I've had my S3 at a level one Keith Code school at Firebird. It's a smallish track, so the lack of a fairing was no problem. I'm taking the level 2 class at the end of September (same place, but I hope to take level 3 or 4 at the small track at Willow Springs). If you haven't been on the track yet, I heartily recommend it.

Regards,

Mark G

I took it to jennings if Florida JenningsGP
it was alot of fun I stiffened the suspension a bit from my normal commuting settings, dropped tire pressure to 28 psi rear - 30 psi front.
the tires are great, inspires confidence in the twisties, got 111mph out on the straights, so wind blast wasn't too much of an issue.
For a bone stock bike it did well, I hope we can soon find a intake filter, exhaust system and ECU map the get the beast inside to really break free,

I rode on the TT-circuit Assen in the Netherlands, and had big fun. The S3 wasn't as stabile as my Aprilia RSV Mille, but when I got used to it, it was nearly as fast :-D
My opinion? Just do it!! :wink:
