Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sports vs Yamaha MT-09

The Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sports (2026) and the Yamaha MT-09 (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 Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sports is a adventure bike with 1,084 cc, 100.6 hp and 253 kg; the Yamaha MT-09 is a naked bike with 890 cc, 117.3 hp and 193 kg. Power-to-weight with the rider: 306.6 hp/ton versus 437.8 hp/ton. On this measure the Yamaha MT-09 is 43% ahead.

In the simulation the Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sports covers 0-100 km/h (speedometer) in 3.08 s and the Yamaha MT-09 in 3.11 s; the Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sports is quicker by 0.03 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 Adventure Sports (with ABS) and 48.0 m for the Yamaha MT-09 (ABS unknown, class assumption: no ABS). The Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sports stops 6.6 m shorter. Calculated top speed: 202 km/h (estimated from power and drag) versus 199 km/h (manufacturer claim).
