 hp/ton. On this measure the BMW R 1300 GS is 983% ahead.

0-100 km/h (speedometer): BMW R 1300 GS 2.96 s, Kuba Superlight 125 not reached (top simulated speed 91 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 BMW R 1300 GS (with ABS) and 17.7 m for the Kuba Superlight 125 (ABS unknown, class assumption: no ABS). The BMW R 1300 GS stops 2.8 m shorter. The standard 60-0 test is used because one calculated top speed is below 110 km/h. Calculated top speed: 225 km/h (manufacturer claim) versus 90 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 BMW R 1300 GS and class-average calibration (no accepted model-specific road test) for the Kuba Superlight 125.
