Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sports vs Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R

The Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sports (2026) and the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R (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 Africa Twin Adventure Sports is a adventure bike with 1,084 cc, 100.6 hp and 253 kg; the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R is a sport bike with 998 cc, 193.1 hp and 209 kg. Power-to-weight with the rider: 306.6 hp/ton versus 680.0 hp/ton. On this measure the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R is 122% ahead.

In the simulation the Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sports covers 0-100 km/h (speedometer) in 3.08 s and the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R in 3.16 s; the Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sports is quicker by 0.08 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 Adventure Sports (with ABS) and 36.4 m for the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R (with ABS). The Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R stops 5.0 m shorter. Calculated top speed: 202 km/h (estimated from power and drag) versus 286 km/h (manufacturer claim).
