I posted up a similar review on another thread - but, I wholeheartedly agree, this bike has completely reinvented my love for riding.
In all of my experiences on sportbikes and the like, nothing has ever felt as confidence inspiring, flicky, sporty and fun as this damned s3. So SO easy to throw into a corner, the power is great, tires/suspension lock in really well when you commit - it's like the perfect amalagmation. I knew I'd like it a lot, but had no idea it would bring back the giddyness and fun feeling I had when I threw a leg over a bike for the first time. As soon as I get off, I am looking for reasons to go back out again
As for styling - I had a Falco for a while, and that always turned heads when I pulled into a parking lot - most people didn't know what to make of it, and hadn't seen many of them, so it was a strange thing to see. This new s3 - it appeals to EVERYONE. The sportbike guys all love the holligany look, and the harley guys love the tough stance. Every single time I pull into our local hang out, the bike gets a crowd of 5-10 people who just circle around it and marvel at it's beauty

Pretty damned great.
I think this bike will cure cancer too. I heard a few guys saying their balls stopped itching once they looked at it. And, I hear there's no more fighting in Iraq cause they saw a picture of a speed triple. :-D
