Honda Super Cub C125 vs Kawasaki Eliminator 500

The Honda Super Cub C125 (2026) and the Kawasaki Eliminator 500 (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 Super Cub C125 is a cub / underbone with 123 cc, 9.7 hp and unlisted weight; the Kawasaki Eliminator 500 is a cruiser with 451 cc, 44.8 hp and 176 kg. Power-to-weight with the rider: 53.0 hp/ton versus 178.4 hp/ton. On this measure the Kawasaki Eliminator 500 is 236% ahead.

In the simulation the Honda Super Cub C125 covers 0-100 km/h (speedometer) in 39.63 s and the Kawasaki Eliminator 500 in 4.66 s; the Kawasaki Eliminator 500 is quicker by 34.97 s. In the 60-0 km/h brake test, braking distance without the 0.3 s reaction time is 16.9 m for the Honda Super Cub C125 (with ABS) and 16.1 m for the Kawasaki Eliminator 500 (with ABS). The Kawasaki Eliminator 500 stops 0.8 m shorter. The standard 60-0 test is used because one calculated top speed is below 110 km/h. Calculated top speed: 93 km/h (estimated from power and drag) versus 163 km/h (manufacturer claim).

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 the Honda Super Cub C125 and model-specific parameters calibrated against published road tests for the Kawasaki Eliminator 500. 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.
