KTM 390 Duke vs Yamaha MT-25

The KTM 390 Duke (2025) and the Yamaha MT-25 (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 KTM 390 Duke is a naked bike with 399 cc, 44.4 hp and 165 kg; the Yamaha MT-25 is a naked bike with 250 cc, 35.4 hp and 166 kg. Power-to-weight with the rider: 184.9 hp/ton versus 146.9 hp/ton. On this measure the KTM 390 Duke is 26% ahead.

In the simulation the KTM 390 Duke covers 0-100 km/h (speedometer) in 5.48 s and the Yamaha MT-25 in 6.35 s; the KTM 390 Duke is quicker by 0.87 s. In the 100-0 km/h brake test, braking distance without the 0.3 s reaction time is 43.7 m for the KTM 390 Duke (with ABS) and 48.0 m for the Yamaha MT-25 (ABS unknown, class assumption: no ABS). The KTM 390 Duke stops 4.3 m shorter. Calculated top speed: 167 km/h (test measurement) versus 147 km/h (derived (GPS ratio)).

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.
