Episode 7 of Motorcycle Experience on TSN

hree years after launching their current generation�s Super Tenere, Yamaha revised their top of the line ES with some thoughtful upgrades that totally enhanced what was already a well respected big bore adventure touring package.  In the engine department, horsepower was bumped a few ponies, while real world comfort was addressed by adding a tool-less adjustable windscreen, heated grips, and two position seat.  But the biggest improvement on this generation Tenere definitely comes through on the electronic management side of the equation.  With the ES version, you now get on the fly electric traffic suspension adjustment.  Out on the highway, no problem, soften it up for comfort.  Hitting the gravel?  No problem there either; with the touch of a button you can stiffen up the suspension for better control.  The ES also has a new cruise control system, two switchable engine power delivery maps, along with a three mode traction control system.  And there�s ABS.  Lots of bells and whistles to be sure!

Also this week, the pride of the OPP tackles a slalom course in the snow. While on this week�s Ultimate Ride we head out for our ultimate destination from St. Anne des Monts in Quebec. Then, during our winging-it segment, touring expert Ken Edick requests a luggage upgrade before taking flight.  And shifting gears editor Jenn Martin takes a closer look at exhaust system advancements.

Don't forget to add our 2nd annual Wings Over The County event to your calendar.  We'll be hosting the Gold Wing themed event at Hillier Creek Estates winery our homebase in Prince Edward County so mark your calendars for September 26.  For more details check outmotorcycleexperience.ca
