Looks like the C14 has had several improvements for 2010. The air flow looks completely different, which should correct the heat problem. If it proves successful, the C14 will be a force to be reckoned with.

But on the other hand, if a FJR1400 actually materializes, the rules of the game will have been changed. If a FJR14 comes with a totally new design, the C14 will most likely remain in the back seat as long as FJR changes don't have an adverse effect on its handling characteristics.

I didn't care for the original lines of the C14 when it first came out. It looked too plastic-ally and spacey. The new C14 looks real, with much better lines.

 
and then bought a FJR?
Could be me, I had a 05 FJR, bought a 08 C14, and then I bought a 08 FJR.

What were the reasons for axing the C14 for the FJR?

I have a friend torn between the C14 and FJR and thought this would be a good resource for him.

Is there an estimated Time line on the FJR 14?
