the earlier 1200's did have stator issues, but most likely all the bad stators have long been replaced.... the aspencade has more do-dads.... so I would just look closely to look at condition
the 1200 is a mighty fine bike
and then, regardless, there are things I would do before riding.... change all the fluids (including brake and clucth... re-grease the splines at the rear wheel/drive, and change the timing belts
