Honda Africa Twin vs Honda XL750 Transalp

The Honda Africa Twin (2025) and the Honda XL750 Transalp (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 XL750 Transalp is a adventure bike with 755 cc, 90.5 hp and 210 kg. Power-to-weight with the rider: 315.3 hp/ton versus 317.6 hp/ton. On this measure the Honda XL750 Transalp is 1% ahead.

In the simulation the Honda Africa Twin covers 0-100 km/h (speedometer) in 3.02 s and the Honda XL750 Transalp in 3.23 s; the Honda Africa Twin is quicker by 0.21 s. In the 100-0 km/h brake test, braking distance without the 0.3 s reaction time is 41.4 m for the Honda Africa Twin (with ABS) and 41.4 m for the Honda XL750 Transalp (with ABS). Calculated top speed: 199 km/h (manufacturer claim) versus 196 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 both.
