Those two items make very little difference in the function of the CB, especially the pipes, in fact due to the added weight they could be considered a detriment when compared to the performance of the 13.
Most of the changes are valuable only in an aesthetic sense. 5 tenths of a gallon of gas is good for maybe 25 miles if you are not hot dogging. The extra gear in the trans will really only be beneficial to those who do a lot of freeway work and even then the benefit will be minimal and could be equaled I imagine by a $20 front sprocket change if you could find one.
The 13 is more an amalgamation of a bunch of bikes of Hondas past, it's lighter, it's sportier and it looks just as good, as a 14 ... Only different.
I think for those of who are moving from a 13 to a 14, it's mainly to get a different look, one closer to the original 750 or as we remember the original 750 with less homage to other classic Hondas.
