FJ 1200

1993 Yamaha FJ 1200 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Built around Yamaha's motorcycle platform, the 1993 Yamaha FJ 1200 relies on a 1188 cc (72.5 cu in) in-line four, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 130 HP (94.9 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 109.4 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 measures 243 kg (536 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.53 HP/kg (1.87 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. The 22-liter (5.8 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
