Actually if you want/need the front in dialed in you should bring your to NKY and drop it off for the summer. I'll dial it in for you for FREE!!!!

This thread- while interesting- is not really helping me decide between the 2.

As a former955 sprint owner I know that system very well and I love the torquey trip.

I am no track star just looking for general mischief maker since pure fun is impossible on the GSA.

The tupno calls me also.

Sounds like once you dial in the T you should be set?

I've got an early '07 Tuono (gloss silver/grey/black) and an '06 Speed Triple. To my eyes the Tuono has a much higher level of fit ,finish,and materials. The Aprilia's fueling is not as good as the S3's but not one of my twins ('98 SuperHawk, '07 Bimota Delirio DS1000, and '08 SuperDuke) is as smooth and glitch free. Stock vs. stock the Tuono has better brakes, suspension, and chassis. IF my riding involved stop-n-go and heavy traffic the S3 would be my choice over any of my V-twins. On the endless backroads up here in the mountains they're all satisfying.

I fiddled with the suspension a little bit and it turns in much better and feels more planted.  Not perfect but much better.  
The engine is pretty amazing.  There is a whole other world awaiting past 7000rpm. Bigsmile
