Congrats on the 2014!
The 2014 does resemble the KZ, particularly the aluminum engine and 4 into 2's. Makes sense, I can see why you are drawn to it.

Deanohh, my dealer is a Honda/Yamaha dealer and he has 5 FZ-09s on the floor including the orange one (which IS very cool btw) however, he has yet to sell one. He has sold 5 CB's including the one I bought today. My nephew was interested in one of the FZ-09's until he saw it in person, then he thought it looked cheap and passed on it. My son would like to trade his 04 FZ-1 in on an FZ-09, but having a baby 17 months ago and having just built a house he's going to have to live with his FZ-1 and his orange Ducati Monster for awhile.

Same beautiful red paint in a slightly larger tank
Matching side covers
Retro looking patterned seat
Smaller turn signals
6 speed with over drive
Gear position indicator
Fuel computer
Silver engine
Silver wheels
Repositioned headlight 1" higher
New gauges with wide chrome bands

There is an ominous little disclaimer stating "European model shown", might want to make sure about that aluminum engine.

It does look nice, but I'm in no hurry as I just got my 2013 and waiting for some good weather. Maybe even better things come in 2015, blue and spokes, please.

Actually, I do like the new models, they are very nice. I could live with either of them happily. But....I really like my 2013 a lot, and I can't justify the bath involved in a trade in at this point. I think I am going to wait for the cafe version in a couple of years. Or a CBX? We all can dream.

Bike owner: look at these fenders. They look cheap. And the seat....looks cheap. And the bars.....cheap. And the exhaust....looks cheap. All the plastic stuff.... Really looks cheap
Friend: Well why did you buy it then?
Bike owner: It was cheap!

Yep! See page 3 of this thread—

It is crazy expensive..almost as much as a 14 VFR 800, but the heart wants what the heart wants.
It is about 20 pounds heavy, but its still 150 pounds less than my ST
Some people can't help themselves.
Are you trading or selling the 2013, Ferret?

Yep, an 014 Deluxe
Cormanus...trading the '13 in. Dealer was hot to have it. Also traded in my 400 Majesty he wanted it too. I'm happy with the deal.
