Honda GL1800 Gold Wing Bagger vs Yamaha R7

The Honda GL1800 Gold Wing Bagger (2026) and the Yamaha R7 (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 Bagger is a touring bike with 1,833 cc, 124.7 hp and 373 kg; the Yamaha R7 is a sport bike with 689 cc, 72.4 hp and 189 kg. Power-to-weight with the rider: 278.4 hp/ton versus 274.3 hp/ton. On this measure the Honda GL1800 Gold Wing Bagger is 1% ahead.

In the simulation the Honda GL1800 Gold Wing Bagger covers 0-100 km/h (speedometer) in 4.28 s and the Yamaha R7 in 3.41 s; the Yamaha R7 is quicker by 0.87 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 40.0 m for the Yamaha R7 (ABS unknown, class assumption: no ABS). The Yamaha R7 stops 1.0 m shorter. Calculated top speed: 207 km/h (estimated from power and drag) versus 202 km/h (manufacturer claim).

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 the Honda GL1800 Gold Wing Bagger and model-specific parameters calibrated against published road tests for the Yamaha R7.
