    Looks very photoshopped. Any major differences from the 14 Anniversary model?

    Sorry ol bonez - but it doesn't look photoshopped at all on the source file. It's a professionally staged and lit image.
    111mb when opened the file is.

    Livery - black forks, wheel trims and other small touches.

    The image has no doubt had some photoshop help, but it is not a digital creation.

    I interpret it's 'photoshopped' to mean bogus/artificially created. almost all professional images have psd 'help' now.

    hey I like the screen, but every one to there own I guess.

    Really the only difference to a standard one is the belly pan fly screen and a graphics kit, and I see a exhust heat sheld in there that aint standard. Black forks are now standard on this years 08-09 model.

    I do like tho

    For the record Qkkid was in my bed, not the other way round

    I reckon S3's are enhanced by what you take off them or minimalise via bling.

    looks like black braided brake lines (vs the standard silver), and possibly new radiator fairing end cap thing as well

    Some guys like them. They don't make any difference to me.

    Likey,likey..lots.
    As for the fly screen...my S4 has a pixie hat and a Laminar flyscreen which helped a lot when I had the original clip-ons. Now that I have the flat bar conversion (similar to S3) the wind blast is in completely the wrong place. Word is from other S4 owners is that if you take of the pixie hat completely the windflow is much better. I am going to play with this over Xmas break.
