One other thing to think about is riding position. I think the riding position is more upright on the S compared to the SR. If a person is short, they will have to do more stretching to get to the handlebars too which puts you more into a racing position. Some people like that, some don't, which is another reason to test ride an SR and an S if possible. If not possible, at least have the salesman hold the front of the bike steady so you can get on it and assume the riding position to see what you think. More than once, I have bought bikes I hadn't ridden only to find out within the first 30 seconds there was something I did not like about it.

Good point about riding position, I really didn't think of that since they look so much a like. Can anyone else clarify this? Is the riding position more in a racing position on the SR compared to the S? I am a short person and would have to stretch more if that were the case.

I know that they keep improving these bikes, but I REALLY want one now and hope that I don't buy one only to wish that I had waited until the 2016 model. I really wish I knew what to expect so I can make a decision to buy now or wait another year. If it is only minor tweaks I could care less, but if it was something really cool I would be disappointed, since they cost an arm & a leg so not like I can just go buy another one. I really wanted the ABS so I think I might just have to take a chance that next years won't be that much better,
