I'd say it's the exhaust. The stock cans are heavy times 2.AzBob_imp said:
I like the silver motor choice, I hope they clear coated it. If they did I might get one and convert it all over.

Running like a top
I believe the ABS adds to the DLX weight as well.

Stock = Heavy.
That extra weight would appear to be somewhat of a catch-22. In some of the testing of the EX model that came out of Europe, while the range increased due to the larger tank, the gain in fuel efficiency that should have resulted from the sixth gear was negated by the extra weight.
The 2014 standard model on the other hand should see an increase in fuel efficiency due to the addition of the 6th gear (I'm assuming both models will get the extra gear) without the additional weight.
Still, if I were drawn to the 2014 DLX model, I doubt that the extra weight would scare me off. I'd simply ask the dealer if I could wheel the bike around in the showroom or parking lot to get a feel for how much difference it makes in moving the bike around.

Well not sure if i am the first, but I believe I've worked out a deal with my dealer on a 14 Deluxe. Just need to discuss with Mrs Ferret tonight. She already said ok by text, just need to go over the details with her. Projected delivery date March 27 th.
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

I would think most of the extra weight is from the exhaust, down low. Maybe not such a bad thing. It matters not to me...I am SO getting one! Woo Hoo!:excited:

Holy WOW, Congrats. That's awesome!The ferret_imp said:
Let me know if your motor is clearcoated, I like the silver.

Yea i like the silver too. I always said the CB 1100 reminded me of my favorite bike of all time, my 77 KZ 1000B. The 2014, even more so.
I think I'm relieved not to have to make the choice, although I suspect I'd be sticking with the 2011 CB I have.
BTW, the engine on the Australian models has always been silver.

Is the 6th gear an overdrive gear for sure? I didn't know if the ratio specs are posted anywhere yet. I was hoping the 6th gear isn't the same ratio as the 5th gear on the 2013 with the other 5 gears spaced accordingly.

Yes first 5 gears are exactly the same as 13, new 6 th is an overdrive

Woo Hoo! Now, does the black Standard model come with the 6 speed for sure? The ambiguous spec sheet makes me wonder.The ferret_imp said:
