Honda NX500 vs Suzuki DR-Z4S

The Honda NX500 (2025) and the Suzuki DR-Z4S (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 NX500 is a adventure bike with 471 cc, 46.9 hp and 196 kg; the Suzuki DR-Z4S is a enduro bike with 398 cc, unlisted power and 151 kg. Power-to-weight with the rider: 173.2 hp/ton versus no data.

In the simulation the Honda NX500 covers 0-100 km/h (speedometer) in 5.11 s and the Suzuki DR-Z4S in 4.98 s; the Suzuki DR-Z4S is quicker by 0.13 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 46.8 m for the Suzuki DR-Z4S (with ABS). The Honda NX500 stops 5.4 m shorter. Calculated top speed: 152 km/h (estimated from power and drag) versus 145 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.
