i was wondering if the es is worth the extra money and how reliable is it compared to th s model all your help is highly appreciated i plan on purchasing one of those models today or tomarrow thanks alot.

 

It wouldn't be for me. For the long term I would go with the shift model. I am so used to using my foot to shift I would be lost with out a shift lever. Shifting since 69,Chet[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

Get the ES. Can't beat it. instrument panel, speedometer, clock, hourmeter. and the thumb shifting.... COOL. thought i might not be able to use it very well, but i LOVE it. plus you get the full floor boards. that's almost worth the extra money itself. go all the way... get the ES.

 

I have the S Model and like it. I have seen ES in water they have a bad problem with the shifter not working sometimes that is why i didn't get one so i guess it depends on the type of riding you going to do.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
