FZS1000 is heavier than FZ1
FZS1000 has softer suspension than FZ1
FZS1000 has comfier seat than FZ1
FZS1000 has better fairing than FZ1
FZS1000 has carbs and FZ1 has injectors
FZS1000 has nicer throttle response than FZ1 (less aggressive)
FZS1000 has tubular frame, FZ1 has Di Cast Alli frame
FZS1000 has 21 litre tank capacity, FZ1 has little 18 litre capacity.
FZ1 has more power than FZS1000 (about 6hp difference)
FZS1000 is slightly higher and longer than FZ1.
The bikes def look similar but feel very different.
FZ1 is def sportier. It has a more rigid frame, stiffer springs and wider bars, lighter weight, and being shorter turns in a bit better.
However, the FZS1000 is faster than the FZ1 in both acceleration on 0-60 and standing 1/4 mile and it has higher top speed.
I have both bike - but have converted the FZS1000 into a full on track bike. I have given it stiffer springs, clip-on handlebars, stripped all unnecessary elctrics such as lights and clocks (I've put in a smaller rev counter, ditched the seat for a much lighter foam pad, and adapted fairing and pulled the suspension through theyoked 10mm. . It is now lighter than the FZ1, sportier springs making the extra acceleration and top speed count, lower and shorter..
