Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R vs Yamaha NMAX 125
ESTIMATED SIMULATION
Run the comparison →The Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R (2026) 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 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R is a sport bike with 998 cc, 193.1 hp and 209 kg; the Yamaha NMAX 125 is a scooter with 125 cc, 12.1 hp and 132 kg. Power-to-weight with the rider: 680.0 hp/ton versus 58.3 hp/ton. On this measure the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R is 1,066% ahead.
In the simulation the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R covers 0-100 km/h (speedometer) in 3.16 s and the Yamaha NMAX 125 in 20.34 s; the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R is quicker by 17.18 s. In the 60-0 km/h brake test, braking distance without the 0.3 s reaction time is 13.1 m for the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R (with ABS) and 17.9 m for the Yamaha NMAX 125 (ABS unknown, class assumption: no ABS). The Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R stops 4.8 m shorter. The standard 60-0 test is used because one calculated top speed is below 110 km/h. Calculated top speed: 286 km/h (manufacturer claim) 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. Open the interactive app (currently in Turkish) to watch the run side by side and change the load.

Data sources and calibration
Specifications: the sources below (manufacturer pages, plus road-test or spec sites where the manufacturer gives no figure). Acceleration, braking and top speed: Moto Kıyas physics simulation (power/torque curve, gearing, drag, traction and wheelie limits, ABS assumption), calibrated against published road tests where available. Estimated, not measured.
