Yamaha MT-09 vs Yamaha XMAX 250
ESTIMATED SIMULATION
Run the comparison →The Yamaha MT-09 (2025) and the Yamaha XMAX 250 (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 Yamaha MT-09 is a naked bike with 890 cc, 117.3 hp and 193 kg; the Yamaha XMAX 250 is a scooter with 250 cc, 22.4 hp and 183 kg. Power-to-weight with the rider: 437.8 hp/ton versus 86.8 hp/ton. On this measure the Yamaha MT-09 is 404% ahead.
In the simulation the Yamaha MT-09 covers 0-100 km/h (speedometer) in 3.11 s and the Yamaha XMAX 250 in 11.65 s; the Yamaha MT-09 is quicker by 8.54 s. In the 100-0 km/h brake test, braking distance without the 0.3 s reaction time is 48.0 m for the Yamaha MT-09 (ABS unknown, class assumption: no ABS) and 45.2 m for the Yamaha XMAX 250 (with ABS). The Yamaha XMAX 250 stops 2.8 m shorter. Calculated top speed: 199 km/h (manufacturer claim) versus 126 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.

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.
