FZ1 Fazer ABS

2009 Yamaha FZ1 Fazer ABS Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Built around Yamaha's sport motorcycle platform, the 2009 Yamaha FZ1 Fazer ABS 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) while maximum torque reaches 106 Nm (78.2 lb-ft) at 10,800 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox. With a specific output of 148.2 HP per liter, the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.

On the scales, the FZ1 Fazer 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 1,460 mm (57.5 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 18-liter (4.8 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
