Honda Africa Twin vs Yamaha Exciter 155 VVA TCS

The Honda Africa Twin (2025) and the Yamaha Exciter 155 VVA TCS (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 Honda Africa Twin is a adventure bike with 1,084 cc, 100.6 hp and 244 kg; the Yamaha Exciter 155 VVA TCS is a cub / underbone with 155 cc, 18.2 hp and 124 kg. Power-to-weight with the rider: 315.3 hp/ton versus 91.7 hp/ton. On this measure the Honda Africa Twin is 244% ahead.

In the simulation the Honda Africa Twin covers 0-100 km/h (speedometer) in 3.02 s and the Yamaha Exciter 155 VVA TCS in 10.46 s; the Honda Africa Twin is quicker by 7.45 s. In the 100-0 km/h brake test, braking distance without the 0.3 s reaction time is 41.4 m for the Honda Africa Twin (with ABS) and 46.8 m for the Yamaha Exciter 155 VVA TCS (with ABS). The Honda Africa Twin stops 5.4 m shorter. Calculated top speed: 199 km/h (manufacturer claim) versus 115 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 Honda Africa Twin and class-average calibration (no accepted model-specific road test) for the Yamaha Exciter 155 VVA TCS.
