Honda CBR650R vs KTM 450 EXC-F

The Honda CBR650R (2025) and the KTM 450 EXC-F (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 CBR650R is a sport bike with 649 cc, 93.9 hp and 211 kg; the KTM 450 EXC-F is a enduro bike with 450 cc, unlisted power and unlisted weight. Power-to-weight with the rider: 328.2 hp/ton versus no data.

In the simulation the Honda CBR650R covers 0-100 km/h (speedometer) in 3.33 s and the KTM 450 EXC-F in 4.49 s; the Honda CBR650R is quicker by 1.16 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 CBR650R (with ABS) and 51.5 m for the KTM 450 EXC-F (ABS unknown, class assumption: no ABS). The Honda CBR650R stops 15.0 m shorter. Calculated top speed: 220 km/h (manufacturer claim) versus 151 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 CBR650R and class-average calibration (no accepted model-specific road test) for the KTM 450 EXC-F. Missing manufacturer data (power, torque, weight) is estimated by class regression, not measured. Open the interactive app (currently in Turkish) to watch the run side by side and change the load.
