I also ride a T100 and agree with Matt's assessment. I found that the biggest difference between the two are the ergos . . . I'm much more comfortable with the SM's forward controls and drag bars. When I ride the T100, I find that my wrists tire more easily and my legs get crampy. On long stretches I simply move my feet to the passenger pegs and that helps alot. Oh yea, the T100's seat is a brick for sure! The T100 with it's stock 18T sprocket really pumps up the top end; the bike is very flickable (and beautiful in opal/tangerine).
