I saw that CW mag on the stand and had to see if the S3 was on the list. I was happy to see that it was.

That's all great but I'm really hoping to see a meaty in depth review of the '05 S3 that even compares with the Motorcycle news article that compared the '05 S3 with the other nakeds. The others I've seen really dont have much substance at all; in contrast, as fine a bike as it surely is, everyone cant stop the endless fluffing of the '05 Gixxer.

Nothing but Custom Cruisers on TV and singleminded focus on 600 and 1000cc sportbikes in the Mags with token attention paid to the rest.

Anyhow, enough of my bitchin'

The T.W.O. review is the most in depth, with dyno overlays and extensive side by side comparisons, they also had the most qualified test riders.

Yeah I cant wait for a CW comparo between the reining champ of the naked bikes the FZ1, and the Honda 919. Of course throw in some other bikes like a touno and others.
