Why is it for sale?Seen it on e-bay w/ an opening bid of 40k.......

really whatz it under on ebay

Been there and didn't find it.

Search for GP 1200 not GP1200R

IT's Gone!! quick, some one must have stole it! Call the cops

Nope here it is... 87 MPH GPR

Sure, it may be a world record, but not an e-bay record. E-bay is home to many 100mph+ late 80's Tigersharks as well as some 115mph Seadoos. It's true, I see them daily.

-GT

yup the DREAMMACHINE'S


synthetic 2 cycle oil, bump up the octain to 99 to 100, and smooth water you
get 6 mph (Wlexc@centurytel.neT)

THAT WAS ONE GUY'S REPLY WHEN I ASKED WHAT HE HAD DONE TO HIS SKI WHEN HE SAID IT DOES 70MPH EBAY DREAMER'S

A bit rich for my blood but still quite nice. I would hae definately put the old SLX out to pasture had that been under the christmas tree!!!

That ski is breathtaking........wait had to wipe the tear from my eye.Wait the wife's coming can't let her see this(she thinks she's breathtaking)

I heard a little rumor that it was blown up after it hit the world record. Hopefully it will still get close to 87mph, I would be very upset if I spent 39,500 and it didn't perform!!!

History

This watercraft was specially built by the Riva Yamaha Race Department in Pompano Beach, Florida for the specific purpose of breaking the Personal Watercraft World Speed Record. This goal was accomplished on July 5, 2002 by owner/rider Forrest Smith in Savannah Georgia at an APBA sanctioned event and the record was accepted by the Guinness Book of World Records. The craft has achieved speeds in excess of 87.5 MPH as do***ented by Watercraft World Magazine January 2002 issue. The unit is based in Pompano Beach, Florida at Riva Yamaha pending sale and shipment.


Description

Starting with a new 2001 Yamaha GP1200R, the unit was stripped down and built from the ground up with the latest racing and speed components by Riva Yamaha Factory Racing's head tuner, the legendary Tim Judge. The 1400cc/270 HP engine package features triple exhaust system, 48mm racing carbs and a total loss ignition. A tremendous weight savings was achieved by replacing all hardware with titanium fasteners and utilizing a carbon fiber hood and seat assembly. Unit is painted Factory Yamaha Racing Blue and carries the original sponsor decals from the World Record Run.
