Honda Activa 125 vs Kawasaki Ninja 1100SX SE

The Honda Activa 125 (2025) and the Kawasaki Ninja 1100SX SE (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 Honda Activa 125 is a scooter with 124 cc, 8.3 hp and 107 kg; the Kawasaki Ninja 1100SX SE is a touring bike with 1,099 cc, 134.1 hp and unlisted weight. Power-to-weight with the rider: 45.7 hp/ton versus 409.9 hp/ton. On this measure the Kawasaki Ninja 1100SX SE is 798% ahead.

In the simulation the Honda Activa 125 covers 0-100 km/h (speedometer) in 36.16 s and the Kawasaki Ninja 1100SX SE in 3.30 s; the Kawasaki Ninja 1100SX SE is quicker by 32.86 s. In the 60-0 km/h brake test, braking distance without the 0.3 s reaction time is 17.9 m for the Honda Activa 125 (ABS unknown, class assumption: no ABS) and 14.8 m for the Kawasaki Ninja 1100SX SE (with ABS). The Kawasaki Ninja 1100SX SE stops 3.1 m shorter. The standard 60-0 test is used because one calculated top speed is below 110 km/h. Calculated top speed: 90 km/h (manufacturer claim) versus 219 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 Honda Activa 125 and class-average calibration (no accepted model-specific road test) for the Kawasaki Ninja 1100SX SE. 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.
