I would have to agree with you Nasher.
I had a '98 M900 and the ie is just better by a little bit in every respect.
More power, better brakes and better suspension on the S model, I regularly get 60+mpg too, which is an unexpected bonus.

The seller does not acknowledge that it is an S model as Darren has correctly identified.

It looks as if all the S bits are there except that I can't see the little mudguard extension under the swinging arm, which I don't think most people would even know about?

He seems to be giving a good honest appraisal of the bike, which obviously would need a good check over if bought, as would any new purchase
The headlamp is not original and I can't work out if it's the Bosch lamp in it or a 7". This would probably tie in with the sellers suspicion about an insurance claim and the clock change?

It's heartening to see the staring bid compared to my pristine example, it will be interesting to see what it goes for.
