motorcycle reviews: Yamaha Honda Suzuki Kawasaki BMW Harley Davidson Aprilia Ducati Triumph KTM Hyosung |
To compare the technical specifications and features of Ducati Multistrada 1200S and Yamaha Fazer FZ-1 is a good way to find out which one of these motorcycles will better match your style and requirements. When trying to make your mind on the next motorcycle, your personal levels of comfort should be the leading criteria. The long personal list of favourite motorcycle models can be narrowed to just a few ones after comparing their pictures and technical specifications. Then these bikes in question could be best explored on the road where handling, performance and comfort of sitting position can be best felt in action.
The bigger engine size of Ducati Multistrada 1200S in comparison to Yamaha Fazer FZ-1 doesn't mean that it is more powerful or better performing bike. Both bikes has the same compression ratio of 11.5:1. This ratio is the relation of the volume in the cylinder when the piston is at the bottom of the stroke to the volume in the cylinder when the gas is compressed and the piston is at the top of the stroke. The bike with a better fuel economy is the Yamaha Fazer FZ-1 which can travel 37.6 miles with one gallon of fuel. Ducati Multistrada 1200S on the contrary can travel 37.3 miles with a gallon. Miles per gallon (mpg) is one way of describing the fuel economy of a motorcycle and liters per 100 kilometers (l/100km) is another. ![]() As per the data sheets Ducati Multistrada 1200S has a bigger ground clearance (140mm) than Yamaha Fazer FZ-1 (135mm). The distance between the chassis and the base of the tyre is called ride height or also ground clearance of a motorcycle and is usually given in millimeters in the technical specifications. To say it shortly, this is the smallest of the measures between the road surface and any mechanical part of the motorcycle. Yamaha Fazer FZ-1 is the bike with higher tested top speed (246km/h). On the other side Ducati Multistrada 1200S can achieve speed of 233km/h on the highway. However sources may vary as to whether these top speed parameters are precise or only approximate. ![]() Those two motorcycle use the same cooling system - liquid. Compared to the air cooled motorcycles the liquid cooled ones have a very narrow range of working temperatures. Keeping the operating temperature at a very narrow range allows many engine components to be optimised for these temperatures. The coolant is circulating into the radiator and back to the engine driven by the water pump. The temperature is kept at a relatively constant level by a thermostat which turns on a fan to draw more air over the radiator if needed. Water jackets in a liquid cooled engine act as sound insulators and make it quieter. ![]() Compression ratio - this parameter refers to how the cylinder's space changes from when the piston is down at its lowest point to when the piston is up at its highest point in the stroke. As mentioned in the information of their technical data the values of the compression ratios are 11.5:1 for Ducati Multistrada 1200S and 11.5:1 for Yamaha Fazer FZ-1. This is actually the relation between the biggest and the smallest capacity of the combustion chamber. Higher compression ratio means bigger pressure of the fuel/air mix in the combustion chamber and better efficiency achieved of its ignition. The good quality of the engine oil is an important factor in keeping the motorcycle in peak condition. There are different types at different prices on the market - mineral, highperformance, all-purpose part-synthetic and synthetic oil. The oil is usually to be changed after 6000km (3700 miles) after the previous oil change. The quality of the synthetic oil allows up to 5000 miles (8000 km) between oil changes. Depending on the oil filter it needs to be replaced on each or every two oil changes. The technical specs show that the Ducati Multistrada 1200S takes 3.9 litres of engine oil while the oil capacity of Yamaha Fazer FZ-1 is 3.7 litres. This oil capacity values are with informative purpose only. Pouring exactly the proper amount of oil needed is achieved by observing the level sight window or the dipstick marks. |
