At the heart of the 2013 Yamaha FZ1 ABS sport motorcycle, Yamaha relies on a 998 cc (60.9 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line four, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 147.9 HP (108 kW) at 11,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 106 Nm (78.2 lb-ft) at 8,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 148.2 HP per liter and a 3,000 rpm working window between peak torque (8,000 rpm) and peak power (11,000 rpm), the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.
On the scales, the FZ1 ABS measures 221 kg (487 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.67 HP/kg (1.49 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 815 mm (32.1 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,461 mm (57.5 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 18.17-liter (4.8 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 6.72 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 270 km (168 miles) between fill-ups.
