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.  |
My S is my first (and only) bike. I found it to be OK. The good thing is the wind
protection, the bad thing is the stress on the back. If you think your back can take
it go for the S.
I am now 50 but in due course (when I am 60?) I will probably get a bike with
a more upright riding position.
