Honda Super Cub C125 vs Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R

The Honda Super Cub C125 (2026) and the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R (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 Ninja ZX-10R is a sport bike with 998 cc, 193.1 hp and 209 kg. Power-to-weight with the rider: 53.0 hp/ton versus 680.0 hp/ton. On this measure the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R is 1,182% ahead.

In the simulation the Honda Super Cub C125 covers 0-100 km/h (speedometer) in 39.63 s and the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R in 3.16 s; the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R is quicker by 36.48 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 13.1 m for the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R (with ABS). The Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R stops 3.7 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 286 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 Ninja ZX-10R. 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.
