Built around Yamaha's super motard motorcycle platform, the 2014 Yamaha XT1200Z utilizes a 1199 cc (73.2 cu in) liquid-cooled twin, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 112 HP (81.8 kW) at 7,250 rpm while maximum torque reaches 117 Nm (86.3 lb-ft) at 6,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and shaft drive (cardan) final drive. With a specific output of 93.4 HP per liter and a 1,250 rpm working window between peak torque (6,000 rpm) and peak power (7,250 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the XT1200Z measures 262.2 kg (578 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.43 HP/kg (2.34 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 848 mm (33.4 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,539 mm (60.6 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 22.71-liter (6 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 5.88 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 386 km (240 miles) between fill-ups.
