Hey there everyone. I am looking at getting an '07 S3 this week. It is white (from what I have heard, they are the fastest!) w/ 2K on the clock. It was laid over very lightly and has a few scratches on it here and there. I am pretty excited as I am getting a good deal on it. I have been lurking on here for the last week or so filling my head with all kinds of stuff. I can't really find anything bad to say about the S3. I love everything about these even though I have never riden one. It looks like a blast to ride.

Currently I have a '99 Ducati 996S that I love. I am looking at a daily "rider" and that is why I have chosen the S3.

There are only a few things the bike needs to make look better for now, a fender, bar ends, a seat cowl because the seat is torn, and the alternator cover. It also needs a clutch lever but I will get that when I go pick it up. Other than that the bike is good. I really can't wait to go get it. I will post some pics when I get it.

HEY! THAT ALL SOUNDS GREAT! But you've been mis-informed. Roulette Green is the fastest. Check oth the one in Florida for sale on FleaBay right now. It's a green 07 with alot of goods on it. I don't know what the dude's reserve $ is at but it has one 5k bid right now. Woman will like you better if you ride a green on too.

If you add a racing stripe, you will get 3hp more power too.

I bought my 06 (used) without ever riding one and haven't regreted it for one second. You'll enjoy it I'm sure.

Pazzo Levers if you need to get new....IMO

Just got home.... with my "new" S3!!:elated:
I got a good deal on it. We put the clutch lever on it and I took it for a ride. WOW! This thing is sweet. It has a ton of power. The roads were wet from rain so I couldn't ride like I wanted, but I still had fun on it. I almost wheelied it several times. I am sure it won't be the last.
I really think that the white ones are the fastest after getting on this thing
I stopped on the way home to get an oil filter and I told the guy I wanted a carbon fender for the front and he said he had some that he was sending back because nobody bought them. He gave me a great deal on it. I really can't wait to take it out and really ride it. Tomorrow I will.
I will post some pics of it soon.

Sorry to inform that Black is *still* the fastest colour. White is IIRC the most aerodynamic on account of white reflecting light/heat better but it's only felt above 200mph. That's hayabusa country.


Kudos!

Well, I am legal to ride the S3 now. Got tags for it. I got some pics of it. I have a fender eliminator in the mail to get rid of all that plastic crap on the tail. I had to order an alternator cover because this one is leaking a small amount. It has some JB Weld on it but it's not sealed completely. I cleaned the bike up a bit and lubed the chain.

I put almost 100mi on it today and enjoyed all of them. This thing is a blast to ride. It's way more fun than I thought it would be. I almost threw myself off the back of it a few times. It was interesting to say the least. I couldn't get the smile off my face the whole day.

It's gonna be hard to choose between the S3 and my 996 when I pick it up from the shop.

Get her some frame sliders. Can't stand a triple without them. Heaven knows why!

Noted. I plan on it.
