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 |

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 |
