Hi,
1st welcome to the funny forum and no its not like the 'funny farm'.
2nd. I have ridden both the M1100 and the M1100S. In riding terms there's not alot of difference between them. You can get the suspension equally setup on either, some say the M1100 is better in this way rather than all the blingy bits.
If you bought the M1100 the extra £750 could help you buy Termi's, but if you wanted Termi's anyway buy the M1100S.
However late last year I bought the M1100S in Red simply because of A) It was a great deal at the price and B) it looked a better bike with the Gold wheels, and forks. Yes you get some carbons bits too and tbh you'll make plenty of changes over time anyway I guess. As you say the difference is only £750 quid and yes I'd buy the 1100S if thats all it is..
Your now in a corundrum which to buy ????????
