    2018 model

    I saw a price listed at a dealers online the other day at £14,999:00 which considering all the accessories added is a saving in many respects but still a lot of anyones cash.

    2018's on the Yamaha site now

    I must say that I prefer the matt colours of the plastic, front mudguard and front forks which I think suit the adventure style of the S10, but each to their own. I think I will be ordering the blue / matt black version when I trade in my Falco in the spring.

    Has anyone else experienced arthritis?

    I am changing to a S10 from Aprilia Falco due to the extreme pain I get at the back of the left leg after about an hour of riding. I thought the pain I was experiencing was bad enough but it sounds nothing compared to some of you fellas. I'm nearly 55 but am not in to the medication bracket...

    Ride Magazine Review of the 2017ZE (UK)

    I read the article the day after a test ride on an S10 and I must agree with what Simon Weir wrote. It is extremely comfortable and such an easy bike to ride. I too am surprised there are not more S10's on the roads; particularly given their reputation for reliability. Cannot wait to own one...

    How Difficult Can It Be ????

    Cheers Ken, I have some money coming to me in the Autumn so will be in the fortunate position of being able to pick a bike of my choosing. So although I will have to wait a few months longer I am prepared to do that. My Falco more than meets my needs at the moment but I will...

    How Difficult Can It Be ????

    Right everyone, here's what I think after my 2 hour introduction to the S10. Seating position was extremely comfortable and all the switches in easy to reach and easy to use places. Cruise control was as simple to use as you could possibly get. On the left side of the...

    How Difficult Can It Be ????

    Yes, the bike above is the one I should be riding tomorrow morning. Hope the weather stays fine for the ride. I am really looking forward to riding it and comparing it to the Explorer XRT i rode last Friday. I'll update you after tomorrows ride.

    How Difficult Can It Be ????

    Thanks for all the replies folks. I am off work next Saturday so intend to ride up to Norwich and test ride a 2014 Non ES version. I don't know the Norwich area that well but hopefully I'll get a couple of hours to get the feel of the bike. I'll let you know how I get on.

    Ride Mag bigs up S10 for once!

    I'll get a copy and give it a read. Good to hear it's still on the journals radar as it is often overlooked.

    How Difficult Can It Be ????

    One of the dealers have found a used 2014 (Non ES) bike in Norwich (60 miles away) so I am trying to jack up a test ride with them. I will let you know how I get on.

    How Difficult Can It Be ????

    Morning One and All, I am in the market for a new bike and have begun to sort out test rides. Have ridden some of the competition to the S10 and have been impressed by the levels of comfort and handling available. However, I have been in contact with a couple of...
