Harley-Davidson Fat Boy vs Honda XL750 Transalp

The Harley-Davidson Fat Boy (2025) and the Honda XL750 Transalp (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 XL750 Transalp is a adventure bike with 755 cc, 90.5 hp and 210 kg. Power-to-weight with the rider: 264.8 hp/ton versus 317.6 hp/ton. On this measure the Honda XL750 Transalp is 20% ahead.

In the simulation the Harley-Davidson Fat Boy covers 0-100 km/h (speedometer) in 3.54 s and the Honda XL750 Transalp in 3.23 s; the Honda XL750 Transalp is quicker by 0.32 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 41.4 m for the Honda XL750 Transalp (with ABS). The Honda XL750 Transalp stops 7.7 m shorter. Calculated top speed: 201 km/h (estimated from power and drag) versus 196 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 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 XL750 Transalp.
