Hi Dave and welcome. I know some have said the leg position was a bit tight, but not for me.
I'm 6'0, 33" inseam, and 34/35" arm measurements. I actually have no complaints about the leg room, but even with my longish arms I feel I'm reaching a tiny bit too far for the handlebars. Nothing really uncomfortable, just has me thinking about it. I've only put about 700 miles on the bike so far, so I'm still very much learning and adjusting and won't make any decision on bar risers yet.
I'd say you need a test ride, but even a 10 minute test ride won't tell you the whole story of the bike.
As far as the '13 vs.'14 goes, I actually liked the look of the '13 and that's what I bought. I was wondering if I would regret not getting the '14 and it's speed trans, but have not once felt I needed it. Also, buying the '13 with 574 miles on it probably saved me over 3 thousand, which is nothing to sneeze at.
