Harley-Davidson Fat Boy vs Honda Forza 250

ESTIMATED SIMULATION

Run the comparison →

The Harley-Davidson Fat Boy (2025) and the Honda Forza 250 (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 Harley-Davidson Fat Boy is a cruiser with 1,923 cc, 103.3 hp and 315 kg; the Honda Forza 250 is a scooter with 249 cc, 22.8 hp and 186 kg. Power-to-weight with the rider: 264.8 hp/ton versus 87.4 hp/ton. On this measure the Harley-Davidson Fat Boy is 203% ahead.

In the simulation the Harley-Davidson Fat Boy covers 0-100 km/h (speedometer) in 3.54 s and the Honda Forza 250 in 10.05 s; the Harley-Davidson Fat Boy is quicker by 6.51 s. In the 100-0 km/h brake test, braking distance without the 0.3 s reaction time is 49.1 m for the Harley-Davidson Fat Boy (ABS unknown, class assumption: no ABS) and 45.2 m for the Honda Forza 250 (with ABS). The Honda Forza 250 stops 3.9 m shorter. Calculated top speed: 201 km/h (estimated from power and drag) versus 124 km/h (GPS measurement).

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 Forza 250. 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.
