CFMoto 250SR vs Harley-Davidson Sportster S

The CFMoto 250SR (2026) and the Harley-Davidson Sportster S (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 CFMoto 250SR is a sport bike with 249 cc, 26.2 hp and unlisted weight; the Harley-Davidson Sportster S is a cruiser with 1,252 cc, 120.7 hp and 228 kg. Power-to-weight with the rider: 105.1 hp/ton versus 398.3 hp/ton. On this measure the Harley-Davidson Sportster S is 279% ahead.

In the simulation the CFMoto 250SR covers 0-100 km/h (speedometer) in 8.38 s and the Harley-Davidson Sportster S in 2.97 s; the Harley-Davidson Sportster S is quicker by 5.41 s. In the 100-0 km/h brake test, braking distance without the 0.3 s reaction time is 36.4 m for the CFMoto 250SR (with ABS) and 44.7 m for the Harley-Davidson Sportster S (with ABS). The CFMoto 250SR stops 8.3 m shorter. Calculated top speed: 142 km/h (estimated from power and drag) versus 194 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 model-specific parameters calibrated against published road tests for both.
