I took an S3 for a test ride once. Even though I loved the power, the upright seating position would have driven me nuts. I'd have had to throw a lot of money into clip-ons (or Clubmans) and rearsets. (Not that I mind throwing money at a bike. :-D )
That's exactly how I felt just sitting on a Speed Triple. Nice bike, awful seating position. In addition to the bars, I would have actually also needed to replace the seat with one that doesn't have the butt-hugging contour because I found that the edge of the contour was exactly where I wanted to sit. The place you're "supposed" to sit is too far forward and too cramped for me.
