They are completely different skis. 1997-1999 GP1200, 2000+ GP1200R.

Right but as in a 98 gp1200 is there an 'R' version or are people just saying they have an 'R'?

There was no GP1200R until 2000. There was a special edition by Riva, called the GPR1200 that was based on the GP1200, but it was only for racing. I would imagine people are just ignorant about their model if they have a 1997-1999 and say they have an 'R'.

good deal. thanks. So how fast does an average 98 gp1200 go? Mine tops out at 57. It will not go any faster.

That's about right for stock. 57-58 was about it. It's a tough ski to mod for top-speed, it's really made for low-end and jumping.

Yes i was wondering why my buddies 800 GSX was hanging pretty good with me. I am kinda dissapointed w/ that. But i read your thread about the 70+ mph capability. How much does that run $ approx.?

Re: Gp1200/1200r?

I don't recall where I said 70+ - that takes a ton of mods. 65 is a lot easier for a couple grand.

Re: Gp1200/1200r?

wow, so its probably better just to buy a faster ski

If top speed is your thing, yeah. The GP1200 was never meant as a top speed ski. Leave that to the 1300R, Ultra150, RXP, etc.

It's not an 'r version'. As I said they are completely different skis! Two different models with similar names - that's it!
