Honda Super Cub C125 vs Kawasaki Versys 650

The Honda Super Cub C125 (2026) and the Kawasaki Versys 650 (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 Versys 650 is a adventure bike with 649 cc, 65.7 hp and unlisted weight. Power-to-weight with the rider: 53.0 hp/ton versus 229.0 hp/ton. On this measure the Kawasaki Versys 650 is 332% ahead.

In the simulation the Honda Super Cub C125 covers 0-100 km/h (speedometer) in 39.63 s and the Kawasaki Versys 650 in 3.79 s; the Kawasaki Versys 650 is quicker by 35.85 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 14.9 m for the Kawasaki Versys 650 (with ABS). The Kawasaki Versys 650 stops 2.0 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 176 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 the Honda Super Cub C125 and model-specific parameters calibrated against published road tests for the Kawasaki Versys 650. Missing manufacturer data (weight) is estimated by class regression, not measured. Missing manufacturer data (weight) is estimated by class regression, not measured.
