On a short week long trip out BC way and stopped in to a Yamaha Dealer in Vernon. Big mistake. Left with a new 14 ES. Hate the color. Gray primer but the deal was just too good to resist. My old blue 2012 S10 had 58,000km/36,000 miles on it and my local dealer told me to get lost basically. These guys wanted my trade and offered me more than I could sell privately and knocked off $1500. off the new bike. Like I said, too good to resist. Was holding out originally for a Standard blue 2014 but no one had any. Must say the ride home was enjoyable. Not sure how to describe the new ride other than much more refined, more power, smoother and just a hell of a lot nicer overall. Many extras compared to the old. Love the cruise control. Still checking out the ESA. Only 600kms so far but seems to be getting better mileage and that's not babying it. They installed my titanium Leo Vince off big blue but now I have to go shopping for crash guards, skid plate, maybe a windshield. The stocker is brutal but I also salvaged my Madstad and have it installed even though its not the right one for the 2014. Very happy so far.
