Suzuki V-Strom 1050 DE vs Yamaha Tracer 9

The Suzuki V-Strom 1050 DE (2025) and the Yamaha Tracer 9 (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 Suzuki V-Strom 1050 DE is a adventure bike with 1,037 cc, 105.9 hp and unlisted weight; the Yamaha Tracer 9 is a touring bike with 890 cc, 117.3 hp and 219 kg. Power-to-weight with the rider: 341.1 hp/ton versus 399.1 hp/ton. On this measure the Yamaha Tracer 9 is 17% ahead.

In the simulation the Suzuki V-Strom 1050 DE covers 0-100 km/h (speedometer) in 3.12 s and the Yamaha Tracer 9 in 2.95 s; the Yamaha Tracer 9 is quicker by 0.17 s. In the 100-0 km/h brake test, braking distance without the 0.3 s reaction time is 41.4 m for the Suzuki V-Strom 1050 DE (with ABS) and 45.0 m for the Yamaha Tracer 9 (ABS unknown, class assumption: no ABS). The Suzuki V-Strom 1050 DE stops 3.6 m shorter. Calculated top speed: 194 km/h (estimated from power and drag) versus 215 km/h (estimated from power and drag).

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. 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.
