I am assuming that there is no power difference, only a delay in the delivery of the power. In "S", it's all about RIGHT NOW. In "T" it's more like "in a minute". Taking off from stand still in "T" feels like I have a low tire. RC nailed it, everybody's muscle memory makes you twist the throttle in a certain way. FI is way different than carbs. "S" is way different than the average FI system. I love that I don't have to twist the throttle in "S". I barely have to move it, and she does exactly what I want her to do. Tanere, I don't think it matters "S" or "T" with that much highway miles. City driving is where you're going to love or hate it. It's also the best place to re-cal your wrist. It forces your muscles to get a new memory. For the record, in case you couldn't tell, I can't remember the last time I used "T"; too sluggish.
