Congratulations Shane.
I hope you weren't too shocked when you realised the new black is "shiney"

I think bug guts and and a general lack of washing will address that, if I find it looks too nice. 
It looks similar to my '07 Diablo Black Metallic, but I need to see it in the sunlight.

Very exciting! Did you ever sell your 15xx cc motor?
Nope. I'll probably keep that motor for my race bike.
I don't want to do anything internally to the 14R, it should make pleny of power for street/strip riding. I want to have fun, less troubles.

I think it looks like our 07's but maybe you can get a shot of them side by side. Congrats!............

My local dealer isn't getting any until Jan either. But they also have 2 or 3 new Busa's and other leftover bikes sitting on the floor. I am not sure how all of that inventory/taxes/etc stuff works.

Off of the trailer, and out of the rain...
After looking at it a little more...I just love it. I really missed having a street 14. They kept the basic lines intact, and didn't go overboard. It also puts into perspective just how good the 1st gen 14 is....these are all awesome bikes!

I like it! I will see it in the bright sunlight on Sunday. They are calling for 42 and clear conditions! Time to seek out mile #1....

Just got off of the phone with John at Cycle World in NJ. Deposit placed, to pick this up Weds morning:
Of course, it isn't mine until Weds, when I trade off my '11 Busa. Fingers crossed that it all comes together. The Busa is a sweetheart, but I love Kaws. Wish me luck.
Shane
I like the way that Diller position the 14 in front of that Busa, the probably is, it will never be that close at the track. LOL.
