S3=Fun Ride
By (I am an Owner) on Oct 30, 2008I now have over 12000 miles on my '06 Speed Triple and have had no problems with the bike-However I have a problem; the bike is so responsive and fun that I can't stop showing off!
The S3 has a very favorable HP to weight ratio and the short wheelbase makes it handle quickly.
On the ... negative side, the seat is very uncomfortable.
I think the S3 is a great value and compares with MV and Aprila

The White Stripper
By (I am an Owner) on Oct 11, 2008I have owned my S3 for 4 months now and have over 4,000 miles on it. Coming from a 1980 Honda CB900C, this bike feels monstrously powerful both in the engine and in the brakes. The suspension is never overwhelmed and is fully adjustable. Even after 4 hours in the saddle, I am always ready for ... more. On the bad side, the stock seat is an instrument of torture and requires replacement. The only problems I have had are related to corrosion on the battery terminals and the connector to the radiator fan. This is mostly due to my riding in all kinds of weather and not thoroughly drying the bike afterwords. I would highly recommend this bike for someone who wants a powerful motor, all day comfort, and something exclusive without the high buy-in cost of Ducati or MV Augusta's.
