Honda GL1800 Gold Wing vs Suzuki DR-Z4S

ESTIMATED SIMULATION

Run the comparison →

The Honda GL1800 Gold Wing (2026) and the Suzuki DR-Z4S (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 GL1800 Gold Wing is a touring bike with 1,833 cc, 124.7 hp and 393 kg; the Suzuki DR-Z4S is a enduro bike with 398 cc, unlisted power and 151 kg. Power-to-weight with the rider: 266.5 hp/ton versus no data.

In the simulation the Honda GL1800 Gold Wing covers 0-100 km/h (speedometer) in 4.46 s and the Suzuki DR-Z4S in 4.98 s; the Honda GL1800 Gold Wing is quicker by 0.52 s. In the 100-0 km/h brake test, braking distance without the 0.3 s reaction time is 41.0 m for the Honda GL1800 Gold Wing (with ABS) and 46.8 m for the Suzuki DR-Z4S (with ABS). The Honda GL1800 Gold Wing stops 5.9 m shorter. Calculated top speed: 207 km/h (estimated from power and drag) versus 145 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 (power, torque) 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.

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.
