1100s

[R2]

Congrats! How's that dry clutch?

It's not as forgiving as the wet slipper on the 696, but I rev matched on bikes before the 696 so it wasn't a big change for me.  The clutch engages a lot sooner than on the 696 but that only took a few minutes to get used to.  I can't wait to put an open clutch cover and new pressure plate on it though.  The power delivery and suspension/handling are the biggest most noticeable improvements.  I have only had the bike for a day and ~100 miles, but so far I have no complaints...the 1100s is superior to the 696 in every way.

when im due for an upgrade... i was considering either a s4rs or a m1100s... i love the classic styling and more power from the s4rs but i like how the m1100s is aircooled.

Either way, i would get a white tank with a red frame.  thats the only requirement for sure.

I don't want to jump the OPs thread, but since Spidey asked...BTW, I rode it to Zeitgeist Thursday. I just didn't advertise I got it. Still stock for now. But will put my CRG LS mirrors on soon. The stock ones vibrate way too much!

I'm dumb. Posted 2 of the same pix. Too lazy to delete it. This was the 3rd angle I wanted to post. Oh, I also took off the bikini fairing. It's cool that the 1100S comes with 2 covers (bikini fairing and the one that just covers the back).

Great looking bikes.  I'd love to upgrade my S2R, but there's that nagging little problem w/ not enough dinero at the moment.  It'll have to wait until next year.   Congrats!!!!

Later

Pics or the bikes don't exist. 

I'm begining to think that Spidey's lack of trust in some of us newer members that he should contemplate changing his name to "Doubting Thomas"

Get that rear subframe painted to match the trellis. 

[sfarchie]

That subframe does make a difference. I think..


Hope you don't mind that I played with your image a bit.

Don't mind at all! Thanks, that actually looks kinda cool!

Does Arrow make a kit yet?  Or better yet boom tubes.

Also, unless you have intentions on riding 2 up you need to get rid of the hideous stock rearsets. Duc Pond fabbed up a set for the challenge that IMHO made a huge difference framing up the rear wheel.

I got it last night...they are gone now, just not when I took the pictures.

next comes:

levers
clutch cover / pressure plate / ss springs
exhaust as soon as a few more options come out.  I had termis on my last one but thinking of maybe trying something different.  Any suggestions?

[DucHead]

Wow, that red subframe looks great!!  I'm sure someone will do this soon.

I really like the look of the new 1100.   [moto]

...but it does need a round headlight.

Congrats on the 1100S guys - they look great! I like the red best though
