Ducati Panigale V4 vs Honda NX500

The Ducati Panigale V4 (2027) and the Honda NX500 (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 Ducati Panigale V4 is a sport bike with 1,103 cc, 215.1 hp and unlisted weight; the Honda NX500 is a adventure bike with 471 cc, 46.9 hp and 196 kg. Power-to-weight with the rider: 756.6 hp/ton versus 173.2 hp/ton. On this measure the Ducati Panigale V4 is 337% ahead.

In the simulation the Ducati Panigale V4 covers 0-100 km/h (speedometer) in 3.14 s and the Honda NX500 in 5.11 s; the Ducati Panigale V4 is quicker by 1.97 s. In the 100-0 km/h brake test, braking distance without the 0.3 s reaction time is 36.4 m for the Ducati Panigale V4 (with ABS) and 41.4 m for the Honda NX500 (with ABS). The Ducati Panigale V4 stops 5.0 m shorter. Calculated top speed: 299 km/h (manufacturer claim) versus 152 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 Ducati Panigale V4 and class-average calibration (no accepted model-specific road test) for the Honda NX500. 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.
