Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sports vs Yamaha Tracer 9

The Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sports (2026) and the Yamaha Tracer 9 (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 Adventure Sports is a adventure bike with 1,084 cc, 100.6 hp and 253 kg; the Yamaha Tracer 9 is a touring bike with 890 cc, 117.3 hp and 219 kg. Power-to-weight with the rider: 306.6 hp/ton versus 399.1 hp/ton. On this measure the Yamaha Tracer 9 is 30% ahead.

In the simulation the Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sports covers 0-100 km/h (speedometer) in 3.08 s and the Yamaha Tracer 9 in 2.95 s; the Yamaha Tracer 9 is quicker by 0.13 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 45.0 m for the Yamaha Tracer 9 (ABS unknown, class assumption: no ABS). The Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sports stops 3.6 m shorter. Calculated top speed: 202 km/h (estimated from power and drag) versus 215 km/h (estimated from power and drag).
