Harley-Davidson Fat Boy vs Honda Activa 125

ESTIMATED SIMULATION

Run the comparison →

The Harley-Davidson Fat Boy (2025) and the Honda Activa 125 (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 Harley-Davidson Fat Boy is a cruiser with 1,923 cc, 103.3 hp and 315 kg; the Honda Activa 125 is a scooter with 124 cc, 8.3 hp and 107 kg. Power-to-weight with the rider: 264.8 hp/ton versus 45.7 hp/ton. On this measure the Harley-Davidson Fat Boy is 480% ahead.

In the simulation the Harley-Davidson Fat Boy covers 0-100 km/h (speedometer) in 3.54 s and the Honda Activa 125 in 36.16 s; the Harley-Davidson Fat Boy is quicker by 32.62 s. In the 60-0 km/h brake test, braking distance without the 0.3 s reaction time is 17.7 m for the Harley-Davidson Fat Boy (ABS unknown, class assumption: no ABS) and 17.9 m for the Honda Activa 125 (ABS unknown, class assumption: no ABS). The Harley-Davidson Fat Boy stops 0.2 m shorter. The standard 60-0 test is used because one calculated top speed is below 110 km/h. Calculated top speed: 201 km/h (estimated from power and drag) versus 90 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 Harley-Davidson Fat Boy and model-specific parameters calibrated against published road tests for the Honda Activa 125. Open the interactive app (currently in Turkish) to watch the run side by side and change the load.

Data sources and calibration

Specifications: the sources below (manufacturer pages, plus road-test or spec sites where the manufacturer gives no figure). Acceleration, braking and top speed: Moto Kıyas physics simulation (power/torque curve, gearing, drag, traction and wheelie limits, ABS assumption), calibrated against published road tests where available. Estimated, not measured.
