The S1 has better suspension setup, especially the anti rollbar setup on the front.
The engine mounts on the S1 are placed lower and more central to the engine compared to the S2.
The gearbox's mount differently (not certain which way is best)
The S1 and S2 gearbox's have different ratio's
I believe the S1 turbo was not watercooled from standard but the S2 is, but im not 100% certain on this.
The S1 feels more sure footed on the road and the S2 is a softer and more confortable ride..

the s2 in generally a more confotable ride then the s1 and comes with more equipment inside.
You also get a choice of colours
the s1 has more prestige imo and is better setup from the factory to handle lots of power
