1199s, 2012 or 2013

If you plan on doing those mods, than I think go with the R. Too close for price wise I would think, if money isn't too big of an issue.

Well I thought with a new dealership opening up in Calgary that I might save more money going here,,,NOT!!!!
So I guess that leaves me with Argyl, finally decided on getting the S but after seeing the R up close in person,,,,,, I'm confused again,lol

Oh does argyll actually have an R there?

Put them on paper side by side and write down what you will spend on the S with in the first year on carbon stuff and pipes.... If it doesn't make it close to the R just get the S. You won't believe how it rails thru the clover leafs lol. Can't wait to take it to stratotech.

Yes they did, but I believe the guy who purchased it was picking it up today/tomorrow?
Yeah I know, if you add it all up, what you would spend on an S your probably better off getting the R. But getting the S and seeing the changes over time would make it more personal and has a cool factor to it as well. The more I think about it the more I'm leaning towards the S and there is also 7000 other reasons I can think of as well, lol!

The "S" is an awesome bike even without any mods whatsoever

It's now in my garage.

Argyll may not have budged on price, but they did install my Termi for free and I found the charcoal canister in the box with the stock exhaust. I didn't ask them to do any of that. They just freed up my weekend!

Awesome! Congrats man... Let us know what you think. Your probably one of the first in Canada to have one...

Well guys after a months worth of research and going to the dealer 2/3 times a week to see and sit on the bikes, I thought I was getting a S. But on Saturday I took my youngest son with me to my dealer to look at the bikes yet again and to buy him a new helmet. Well I sat on the Pani and then the BMW 1000rr, I got off the bike and told my kid to sit on it so that I could get a pic of him, he tells me he likes the SK1 better. I sit back on the bike and another customer is walking by and says "looks good on you". Well I was considering this bike before and it was my initial pick before the looks and sound of the Pani made me switch, but it's been a good number of years since my last street bike (cbr 600 F3) and for the last 5 years I have been playing in the dirt. Last year I traded in my 08 KTM 450 xc-f or a 12 KTM 300xc. So this bike will primarily be used on the street unless I get hooked on the track, but even then with work and my family it won't leave much time for it and our stupid short riding season! Of the 2 bikes from what everybody says the SK1 is the more forgiving of the 2 and makes for a better street bike. which is why I asked my sales guy when I was sitting on as to "how many more Tri colors he had coming in" and he said "none" so I say to him "sold, write it up" he had a surprised look on his face as he too thought I was going with the Pani. I'm not ruling the Pani completely out, just for the next year or two I need to get some time in on the saddle and maybe then I will add a Pani to my garage!!! I want to say thanks again to all you guys for your feedback, take care, Jay
