Embarrassed to ask...

I bought my 2014 used, since it is the red color, can I assume 100% that it is the deluxe model? I see nothing on any paperwork that says that. I'm still learning here, so bear with me. Thanks

If it is indeed a 2014 and red and you got a North American model, yes, it would be a DLX. Your tank shape (larger), the color of the engine (all silver vs blacked out) are also quick and obvious visual indicators.

Thank You COCB1100....I had to be sure before ordering parts or anything.

I forgot to add that the seat is also different, it has texture (stitched) vs the flat black seat of the standard. I believe for 2014, they only sent DLX version red bikes in the U.S. but I'm giving these other indicators in case you bought a bike with a red tank swap. Please confirm it's a DLX for sure before you order parts.

There are about 30 visual diferences between a 2013 std red and a 14 dlx red, and if it is a 14 the silver motor is a dead give away that it's a deluxe

The only bad question is the one that was never asked. Welcome

exhaust ?

The dual exhaust of the Deluxe is the first thing I notice.
