Honda CBR650R vs Suzuki GSX-S1000GX

The Honda CBR650R (2025) and the Suzuki GSX-S1000GX (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 Suzuki GSX-S1000GX is a touring bike with 999 cc, 150.2 hp and unlisted weight. Power-to-weight with the rider: 328.2 hp/ton versus 485.4 hp/ton. On this measure the Suzuki GSX-S1000GX is 48% ahead.

In the simulation the Honda CBR650R covers 0-100 km/h (speedometer) in 3.33 s and the Suzuki GSX-S1000GX in 2.94 s; the Suzuki GSX-S1000GX is quicker by 0.39 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 45.0 m for the Suzuki GSX-S1000GX (ABS unknown, class assumption: no ABS). The Honda CBR650R stops 8.6 m shorter. Calculated top speed: 220 km/h (manufacturer claim) versus 217 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 both. Missing manufacturer data (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.
