The ES models are only available in red, I kinda like the cool looking white ones.
Red doesn't match anything does it? oh well

Someone with a white will jump at the chance to have red, if you're willing to meet and swap parts. If all else fails, there's paint. It's only 5 parts.

Matches my 2014 FJR perfectly. :D I seen one the other day at the dealership and the red looks great on the Tenere, but I agree with you about the white being a cool Tenere color. I like mine. ;D

Buy the plastics and tank from a Yamaha Parts.com business... and sell yours.

I rode with a White 2014 ES on New years day. I like it.

Some good suggestions, or you could have the bodywork "wrapped".

OR it may grow on you. When I got my '13 as a leftover I wanted white or blue but all they had was the grey; my least favorite and absolute last choice in colors. Over the few months I've owned it, its grown on me and I actually have come to like it…

I'll trade you my Stealth 2014 tank (as new)for the Red 2015 any time. Seems the Red is only the tank now where as before it included the front fender too.

Yes. Saw the 2015 Silver/Blue ES yesterday. Not for me. I find it over the top with blue wheels, blue forks and blue seat.

I ordered a 2015 in silver and blue, couldn't get behind the red.
I've seen that colour option in the bike press, I don't think we're getting it in the UK but it looks good to me ::008::

Looks like no blue ES in the US but the silver/blue base model is beautiful. No over the top blue forks or wheels. I like the red ones also, very nice and overdue color changes.

I inquired about that colour it's called Race Blu, I kinda like it, but my dealer showed me a 125cc bike in that colour with the blue forks and wheels
It's a satin finish and feels pretty rough to the touch.
Apparently you can't polish it :'(

My dealer, Niehaus Cycle Sales just got in a red 2015 standard and have an ES coming in the same color. Looks decent to me. Probably 2nd only to the white. ;D

I just purchased a red 2015 S10 and really like the color. Very cool looking with the black parts on the rest of the bike!

I like the red as well. It actually looks better in person than the pictures Yamaha sent out earlier.

I like the new red too, but I think it would look even better if Yamaha had put the same retro Team Yamaha graphics on like they did on the blue 2014s. I love this look!

For about $36, those can be added to the red 15.
