Hey guys,
From a performance standpoint, is there a difference between the two. If so is it significant? Thoughts?
Thanks,
Eric

We run on dirt in oz, had a 1250 sealed and was great till it blew, then we went to a stock 1200 with carbs and clutch as only mods. We found on a grippy track we struggled to have pull out of corners but on a slick track the power was delivered better and we would be competitive.

The 1250's have an advantage.
That said, I run a 1200. I would rather work on my own stuff than send it 1000 miles away.
You will see the 1250 advantage much more on asphalt than dirt
-
The dyno numbers say no. The 1250 under the current USLC rule book outperforms the 1200. Numbers vary, depends who you ask, what I have seen is about 10h.p less, the torque is where I feel the 1200 lacks under the current rules.

I am just wondering what a 1200 with zero laps on it is worth? I just picked one up from my engine builder and really don't need it, it has top end oiler, alt, starter already on it. What do you guys think a good price is?

Probably not very much, Maybe $500 or so. Ill do you a favor and take it off your hands. ;D
Seriously though. Im seeing refreshed 1200's out this way between $1500 - $2500. Not sure what you would ask for a new one.
-
That is cheap! It looks like it will have a nice sitting spot in the corner of my garage. I would think it would be work double that but maybe I am going crazy from all the rain
-
Although someone once told me you can buy a brand new 1200 from Yahmaha for around $4200. Dont quote me on that.
-
pretty sure you can no longer buy a "NEW" 1200. I believe yamaha only makes the 1250 version now, amd even those you can't just go to a yamaha dealer and buy (unless maybe you live in the UK or Japan)
-
I think you are correct, this was built both top and bottom end
-
I would ask about $3500 to $3900 depending on the builder. If it was a local cycle shop you could prob only get about $2800.
