Some styles grow on you and some you grow away from. I liked the C14 styling at first but after putting pictures of it side be side with the FJR I feel distance from it. I also don't think it will compare in style with the bags off, especially from the left. There will no exhaust to balance out the bulky look to the fairing. I am glad they came out with it though, as it will give a choice in the Super Sport Touring arena. Those biased heavily tword touring will favor the ST1300. Those with an equal foot in the touring and sport doors will favor the BMW or the FJR. Those that love life above 6,000 rpm may get siphoned off to the C14. My insurance agent would love that!
