Nice to hear the S3 is trackable. My wife and I have done several trackdays with STT at Jennings in North Florida. I'm thinking of selling my RC51 which has been my track bike to this point (my wife rides the SV650S). We can't do enough track days for me to justify a track-only bike as we both work permanent weekends. And when given the choice of taking the S3 or the RC on the street, at this point I don't see myself choosing the RC primarily for comfort reasons. I just want to wait until I've had more time on the S3 before committing. I haven't worked on the suspension at all (and can't believe the Owner's manual says rear spring preload isn't owner adjustable), but the bike is definitely a little squirrelly at greater lean angles. I haven't decided if it's the suspension or the tires but I can feel them squirming quite a bit. The RC is rock stable (full Ohlins, Sportec M1's) and fully trustworthy. I just don't trust the S3 at this point when ridden hard. I am also one of the people who complained about the mushy brakes and hope to have a chance to bleed them soon. The bike is currently in for it's 1st service and I asked the mechanic to give me his opinion of them. I'm difinitely looking forward to taking the S3 to the track but don't see it happening anytime soon.
