I second everything crudmop said about twins (nice choice on bikes, by the way). Even with much less power than the S3, the Falco feels faster because of the immediate torque launch and the fact that you can feel the individual power pulses (probably also has something to do with not being out of break in yet). Exhaust note is fantastic as well.

I only have a little experience on I4s, but I didn't really like 'em much. Felt like I was riding a blender. There's much less torque down low than with the twin or trip and while they vibrate less, it seems to be in a more annoying frequency band. That said, the sheer amount of HP produced by the modern I4 sportbikes is amazing, so I can see the attraction. However, if you own an S3, you probably pride yourself on individuality, so I'd say resist the cookie cutter GSXRs and go with the twin. You won't be sorry.
