Honda SH125i vs Suzuki V-Strom 800 DE

The Honda SH125i (2025) and the Suzuki V-Strom 800 DE (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 Suzuki V-Strom 800 DE is a adventure bike with 776 cc, 83.1 hp and unlisted weight. Power-to-weight with the rider: 60.4 hp/ton versus 282.1 hp/ton. On this measure the Suzuki V-Strom 800 DE is 367% ahead.

In the simulation the Honda SH125i covers 0-100 km/h (speedometer) in 19.13 s and the Suzuki V-Strom 800 DE in 3.49 s; the Suzuki V-Strom 800 DE is quicker by 15.64 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 Suzuki V-Strom 800 DE (with ABS). The Suzuki V-Strom 800 DE 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 190 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. Missing manufacturer data (weight) 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.
