1995 Yamaha FJ 1200 ABS Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Engineered by Yamaha for the sport touring motorcycle segment, the 1995 Yamaha FJ 1200 ABS pairs a 1188 cc (72.5 cu in) in-line four, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 125 HP (91.2 kW) at 9,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 107.9 Nm (79.6 lb-ft) at 7,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox. With a specific output of 105.2 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (7,500 rpm) and peak power (9,000 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.

On the scales, the FJ 1200 ABS measures 248 kg (547 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.5 HP/kg (1.98 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 790 mm (31.1 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance.
