BMW R 1300 RT vs Honda CT125 Hunter Cub

The BMW R 1300 RT (2026) and the Honda CT125 Hunter Cub (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 RT is a touring bike with 1,300 cc, 143.5 hp and 281 kg; the Honda CT125 Hunter Cub is a cub / underbone with 123 cc, 9.0 hp and unlisted weight. Power-to-weight with the rider: 403.1 hp/ton versus 49.3 hp/ton. On this measure the BMW R 1300 RT is 717% ahead.

0-100 km/h (speedometer): BMW R 1300 RT 3.37 s, Honda CT125 Hunter Cub not reached (top simulated speed 89 km/h). In the 60-0 km/h brake test, braking distance without the 0.3 s reaction time is 14.8 m for the BMW R 1300 RT (with ABS) and 16.9 m for the Honda CT125 Hunter Cub (with ABS). The BMW R 1300 RT stops 2.1 m shorter. The standard 60-0 test is used because one calculated top speed is below 110 km/h. Calculated top speed: 229 km/h (estimated from power and drag) versus 89 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 RT and class-average calibration (no accepted model-specific road test) for the Honda CT125 Hunter Cub. 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.
