Honda GL1800 Gold Wing vs TVS Raider 125

The Honda GL1800 Gold Wing (2026) and the TVS Raider 125 (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 TVS Raider 125 is a naked bike with 125 cc, 11.4 hp and 120 kg. Power-to-weight with the rider: 266.5 hp/ton versus 58.5 hp/ton. On this measure the Honda GL1800 Gold Wing is 356% ahead.

In the simulation the Honda GL1800 Gold Wing covers 0-100 km/h (speedometer) in 4.46 s and the TVS Raider 125 in 21.08 s; the Honda GL1800 Gold Wing is quicker by 16.62 s. In the 60-0 km/h brake test, braking distance without the 0.3 s reaction time is 14.8 m for the Honda GL1800 Gold Wing (with ABS) and 17.3 m for the TVS Raider 125 (ABS unknown, class assumption: no ABS). The Honda GL1800 Gold Wing stops 2.5 m shorter. The standard 60-0 test is used because one calculated top speed is below 110 km/h. Calculated top speed: 207 km/h (estimated from power and drag) versus 105 km/h (GPS measurement).

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 GL1800 Gold Wing and model-specific parameters calibrated against published road tests for the TVS Raider 125.
