Honda GL1800 Gold Wing vs Yamaha PG-1

The Honda GL1800 Gold Wing (2026) and the Yamaha PG-1 (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 GL1800 Gold Wing is a touring bike with 1,833 cc, 124.7 hp and 393 kg; the Yamaha PG-1 is a cub / underbone with 114 cc, unlisted power and 109 kg. Power-to-weight with the rider: 266.5 hp/ton versus no data.

In the simulation the Honda GL1800 Gold Wing covers 0-100 km/h (speedometer) in 4.46 s and the Yamaha PG-1 in 29.82 s; the Honda GL1800 Gold Wing is quicker by 25.36 s. In the 60-0 km/h brake test, braking distance without the 0.3 s reaction time is 14.8 m for the Honda GL1800 Gold Wing (with ABS) and 16.9 m for the Yamaha PG-1 (with ABS). The Honda GL1800 Gold Wing stops 2.1 m shorter. The standard 60-0 test is used because one calculated top speed is below 110 km/h. Calculated top speed: 207 km/h (estimated from power and drag) versus 93 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. Missing manufacturer data (power, torque) 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.
