Ducati Panigale V4 vs Honda GL1800 Gold Wing

The Ducati Panigale V4 (2027) and the Honda GL1800 Gold Wing (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 Ducati Panigale V4 is a sport bike with 1,103 cc, 215.1 hp and unlisted weight; the Honda GL1800 Gold Wing is a touring bike with 1,833 cc, 124.7 hp and 393 kg. Power-to-weight with the rider: 756.6 hp/ton versus 266.5 hp/ton. On this measure the Ducati Panigale V4 is 184% ahead.

In the simulation the Ducati Panigale V4 covers 0-100 km/h (speedometer) in 3.14 s and the Honda GL1800 Gold Wing in 4.46 s; the Ducati Panigale V4 is quicker by 1.32 s. In the 100-0 km/h brake test, braking distance without the 0.3 s reaction time is 36.4 m for the Ducati Panigale V4 (with ABS) and 41.0 m for the Honda GL1800 Gold Wing (with ABS). The Ducati Panigale V4 stops 4.6 m shorter. Calculated top speed: 299 km/h (manufacturer claim) versus 207 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 Ducati Panigale V4 and class-average calibration (no accepted model-specific road test) for the Honda GL1800 Gold Wing. 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.
