The rotors on the 1150's don't have the full floating set up.  I was kind of suprised to see that it was omitted but I guess it was a wear item as mine on my 1100 are very loose and flop around at low speeds.

The new bikes use a long cut out pattern in the rotor material to provide a long flexible arm to connect the rotor to the wheel several other makers are doing the same thing.  It apparently provides some forgiveness in the rotar trueness issue but probably not as much as the old systwm.

I would love to know the difference in the allowable rotor flatness of the 1100 Vs the 1150.   I wonder if it is any different.
