Honda CT125 Hunter Cub vs Kawasaki Eliminator 500

The Honda CT125 Hunter Cub (2026) and the Kawasaki Eliminator 500 (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 Kawasaki Eliminator 500 is a cruiser with 451 cc, 44.8 hp and 176 kg. Power-to-weight with the rider: 49.3 hp/ton versus 178.4 hp/ton. On this measure the Kawasaki Eliminator 500 is 262% ahead.

0-100 km/h (speedometer): Honda CT125 Hunter Cub not reached (top simulated speed 89 km/h), Kawasaki Eliminator 500 4.66 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 16.1 m for the Kawasaki Eliminator 500 (with ABS). The Kawasaki Eliminator 500 stops 0.8 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 163 km/h (manufacturer claim).

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 the Honda CT125 Hunter Cub and model-specific parameters calibrated against published road tests for the Kawasaki Eliminator 500. 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.
