Honda NX500 vs RKS RZ125

The Honda NX500 (2025) 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 NX500 is a adventure bike with 471 cc, 46.9 hp and 196 kg; the RKS RZ125 is a sport bike with 125 cc, 14.5 hp and unlisted weight. Power-to-weight with the rider: 173.2 hp/ton versus 63.8 hp/ton. On this measure the Honda NX500 is 171% ahead.

In the simulation the Honda NX500 covers 0-100 km/h (speedometer) in 5.11 s and the RKS RZ125 in 13.42 s; the Honda NX500 is quicker by 8.31 s. In the 100-0 km/h brake test, braking distance without the 0.3 s reaction time is 41.4 m for the Honda NX500 (with ABS) and 36.4 m for the RKS RZ125 (with ABS). The RKS RZ125 stops 5.0 m shorter. Calculated top speed: 152 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.
