Honda CT125 Hunter Cub vs Honda GL1800 Gold Wing

The Honda CT125 Hunter Cub (2026) and the Honda GL1800 Gold Wing (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 CT125 Hunter Cub is a cub / underbone with 123 cc, 9.0 hp and unlisted weight; the Honda GL1800 Gold Wing is a touring bike with 1,833 cc, 124.7 hp and 393 kg. Power-to-weight with the rider: 49.3 hp/ton versus 266.5 hp/ton. On this measure the Honda GL1800 Gold Wing is 440% ahead.

0-100 km/h (speedometer): Honda CT125 Hunter Cub not reached (top simulated speed 89 km/h), Honda GL1800 Gold Wing 4.46 s. In the 60-0 km/h brake test, braking distance without the 0.3 s reaction time is 16.9 m for the Honda CT125 Hunter Cub (with ABS) and 14.8 m for the Honda GL1800 Gold Wing (with ABS). The Honda GL1800 Gold Wing stops 2.1 m shorter. The standard 60-0 test is used because one calculated top speed is below 110 km/h. Calculated top speed: 89 km/h (estimated from power and drag) versus 207 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 class-average calibration (no accepted model-specific road test) 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.
