I've looked but can't get it in the Phils. I will have to find a workaround.

They really had no break downs or failures on the Teneres at all. Just a flat tire and a rock punctured oil filter.probably not as many breakdowns as long way round eh?

I am going to go with no. They both appear to be their personal bikes that they have owned for length of time

I am in agreement with you on the blue one. It appears to be a 2018 but with them being located across the pond, who knows what they had available to them.
Just watched the trailer to “highlands and islands” looks good I’ll have to watch the whole thing.

that's fantastic. It's a shame how underrated the super tenere is. The GS gets all the attention, but this is the better bike for the things the GS claims it can do.
It was impressive as hell that one tire, and an oil filter (because of the SW skid plate) were the only failures. Could a GS have held up as well? Who knows. BUT, there were a lot of places that space was limited. Price isn't the only reason that small bikes were everywhere. All the bells & whistles in the world will not get you through some of the traffic that they dealt with. I would not have wanted to deal with the GS's size. The Tenere was bad enough.

Good little series (4 episodes). Well worth watching.
Landscapes were amazing. Roads looked epic. Bikes were impressive.
Hated the voice overs though... especially Alain's.
Also you guys are forgetting the broken bag mount.... not a fault of the S10 but neither was the tire or oil filter.

I don't know. It's always bugged me that the filter is the first thing that will hit. I will concede that if the skid plate was steel, the filter would not have taken the damage. I think the filter should be FJR style. No way to smack that.
Edit: The bag mount wasn't Yamaha. I'm surprised more weld failures didn't occur.

Or if the plate was 1/4” 7075 aluminum it would likely have been fine too. Most plates for the tenere are rock guards rather than actual skid plates.

I'm in Canada. Downloaded it from vimeo.
I wonder if they were using regular low octane gas most of the trip. I have a buddy that never uses premium in his and has 80,000 miles. But he accelerates slow. Also I wonder if they had the size 14 battery for the trip. Too bad they don't have a website about the trip.
