Honda Super Cub C125 vs Yamaha NMAX 125

The Honda Super Cub C125 (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 Super Cub C125 is a cub / underbone with 123 cc, 9.7 hp and unlisted weight; the Yamaha NMAX 125 is a scooter with 125 cc, 12.1 hp and 132 kg. Power-to-weight with the rider: 53.0 hp/ton versus 58.3 hp/ton. On this measure the Yamaha NMAX 125 is 10% ahead.

In the simulation the Honda Super Cub C125 covers 0-100 km/h (speedometer) in 39.63 s and the Yamaha NMAX 125 in 20.34 s; the Yamaha NMAX 125 is quicker by 19.29 s. In the 60-0 km/h brake test, braking distance without the 0.3 s reaction time is 16.9 m for the Honda Super Cub C125 (with ABS) and 17.9 m for the Yamaha NMAX 125 (ABS unknown, class assumption: no ABS). The Honda Super Cub C125 stops 1.0 m shorter. The standard 60-0 test is used because one calculated top speed is below 110 km/h. Calculated top speed: 93 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 Super Cub C125 and model-specific parameters calibrated against published road tests for the Yamaha NMAX 125. Missing manufacturer data (weight) is estimated by class regression, not measured. Open the interactive app (currently in Turkish) to watch the run side by side and change the load.
