what is the difference between the GP1200 and the GP1200R

[Bryan Glynn]

Absolutely everything - totally different.

The GP1200 weighs 525 pounds and accelerates faster and is more fun (my opinion)
The GP1200R weighs 672 pounds but has a higher top speed and is better in rough
water. You will need to try them both and decide which you like.

I have a 99 XL1200LTD, with the 1200R, its a 3 seater with all the power you need. The question should be, 2 or 3 Seater.
