I guess the better engine is a close call as the R1 engine is excellent with almost any amount of power available at any RPM while still very controlable. This can seem a little bland on the road as don't need to make any effort as at most speed several different gears are fine.

I prefer the delivery of the 749 it just seems a touch more controlable, but that may just be because of the lower overall power. It does seem smother when coming back onto the power from a closed throttle.

Of course the ST3 is a different engine, so I guess you should to get a test ride booked and see what you think.
