Honda GL1800 Gold Wing vs Yamaha MT-25

The Honda GL1800 Gold Wing (2026) and the Yamaha MT-25 (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 Yamaha MT-25 is a naked bike with 250 cc, 35.4 hp and 166 kg. Power-to-weight with the rider: 266.5 hp/ton versus 146.9 hp/ton. On this measure the Honda GL1800 Gold Wing is 81% ahead.

In the simulation the Honda GL1800 Gold Wing covers 0-100 km/h (speedometer) in 4.46 s and the Yamaha MT-25 in 6.35 s; the Honda GL1800 Gold Wing is quicker by 1.89 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 48.0 m for the Yamaha MT-25 (ABS unknown, class assumption: no ABS). The Honda GL1800 Gold Wing stops 7.1 m shorter. Calculated top speed: 207 km/h (estimated from power and drag) versus 147 km/h (derived (GPS ratio)).

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 Yamaha MT-25.
