I had an immediate interest in the 1250BP as soon as it was announced . I was racing a 125 hp short shaft and the BP was the new legal FJ motor since it had a shiftable gearcase.
I purchased one as soon as I could. I loved the way the motor performed. I did everything better compared to my 1250 short shaft.
Plus it looked racy in appearance and sounded even racier . I liked the way the water dumped out of the big exhaust exit.
