Do we actually know if Yamaha have actually made any new XT1200s since 2020? For any market? Strikes me they probably made a few thousand last models for all markets, distributed them around the world, and once all sold thats it. Here in the uk the dealer I bought mine from told me they bought the entire stock from Yamaha Uk, 80 odd bikes, all of which had to be registered by the end of 20. They then outed them at cracking prices, hence they‘re all gone.
If in other country’s there was no need to register for emmisions regs etc, then there was no need to clear them out, or sell as bargains, hence there’s still some left. But from the sound of it, even these are getting scarse. No new colour schemes adds to this theory. I reckon if you’re thinking of upgrading to a new one, I’d crack on and get it done, cos I reckon there won’t be too many new ones left anywhere. He who hesitates………
