Honda NC750X vs Yamaha MT-09

The Honda NC750X (2026) and the Yamaha MT-09 (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 NC750X is a adventure bike with 745 cc, 57.8 hp and 226 kg; the Yamaha MT-09 is a naked bike with 890 cc, 117.3 hp and 193 kg. Power-to-weight with the rider: 192.0 hp/ton versus 437.8 hp/ton. On this measure the Yamaha MT-09 is 128% ahead.

In the simulation the Honda NC750X covers 0-100 km/h (speedometer) in 4.49 s and the Yamaha MT-09 in 3.11 s; the Yamaha MT-09 is quicker by 1.39 s. In the 100-0 km/h brake test, braking distance without the 0.3 s reaction time is 41.4 m for the Honda NC750X (with ABS) and 48.0 m for the Yamaha MT-09 (ABS unknown, class assumption: no ABS). The Honda NC750X stops 6.6 m shorter. Calculated top speed: 163 km/h (estimated from power and drag) versus 199 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 class-average calibration (no accepted model-specific road test) for the Honda NC750X and model-specific parameters calibrated against published road tests for the Yamaha MT-09.
