Honda GL1800 Gold Wing Bagger vs KTM 450 EXC-F

The Honda GL1800 Gold Wing Bagger (2026) 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 GL1800 Gold Wing Bagger is a touring bike with 1,833 cc, 124.7 hp and 373 kg; the KTM 450 EXC-F is a enduro bike with 450 cc, unlisted power and unlisted weight. Power-to-weight with the rider: 278.4 hp/ton versus no data.

In the simulation the Honda GL1800 Gold Wing Bagger covers 0-100 km/h (speedometer) in 4.28 s and the KTM 450 EXC-F in 4.49 s; the Honda GL1800 Gold Wing Bagger is quicker by 0.21 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 Bagger (with ABS) and 51.5 m for the KTM 450 EXC-F (ABS unknown, class assumption: no ABS). The Honda GL1800 Gold Wing Bagger stops 10.5 m shorter. Calculated top speed: 207 km/h (estimated from power and drag) 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 class-average calibration (no accepted model-specific road test) for both. 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.
