Well..... euro motorsports in north scottsdale put on a demo day today and I went up to give the S3 a ride and see if I really do want to get one.

Well.... After taking it for a hearty spin.... I will be purchasing one right after the first of the year guarenteed! Loved the bike! Exactly the thing im looking for.

BUT.... I dont look for things and take them at face value. It must me modified!

The few things I did not like about the bike and I will change immediatly will first be the suspension. While tight with a fairly good ride.... The bike dives too much and too quick when I hit the front break! If its gonna dive.... I want it to be firm and controlled! So a revalve will be in order for the forks..... and since I'd be in there.... might as well change the springs out ont eh front... possibly the rear as well. depends how it looks after setting race sag. (I weigh 250.... bigger springs are usually called for.... anyone know a good source?)

Also, the exhaust. Change it out to something with a DEEP hearty tone. The kind of tone that rumbles womens panties off at 50 yards! With the 1050cc engine.... I know it has the potential! Any exhaust choices to consider?

reason I mention these things is because I will most likely have them done before I even take delivery of the bike.... may be able too work a good price on it by doing it all at once.

Overall... I still give the bike 2 thumbs up! :-D
