I would have to echo previous comments that I think the 13 looks better. That said the 14 was drawing a lot of attention and still an amazing looking bike. The bike was in the sunlight when I saw it. The color might be slightly different but still has a metallic shine under sunlight.
Like most I really liked the dual pipes. I also like the new style of the seat and the matching side covers. I didnt really care for the big tank, the all silver engine and wheels. The tank looks really tall where it meets the seat, gives it kind of a hump backed look. I could live with the silver engine but the all silver wheels look plain. It's a shame they didn't go with the spoke wheels shown in early pics.
It is still a sweet looking bike. For those with deposits down, I don't think you will be dissapointed. I wish I could magically transplant the pipes and 6th gear onto my 13!
Man, I'm glad they didn't offer spokes on the 2014, ( Saved me a bunch of $$$
If they had offered spokes I would have to have one.
