I'm thinking about an S3T.I've been riding S2's for 14 years.Any thoughts about the differences,positive or negative?

I've heard you ride on an S3 and in an S2, but I've only ever ridden an S2 as far as Buells go. I wouldn't turn down an S3 though cuz they look like a great tourer.

Michael, I've got an awesome S3 with all the 3T goodies.
Check my posting in the classifieds. I'm not too far from you either.

Kevin,thanks for the offer but I'm interested in a specific color combo and I'm not a big fan of PM wheels.Looks like a nice bike though.

S2 positive...no sensors, better fueling via carb, hand built at the factory!

S2 negative...not enough of them around any more

There is a reason why I call it "my pretty bike"

I have a 95 S2 and a 99 S3T. Love them both, but they are quite different. The 2 is not a touring version and has the low bars and high pegs; not very comfortable. It runs better overall than the 3 but is not as powerful. The 2 is dead sexy to look at. The 3 is much, much more comfortable and better on longer days in the saddle. Both are clean examples and get lots of looks. If I had to give one up, it would be a very difficult decision. The 3 was my first and would probs be my choice due to the comfort and all the luggage. If the 2 was a touring version with as much comfort and luggage as the 3, I'd probs take it.

In my opinion, you can't go wrong with either, if you get a good one!

I've got an S3T and an S2 with S3t bags... Love them both!!! If you find yourself in DC area while sorting your decision, shoot me a note, I'll let you ride both and you can decide!!

Lucky enough to have puts lots of miles on both (and a Ulysses). S2 is my favorite and the Ulysses the most reliable, but I feel the S3 is the best all around bike I've owned. If you're concerned about fuel injection (and you shouldn't be) get a '97 or '98.

David that's a great offer.I road a couple of S3's back in 2000-2001,when I bought my first S2,but did't put enough miles on them to compare.I also have an '04 Moto Guzzi V11 Sport Ballabio,so no issues with fuel injection.

I have both of them , the S3t is at carburator ,
The différence is that the S2t with the large saddle bag is much heavier and bigger than the S3t ,
The S3t is much easy to ride ,
I can t make à choice , they are Very different and both of them are Nice looking ; )
