1.2 means ur pipe positions are all ok.
As stated above 1.2 tend to come with the smaller rads - identifiable by the 1.5-2 inch stilts they sit on.
If you plan on sitting in traffic or doing lots of hi-rev running, a larger rad would be much better - these came in SRs, SRIs, GTEs and GSis.
You may find them in some smaller models (1.4, 1.3 and 1.2s) but generally its the above models.
