Ladies, ladies, lets not be shy about this, it's obvious to all.
The FZS is a bit of a pipe 'n' slippers machine, and the FZ1 is easily the hairy chested butch bodybuilder! :rollin :rollin :rollin
No, seriously. The FZS is a proper all rounder, best analogy is a mini FJR, the FZ1 is a comfy sports bike, or an R1 with flat bars.
Fuel consumption:- The FZ1 averages about 40 UK mpg with 130ish miles to a tank, and the FZS does (correct me if I'm wrong) about 45ish UK mpg, and gets 200 miles ish to the tank
BHP:- FZ1 is 150 bhp (crank), and FZS is about 145bhp. FZS has better torque lower down the rev range, the FZ1 is more revvy producing its power a couple of thousand rpm higher.
Touring ability:- FZS is comfier with a bigger tank, FZ1 is more fun on the twisties. (just done 295 miles on mine today into Wales, my arse was a bit sore!! :eek )
Hope that answers your questions, now if your manly, you'd get the FZ1, or you can carry a tartan blanket and a flask of hot sweet tea in your 50 litre topbox on the FZS. :lol
