The ST-RS is super light. I think it's about 166kg dry.
The Multi is lighter than many bikes in its class but I think the wet weight is close to 230kg. It didn't feel that when moving at decent pace but regardless of that you do know a bike is heavy at slower speed and when stopping and moving away at junctions

That’s my only criticism of the Multi too Duke, it’s a big lump to move push about and negotiate very slow speeds in car parks etc. as you say, once you’re underway it’s no an issue. It’s one of the reasons I got the GB, I use that for my town runs as it’s the size of a bicycle
Happiness is not a destination. It is a way of life.

That's a massive 26kg lighter than the s3 at 192kg dry.
To be fair for me the 016 is great, I take it easy in the wet though as they do waggle their tail if its pouring its wet but nowhere near as bad as the Supercorsas. So I can only imagine the latest tech being better and better.
Next year I will be in position for new tyres and I will have to decide. They are a huge expense and huge commitment choosing the right ones. I have no issue if they only last a season but it has to be able to inspire and give you confidence. It sounds like these S21s do both
The mileage is supposed to be very good on the s21, Rossgo and I only paid £162 instead of nearly £300 for supercorsa so worth a try. Initial impression is s21 is probably a better road tyre than the Supercorsa as suit to more conditions and more neutral feel on turn with very good stability.

Jeez was it really that amount in difference on price, that's a huge difference to be honest. I'll be honest that's why I went for the BT016. The tyre guy said they were a good price and good tyre. I literally have no issues with the Battlelax range. I'm not surprised you are enjoying the S21. A neutral turn in I'd good for the road but I do tend to like the more sportier feel of a quicker sharper turn in. I'm going to guess the S21 is on par with the M7RR in terms of turn in and probably even grip - we all know how good the M7RR are to use.
They don't turn in quickly tbh and the s3 is quite a slow steering bike in nature, but fortunately it has wide bars to assist.
The turn in, imo is more neutral and more a progressive roll in (if thaty makes sense) which is how I m finding the bike likes to be ridden. Its not an aggressive steering bike so the s21 really suit it, although they may not be as good on a supersport bike I dont know.
now I know.
I bought a standard socket on Ebay for a lot less too 
hence why I purchased an impact socket.
