Flying Low: Yamaha GP 1200

Author: BRETT BECKER
Few things rival a good hole-shot to get the blood pumping, and the Yamaha has enough grunt to make you feel as if you're being shot out of a cannon.

Yamaha Motorcycle Why? The GP 1200 has the same horsepower (135) as other boats, and even a few less than two of the models tested, but the Yamaha was one of the fastest to 30 mph. Speed and power down low in the rpm range is the easiest to feel and distinguish. It's also the most fun.

Motorcycle For Sale For starters, the Yamaha is the only machine in our roundup with a mechanical trim, called the Quick Shift Trim System, which is great but it has one shortcoming. Because it's mechanical, the rider clicks it into the exact position desired. Muscle memory in your wrist tells you where the trim is without having to take your eyes from your surroundings. With electrical trim systems, it's possible to overshoot the position you want. Then you have to correct it, which leads your eyes from the water ahead to the gauge directly in front of you. However, because of the thrust of the water blasting out the nozzle, this system can be difficult to operate at full throttle - especially if you're trying to click it into the uppermost position. Usually, you have to lift off the throttle to snag that last position. Otherwise, all other trim positions are a click away.

Motorcycles With all its torque and blistering initial acceleration, the GP1200 is probably one of the most fun to ride. Though its seat position could be lower, it's comfortable and easy to adjust to. It's reasonably light and easy enough to toss around all day, but it's still refined enough to do some touring. The patented Visibility Spout - a stream of water that shoots from the rear platform - makes the Yamaha the easiest watercraft to spot. And that's not always easy, especially when the sun is low in the sky.
