i assume you know visually, mechanically susp set up is a bit diff, engine wise same power. . S2 being more refined all round susp/comfort wise, slightly bigger brakes whcih can be ugraded on either model, S2 has a slightly larger flywheel for smoother gearchange, to put it simply

Default S1 Not S2

That’s easy. Next time you see a S2 look around you and see how many other people are looking at it.
Then do the same with a S1.
I think your notice a difference.

Or ask anyone how has owned a S1 and a S2 and ask them which they prefer

S1 wins all day long.

ones a S1 and ones a S2,


sorry, bit lame,
the S2 have a heated front screen and better brakes,
i have put s2 calipers on mine, the engine is slighly different,
the inlet manifold is different and s2 turbos are water cooled whereas the
s1 are not,
