Harley-Davidson Low Rider S vs Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sports

The Harley-Davidson Low Rider S (2025) and the Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sports (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 Harley-Davidson Low Rider S is a cruiser with 1,923 cc, 114.0 hp and 304 kg; the Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sports is a adventure bike with 1,084 cc, 100.6 hp and 253 kg. Power-to-weight with the rider: 300.8 hp/ton versus 306.6 hp/ton. On this measure the Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sports is 2% ahead.

In the simulation the Harley-Davidson Low Rider S covers 0-100 km/h (speedometer) in 3.69 s and the Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sports in 3.08 s; the Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sports is quicker by 0.61 s. In the 100-0 km/h brake test, braking distance without the 0.3 s reaction time is 49.1 m for the Harley-Davidson Low Rider S (ABS unknown, class assumption: no ABS) and 41.4 m for the Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sports (with ABS). The Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sports stops 7.7 m shorter. Calculated top speed: 208 km/h (estimated from power and drag) versus 202 km/h (estimated from power and drag).
