BMW R 1300 GS vs Honda Wave RSX FI

The BMW R 1300 GS (2024) and the Honda Wave RSX FI (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 BMW R 1300 GS is a adventure bike with 1,300 cc, 143.5 hp and 237 kg; the Honda Wave RSX FI is a cub / underbone with 109 cc, 8.7 hp and unlisted weight. Power-to-weight with the rider: 459.9 hp/ton versus 49.5 hp/ton. On this measure the BMW R 1300 GS is 829% ahead.

0-100 km/h (speedometer): BMW R 1300 GS 2.96 s, Honda Wave RSX FI not reached (top simulated speed 88 km/h). In the 60-0 km/h brake test, braking distance without the 0.3 s reaction time is 14.9 m for the BMW R 1300 GS (with ABS) and 18.5 m for the Honda Wave RSX FI (ABS unknown, class assumption: no ABS). The BMW R 1300 GS stops 3.6 m shorter. The standard 60-0 test is used because one calculated top speed is below 110 km/h. Calculated top speed: 225 km/h (manufacturer claim) versus 88 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 model-specific parameters calibrated against published road tests for the BMW R 1300 GS and class-average calibration (no accepted model-specific road test) for the Honda Wave RSX FI. 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.
