Honda Africa Twin vs Honda SH125i

The Honda Africa Twin (2025) and the Honda SH125i (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 Honda Africa Twin is a adventure bike with 1,084 cc, 100.6 hp and 244 kg; the Honda SH125i is a scooter with 125 cc, 12.9 hp and 138 kg. Power-to-weight with the rider: 315.3 hp/ton versus 60.4 hp/ton. On this measure the Honda Africa Twin is 422% ahead.

In the simulation the Honda Africa Twin covers 0-100 km/h (speedometer) in 3.02 s and the Honda SH125i in 19.13 s; the Honda Africa Twin is quicker by 16.11 s. In the 60-0 km/h brake test, braking distance without the 0.3 s reaction time is 14.9 m for the Honda Africa Twin (with ABS) and 16.3 m for the Honda SH125i (with ABS). The Honda Africa Twin stops 1.4 m shorter. The standard 60-0 test is used because one calculated top speed is below 110 km/h. Calculated top speed: 199 km/h (manufacturer claim) versus 97 km/h (manufacturer claim).

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.
