Honda GL1800 Gold Wing Bagger vs Yamaha NMAX 125

The Honda GL1800 Gold Wing Bagger (2026) and the Yamaha NMAX 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 Bagger is a touring bike with 1,833 cc, 124.7 hp and 373 kg; the Yamaha NMAX 125 is a scooter with 125 cc, 12.1 hp and 132 kg. Power-to-weight with the rider: 278.4 hp/ton versus 58.3 hp/ton. On this measure the Honda GL1800 Gold Wing Bagger is 377% ahead.

In the simulation the Honda GL1800 Gold Wing Bagger covers 0-100 km/h (speedometer) in 4.28 s and the Yamaha NMAX 125 in 20.34 s; the Honda GL1800 Gold Wing Bagger is quicker by 16.06 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 Bagger (with ABS) and 17.9 m for the Yamaha NMAX 125 (ABS unknown, class assumption: no ABS). The Honda GL1800 Gold Wing Bagger stops 3.1 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 99 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 Bagger and model-specific parameters calibrated against published road tests for the Yamaha NMAX 125.
