I'll say! It's a little scary how that one section was down to the cords, and most of the rest of tire was just "very well worn." Like the chain, always best to check in several places.

Mine's a 2013 non-ABS. So very similar to yours, but maybe center stand is different on '14 standard?

I'm surprised by the tight clearance between the tire and center stand.

I just switched to 17" wheels and put 180 wide Angel GT's on my and I still had a full finger width+ clearance.

I have the standard model (4 into 1 exhaust and no ABS).

Now that I am looking at a photo of my rear tire I can see that my chain adjuster is more than halfway extended due to the smaller front sprocket and older chain.

Maybe that is why I have more clearance at the moment. My tire edge is behind the center stand as opposed to right next to it. Now I'm curious to know what is going to happen when I replace my chain.

Of course, always good to look around the whole tire for wear, not just one spot...

Krikey!

So those lasted 'till around 33,470.

So, from 25,900 to 33,500 is about 7,600 miles. A good deal less than the BT54 rears before it, but a bit more track time and spirited riding. Still, the BT54 at 13,000 for the rear was a lot more durable.
New rear installed,

And again, a tight fit to the center stand with this wider profile rear tire.

Let's see how this one does.
