seems a convenience but the scout in me would perfer to be-prepared. Maybe the guy that made the decision to leave off was thinkin these would be used exclusively in the woods and not needed. ::025::

My son's naked Hyosung 650 has both flash-to-pass and emergency flashers, and that was 1/3 the cost of the S10. Just sayin.

:D Hysungs Korean isn't it? Guess they're doing all they can to add value and increase market share.

This Euro. spec. Tenere was on the demo. circuit last summer in Canada. It was at the dealer I bought my bike from and I noticed it had the high beam flash and hazards. Picked my bike up a week later and suprise, none of the above. Pointed it out to the salesman and they weren't aware the Canadian spec. bikes didn't come with them.
Was told later by the dealer that Yamaha wasn't required to have them so not available.
Asked about getting it and they tracked down the Euro. version left switch cluster about $165.00. A little more than I would like to pay for something the other guys include.
Having had them on the DL1000 I do miss the high beam flash feature, and having the hazards gives a little more safety for those unexpected roadside pulloffs.
Overall a small oversight on an otherwise very good bike C:)
There is an Euro. spec gray and a blue and silver just north of Toronto, if someone wants to ride a S10 before purchasing one you can, go to this Yamaha school and take a lesson, they may ask you to ride a 250cc first http://www.cmts.org/adventureTours.aspx
The guy was telling me at the Toronto motorcycle show that he was stopped by a cop once in 2010 or 2011, the cop liked it and wanted to know were he had bought the bike.
