Honda XL750 Transalp vs Yamaha NMAX 125

The Honda XL750 Transalp (2025) and the Yamaha NMAX 125 (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 XL750 Transalp is a adventure bike with 755 cc, 90.5 hp and 210 kg; the Yamaha NMAX 125 is a scooter with 125 cc, 12.1 hp and 132 kg. Power-to-weight with the rider: 317.6 hp/ton versus 58.3 hp/ton. On this measure the Honda XL750 Transalp is 445% ahead.

In the simulation the Honda XL750 Transalp covers 0-100 km/h (speedometer) in 3.23 s and the Yamaha NMAX 125 in 20.34 s; the Honda XL750 Transalp is quicker by 17.11 s. In the 60-0 km/h brake test, braking distance without the 0.3 s reaction time is 14.9 m for the Honda XL750 Transalp (with ABS) and 17.9 m for the Yamaha NMAX 125 (ABS unknown, class assumption: no ABS). The Honda XL750 Transalp stops 3.0 m shorter. The standard 60-0 test is used because one calculated top speed is below 110 km/h. Calculated top speed: 196 km/h (estimated from power and drag) versus 99 km/h (GPS measurement).

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.
