Suzuki V-Strom 800 DE vs Yamaha NMAX 125

The Suzuki V-Strom 800 DE (2025) 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 Suzuki V-Strom 800 DE is a adventure bike with 776 cc, 83.1 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: 282.1 hp/ton versus 58.3 hp/ton. On this measure the Suzuki V-Strom 800 DE is 384% ahead.

In the simulation the Suzuki V-Strom 800 DE covers 0-100 km/h (speedometer) in 3.49 s and the Yamaha NMAX 125 in 20.34 s; the Suzuki V-Strom 800 DE is quicker by 16.85 s. In the 60-0 km/h brake test, braking distance without the 0.3 s reaction time is 14.9 m for the Suzuki V-Strom 800 DE (with ABS) and 17.9 m for the Yamaha NMAX 125 (ABS unknown, class assumption: no ABS). The Suzuki V-Strom 800 DE stops 3.0 m shorter. The standard 60-0 test is used because one calculated top speed is below 110 km/h. Calculated top speed: 190 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 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.
