I'm giving serious consideration to selling my R1 and buying a more upright yet still rapid bike, and amongst many others I've looked at the S3 seems to tick all the boxes.
I would particularly like a 2010 model with chrome headlights (especially an SE or 15th Anniversary model) as I'm not so keen on the later plastic headlights and I think the performance should be more than enough for a Sunday scratch/commute/short tour. I'm keeping my GSA for more lengthy tours.
Has anyone got any experience of the 1050 engined speed triple, both good and bad? Is long-term reliability an issue ??
I'd also like to do a few mods like quickshifter, arrow system, slipper clutch, remap and suspension setup to make it fit/work how I want it.
