Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP vs Yamaha MT-09

The Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP (2025) 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 CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP is a sport bike with 1,000 cc, 214.6 hp and 201 kg; the Yamaha MT-09 is a naked bike with 890 cc, 117.3 hp and 193 kg. Power-to-weight with the rider: 777.4 hp/ton versus 437.8 hp/ton. On this measure the Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP is 78% ahead.

In the simulation the Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP covers 0-100 km/h (speedometer) in 2.96 s and the Yamaha MT-09 in 3.11 s; the Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP is quicker by 0.15 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 48.0 m for the Yamaha MT-09 (ABS unknown, class assumption: no ABS). The Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP stops 11.6 m shorter. Calculated top speed: 315 km/h (estimated from power and drag) versus 199 km/h (manufacturer claim).

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 Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP and model-specific parameters calibrated against published road tests for the Yamaha MT-09.
