Honda SH125i vs Honda XL750 Transalp

The Honda SH125i (2025) and the Honda XL750 Transalp (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 SH125i is a scooter with 125 cc, 12.9 hp and 138 kg; the Honda XL750 Transalp is a adventure bike with 755 cc, 90.5 hp and 210 kg. Power-to-weight with the rider: 60.4 hp/ton versus 317.6 hp/ton. On this measure the Honda XL750 Transalp is 426% ahead.

In the simulation the Honda SH125i covers 0-100 km/h (speedometer) in 19.13 s and the Honda XL750 Transalp in 3.23 s; the Honda XL750 Transalp is quicker by 15.90 s. In the 60-0 km/h brake test, braking distance without the 0.3 s reaction time is 16.3 m for the Honda SH125i (with ABS) and 14.9 m for the Honda XL750 Transalp (with ABS). The Honda XL750 Transalp stops 1.4 m shorter. The standard 60-0 test is used because one calculated top speed is below 110 km/h. Calculated top speed: 97 km/h (manufacturer claim) versus 196 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 model-specific parameters calibrated against published road tests for both.
