Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP vs Kawasaki Eliminator 500

The Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP (2025) and the Kawasaki Eliminator 500 (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 CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP is a sport bike with 1,000 cc, 214.6 hp and 201 kg; the Kawasaki Eliminator 500 is a cruiser with 451 cc, 44.8 hp and 176 kg. Power-to-weight with the rider: 777.4 hp/ton versus 178.4 hp/ton. On this measure the Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP is 336% ahead.

In the simulation the Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP covers 0-100 km/h (speedometer) in 2.96 s and the Kawasaki Eliminator 500 in 4.66 s; the Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP is quicker by 1.70 s. In the 100-0 km/h brake test, braking distance without the 0.3 s reaction time is 36.4 m for the Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP (with ABS) and 44.7 m for the Kawasaki Eliminator 500 (with ABS). The Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP stops 8.3 m shorter. Calculated top speed: 315 km/h (estimated from power and drag) versus 163 km/h (manufacturer claim).
