S model has clip-on handlebars and a more focused riding position than the naked. I'd imagine this might make the naked more comfortable to ride on longer journeys, and possibly a little more manouverable around town (I've never ridden one so I don't really know). However on motorway blasts, you get better wind protection from the fairing.

My advice - buy whichever one you prefer the look of.
