I am sure a 1200 will climb a tree but how does it boondock? Is it at least manageable?
How is their fuel economy? I realize it will not be great but is everyday only a half day due to fuel?
Just day dreaming about a couple motor options for myself. Neither of which will ever happen.
Thanks

I think the WC tripple boondocks better than the twins mainly because of the power! IT OVERCOMES THE LITTLE BIT OF EXTRA WEIGHT
I went on a long trip saturday, with 2.5 gallons extra and the stock edge tank, I was the same as all the rmk 8's and MC 9's I rode with
DO IT! you wont regret it!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been debating a Carl's Cycle 910 or possibly one of these. I guess on this thread the general consensus would be the WC Tripple huh
If your wife is made of the right stuff she understand this problem.............tell your wife that this **** works better than VIAGRA on most men...........maybe she give you two of them..........
910 would be a bit cheaper/easier, but its a custom aftermarket motor, more finacky, harder to get pistons/cyls and such if you squeek it. I have a buddy going through this problem right now with his BMP prostock 700, two+ weeks out to get pistons! I like going to a dealer and picking up parts, plus the 910 wont run even close to a 1200, and we all know the reputation the 910 has!
Once the WC is done you will rarely have a problem if its done correctly, I have a friend with 10-12K miles on his 1050!!!! Two sets of pistons for prevenative mait.!

theres 2 1200s in our group. another friend built a 910 last year and now hes going to be adding another 910 cylinder on it. 1365...so if the guy that built the 910 to roll with the 1200s is doing a 1365 this summer, well that should tell ya right there.
3 is better than 2
3 is better than 2
LOL...bringin' the wood to the octagon...
Ok it;s real
I just got my 1200 done and have went on two rides,it;s in an edge chassis and i will be able to handle this just fine. at first i thought to heavy but now, oh yeah baby. fuel is a problem if your on the grip alot for sure. 33 percent more than an 800. Oh baby i love this thing. i had a 910 for three seasons and it was the stuff but now it;s a whole new game And oh GAME ON

Wow, that is impressive.
Just a little side note here about a 1200's little brother. BB 800, we were fooling around the other day and sent (3) M 1000's packing home.
Drag racing. Heads up with standing starts, rolling starts etc. No matter what they did, they could not even begin to run with the 8 hundy. Long live the BB motors, 2 or three holes!!!!
I think if you are going to compare gas consumption to the 800, I use about 3-4 more gallons than the twins, but I only have to take on pull at the hill, when the twins have to take half a dozen or so. Now if you are going to take pull for pull, you are gonna be empty in a few hours and all you buddies on twins are gonna be PIST..
I wouldnt waste your money on the 910. and putting a 1365 together is gonna be serious extra case work.. I would have some better studs made if it was my project, seen way to many broken cylinder studs for my likings. 290 hp 1365 would be wicked though...

Are you guys runnin a T-Stat? I am with the weep hole opened up a bit but it seems that going down the groomed trail I can hit 160-170 fairly quick? Im having an issue with the track im running not flipping much snow on the coolers which is most of the problem, im running a full length U-Cooler but no bulkhead cooler, if theres any pow its 140 all day long, just wondering what everyone else is doing?
