I'm looking at the two, it just looks like just a few carbon fiber parts here and there but I just want to get the experts input

-> Suspension (Marzocchi vs. Electronic Öhlins)
-> Wheels (Alloy vs. forged Alloy)
-> Controls (None vs. auxiliary buttons on the handlebar (DTC, DWC and EBC))
-> Lightning (Standard vs. All LED)
-> Style (Plastic vs. carbon front fender)

All 1299 have color dash...

If I recall correctly, same goes for 1199 vs 1199s

Except the handlebar controls which are new for the 1299s...

Electronics package is the same too, aside from the suspension? All the same goodies between models?

Definitely couldn't make a 1299 into a 1299s for the $5k price difference. But you could definitely upgrade a base into a more track-oriented bike for $5k.

ASM outlined all of the differences between the models.
