I've owned an M1100 since November. I test rode an M796 and an M1100S. Personally I prefer the look of the M1100 because I’m not that partial to gold coloured stuff.
At the first service a couple of weeks ago I had the suspension set up at Pro Twins. That has made a big difference. Before it was harsh and choppy and I had no confidence going into corners because if I hit a bump the front would skip and momentarily lose grip. Since the setup it’s nice and smooth. I can feel the road and the front tyre stays in contact with the tarmac and isn’t upset by bumps. That has given me much more confidence in the corners. I can now work on getting rid of the last 5mm of chicken strip on the rear tyre.
After only riding for one year I wouldn’t have thought that the extra cost of the M1100S would be particularly noticeable when you ride it. However the resale value of the M1100S will always be more than the M1100.
