Honda Forza 250 vs Kawasaki Z900
ESTIMATED SIMULATION
Run the comparison →The Honda Forza 250 (2026) and the Kawasaki Z900 (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 Forza 250 is a scooter with 249 cc, 22.8 hp and 186 kg; the Kawasaki Z900 is a naked bike with 948 cc, 122.0 hp and 213 kg. Power-to-weight with the rider: 87.4 hp/ton versus 423.7 hp/ton. On this measure the Kawasaki Z900 is 385% ahead.
In the simulation the Honda Forza 250 covers 0-100 km/h (speedometer) in 10.05 s and the Kawasaki Z900 in 3.13 s; the Kawasaki Z900 is quicker by 6.92 s. In the 100-0 km/h brake test, braking distance without the 0.3 s reaction time is 45.2 m for the Honda Forza 250 (with ABS) and 43.7 m for the Kawasaki Z900 (with ABS). The Kawasaki Z900 stops 1.5 m shorter. Calculated top speed: 124 km/h (GPS measurement) versus 234 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 model-specific parameters calibrated against published road tests for both. Open the interactive app (currently in Turkish) to watch the run side by side and change the load.

Data sources and calibration
Specifications: the sources below (manufacturer pages, plus road-test or spec sites where the manufacturer gives no figure). Acceleration, braking and top speed: Moto Kıyas physics simulation (power/torque curve, gearing, drag, traction and wheelie limits, ABS assumption), calibrated against published road tests where available. Estimated, not measured.
