Speed Triple To become a true icon is no easy feat. But from its very first incarnation over a decade ago the Speed Triple assumed just that status, mixing a primal three-cylinder core with sporting ability and an aggressive, stripped-down stance.

Some just don't get it Schaden. I came to this site after being recommended from Rennlist, a Porsche forum. My RSV-R is at about 150 +/- at the crank and around 420 wet. I'd say I'm still ahead of 2008 600's. A new ZX-10 will blow my doors off in a straight line, but only people in the desert drive in grids. The northeast has A LOT of curves!

I think it boils down to what do you want. Both bikes are great. I think the Tuono is a little more visually refined, while the S3 is more raw.

Both will have high giggle factors.
