I have a friend with a Honda Interceptor (I don't know what it's called in other parts of the world.). It's a V4 with 4 valves per cylinder. Smooth as butta! It seems to be a good compromise between the V2 or I4 argument.
I considered a Honda CBR1100XX before I bought my S3. It was smooth and very fast! In town, it was docile, had linked brakes and a low seat height. On the open road - away from everything - it was a rocket! That I4 was spectacular!
My opinion? I love the I3 of the S3. It has such a unique sound! Besides, the power and torque are just right for me. My S4 is manic. It loves to rev and seems happiest when pushed hard. The S3 just loafs along by comparison. The cops don't pay much attention to my black S3. They love to follow my orange S4. Go figure!
