Honda NX500 vs Yamaha Exciter 155 VVA TCS

The Honda NX500 (2025) and the Yamaha Exciter 155 VVA TCS (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 Yamaha Exciter 155 VVA TCS is a cub / underbone with 155 cc, 18.2 hp and 124 kg. Power-to-weight with the rider: 173.2 hp/ton versus 91.7 hp/ton. On this measure the Honda NX500 is 89% ahead.

In the simulation the Honda NX500 covers 0-100 km/h (speedometer) in 5.11 s and the Yamaha Exciter 155 VVA TCS in 10.46 s; the Honda NX500 is quicker by 5.35 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 Yamaha Exciter 155 VVA TCS (with ABS). The Honda NX500 stops 5.4 m shorter. Calculated top speed: 152 km/h (estimated from power and drag) versus 115 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.
