BMW R 1300 RT vs TVS Raider 125

The BMW R 1300 RT (2026) and the TVS Raider 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 BMW R 1300 RT is a touring bike with 1,300 cc, 143.5 hp and 281 kg; the TVS Raider 125 is a naked bike with 125 cc, 11.4 hp and 120 kg. Power-to-weight with the rider: 403.1 hp/ton versus 58.5 hp/ton. On this measure the BMW R 1300 RT is 589% ahead.

In the simulation the BMW R 1300 RT covers 0-100 km/h (speedometer) in 3.37 s and the TVS Raider 125 in 21.08 s; the BMW R 1300 RT is quicker by 17.71 s. In the 60-0 km/h brake test, braking distance without the 0.3 s reaction time is 14.8 m for the BMW R 1300 RT (with ABS) and 17.3 m for the TVS Raider 125 (ABS unknown, class assumption: no ABS). The BMW R 1300 RT stops 2.5 m shorter. The standard 60-0 test is used because one calculated top speed is below 110 km/h. Calculated top speed: 229 km/h (estimated from power and drag) versus 105 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.
