- The one XL1200 model year is not verified, which needs a check against the maker's own document, which the row names, and an engine figure; it names its source below.
Some Yamaha numbers are measured sizes rather than the number in the model name: a GP760 is held as 753, a GP1200R as 1131, a GP1300R as 1296. None of these figures has been checked against a Yamaha document unless a cited source states it.
Not your year? For other XL1200 years: XL1200 Limited, 1999 to 2000.
