Honda GL1800 Gold Wing vs RKS RZ125

ESTIMATED SIMULATION

Run the comparison →

The Honda GL1800 Gold Wing (2026) and the RKS RZ125 (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 GL1800 Gold Wing is a touring bike with 1,833 cc, 124.7 hp and 393 kg; the RKS RZ125 is a sport bike with 125 cc, 14.5 hp and unlisted weight. Power-to-weight with the rider: 266.5 hp/ton versus 63.8 hp/ton. On this measure the Honda GL1800 Gold Wing is 318% ahead.

In the simulation the Honda GL1800 Gold Wing covers 0-100 km/h (speedometer) in 4.46 s and the RKS RZ125 in 13.42 s; the Honda GL1800 Gold Wing is quicker by 8.95 s. In the 100-0 km/h brake test, braking distance without the 0.3 s reaction time is 41.0 m for the Honda GL1800 Gold Wing (with ABS) and 36.4 m for the RKS RZ125 (with ABS). The RKS RZ125 stops 4.6 m shorter. Calculated top speed: 207 km/h (estimated from power and drag) versus 125 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 class-average calibration (no accepted model-specific road test) for both. Open the interactive app (currently in Turkish) to watch the run side by side and change the load.

Data sources and calibration

Specifications: the sources below (manufacturer pages, plus road-test or spec sites where the manufacturer gives no figure). Acceleration, braking and top speed: Moto Kıyas physics simulation (power/torque curve, gearing, drag, traction and wheelie limits, ABS assumption), calibrated against published road tests where available. Estimated, not measured.
