Honda NT1100 vs Kawasaki Eliminator 500
ESTIMATED SIMULATION
Run the comparison →The Honda NT1100 (2026) and the Kawasaki Eliminator 500 (2026) 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 NT1100 is a touring bike with 1,084 cc, 100.6 hp and 249 kg; the Kawasaki Eliminator 500 is a cruiser with 451 cc, 44.8 hp and 176 kg. Power-to-weight with the rider: 310.4 hp/ton versus 178.4 hp/ton. On this measure the Honda NT1100 is 74% ahead.
In the simulation the Honda NT1100 covers 0-100 km/h (speedometer) in 3.15 s and the Kawasaki Eliminator 500 in 4.66 s; the Honda NT1100 is quicker by 1.52 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 NT1100 (with ABS) and 44.7 m for the Kawasaki Eliminator 500 (with ABS). The Honda NT1100 stops 3.7 m shorter. Calculated top speed: 194 km/h (estimated from power and drag) versus 163 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 model-specific parameters calibrated against published road tests for both. 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.
