i guess it gets tricky there...it kind of comes down to whatever the difference between the price of a new 1125cr and the price of an s1 that i can find when i get back from afghanistan...so...i would say roughly 5-6k......just depends on what i spend on the s1

One thing to consider is, no matter how much you spend on the S1, it will never have the power, the weight, the handling, or the braking of the 1125CR.

Nick, you know they say great minds think alike, but it's also a fact that most of the great minds are right here in God's country (Texas) : D.

Also,I have been regeristed on here since 2002, only 3th time posting, there are some really nice and smart people. I am not a smartass, just want to meet people. Had my S-1 for for 11 years. Low mileage just a lot of track time.
