What the weight numbers tell you

Using a model-level wet weight comparison, the Yamaha FZ1 ABS is heavier than about 76.1% of 69 Yamaha naked bikes with compatible weight data.
A full tank is not weightless: the 4.76 US gal (18 L) to 4.8 US gal (18.17 L) listed capacity works out to approximately 29.6 lb (13.4 kg) to 29.8 lb (13.5 kg) of gasoline. This is an estimate rather than a Yamaha curb-weight specification.
Weight is not identical across every model year in this page. Use the year-specific section rather than assuming one figure applies to every FZ1 ABS.
The calculated power-to-weight figure is 31.35 hp per 100 lb across years with compatible data. It shows how much engine output is available relative to the bike’s mass.
