Honda CB125F vs Suzuki V-Strom 800 DE

The Honda CB125F (2025) and the Suzuki V-Strom 800 DE (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 CB125F is a naked bike with 124 cc, 10.7 hp and 117 kg; the Suzuki V-Strom 800 DE is a adventure bike with 776 cc, 83.1 hp and unlisted weight. Power-to-weight with the rider: 55.9 hp/ton versus 282.1 hp/ton. On this measure the Suzuki V-Strom 800 DE is 405% ahead.

In the simulation the Honda CB125F covers 0-100 km/h (speedometer) in 21.61 s and the Suzuki V-Strom 800 DE in 3.49 s; the Suzuki V-Strom 800 DE is quicker by 18.11 s. In the 60-0 km/h brake test, braking distance without the 0.3 s reaction time is 17.3 m for the Honda CB125F (ABS unknown, class assumption: no ABS) and 14.9 m for the Suzuki V-Strom 800 DE (with ABS). The Suzuki V-Strom 800 DE stops 2.4 m shorter. The standard 60-0 test is used because one calculated top speed is below 110 km/h. Calculated top speed: 100 km/h (manufacturer claim) versus 190 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. 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.
