Honda CBR650R vs Yamaha Exciter 155 VVA TCS

The Honda CBR650R (2025) and the Yamaha Exciter 155 VVA TCS (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 CBR650R is a sport bike with 649 cc, 93.9 hp and 211 kg; the Yamaha Exciter 155 VVA TCS is a cub / underbone with 155 cc, 18.2 hp and 124 kg. Power-to-weight with the rider: 328.2 hp/ton versus 91.7 hp/ton. On this measure the Honda CBR650R is 258% ahead.

In the simulation the Honda CBR650R covers 0-100 km/h (speedometer) in 3.33 s and the Yamaha Exciter 155 VVA TCS in 10.46 s; the Honda CBR650R is quicker by 7.13 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 46.8 m for the Yamaha Exciter 155 VVA TCS (with ABS). The Honda CBR650R stops 10.4 m shorter. Calculated top speed: 220 km/h (manufacturer claim) versus 115 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 Yamaha Exciter 155 VVA TCS.
