BMW R 1300 RT vs Yamaha PG-1

The BMW R 1300 RT (2026) and the Yamaha PG-1 (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 Yamaha PG-1 is a cub / underbone with 114 cc, unlisted power and 109 kg. Power-to-weight with the rider: 403.1 hp/ton versus no data.

In the simulation the BMW R 1300 RT covers 0-100 km/h (speedometer) in 3.37 s and the Yamaha PG-1 in 29.82 s; the BMW R 1300 RT is quicker by 26.45 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 16.9 m for the Yamaha PG-1 (with ABS). The BMW R 1300 RT stops 2.1 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 93 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 RT and class-average calibration (no accepted model-specific road test) for the Yamaha PG-1. Missing manufacturer data (power, torque) 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.
