I know this may seem like a real crazy question BUT

Why does my S1 seem so much more flickable than my S3?

I have been riding the S3 for the past two weeks and tonight I took the S1 out and there is a difference like night and day between the two.

the s1, s2 and s3 all have identical rake, trail, wheelbase and ground clearance.... so it may just be the visual difference, in that you see more of the pavement immediately in front of you (which always gives the illusion of velocity and snappier turning) when you run less fairing.
i removed the elaborate fairing from my s2t many years ago, and immediately it seemed more flickable

Seating position, handlebars, foot position all can make a difference.

Different tires?

M2 also has the same rake and trail. The X1 differ's.

The S3 seems more of a refined ride while the S1 is much more agressive.
