I moved from a 2013 to a 14 ES and I am having less back problems with the new bars. I only have 1500 km or 915 miles on it so I am almost done break-in but so far I have to agree the new motor is better. It seems to spin up faster, the fuel delivery is better, more power and a little smoother. I am still not sure about the electronic suspension and I am not crazy about the matte paint. I really enjoyed the 13 and hopefully the 14 will be all the 13 was and more. I am a little disappointed in the new windshield. I am 6 ft 4 and still get a lot of buffeting. I am thinking about a MRA X-screen add-on. Has anybody tried one?
I just added the MRA X-Screen to my 2014 ES factory windshield this afternoon.Excellent product, love that you can adjust it down for around town and higher for highway riding. For the little amount I used it today, I'm impressed. I will add a more thorough report once I have some miles on it. I am 6'1" and wasn't happy with buffeting from the stock shield. Kirbyb you should definitely add the wind deflectors, big improvement.Kirbyb said:

Lost is my destination.
3k miles seems time to do an update. In short, the love affair continues. Other than a somewhat wiggly screen/GPS I really can't say a cross word about this bike. It's every bit the machine the '12 is with further polish. I'll never be without a Super Tenere going forward and am appreciating my new found love for electronic suspension. It's really quite something to have the ability to adapt to various circumstances with such ease and precision. Given that a worse than average winter left most roads in my region in varying degrees of disrepair it even comes in handy taming tarmac. Just a good arrow to have in the quiver.
It starts and runs great. Just as with the '12, the more time it has on it the more character it reveals.
Noted engine stalls while rapidly decelerating are becoming more rare which is a very welcome thing.
Responsiveness is spry and a bit more eager than the '12.
Mileage is good at 45.9, about identical to the '12 w/CJM.
The dash has definitely grown on me. I enjoy it's clean, monolithic, and austere style. It's quickly and easily read.
Just as with the '12 I'm avoiding a strong temptation to put aggressive rubber on it and ride it as "the biggest dirt bike in the world" ™Snakebitten. Healing isn't what it used to be.
Going to the Adirondacks and Vermont this week and am really looking forward to a nice time in the mountains on the most versatile and reliable machine I've ever owned.

Forgot what the difference is between old and new bars. Less sweep? Higher and further back?Kirbyb said:
