Firstly, welcome! Secondly, is English your 2nd language? That was a tough read. A little punctuation goes a long way IMO.
Never felt the need for a steering damper on the 14, but it can't hurt. Get the Xenon kit from www.ddmtuning.com it is excellent. You will need H11 bulbs, I got the 6000k 55W kit, huge improvement over stock. As far as the 14 vs. 1000rr, they were built for slightly different missions. If your mission is stomping most anything in a straight line while also being able to holding your own in the turns (if you can ride), and you value comfort with speed, look no further than the ZX14.

hello and welcome to the forum. I too always rode Hondas and my last bike before my 14 was a 06 1000rr and though I did love that bike after I bought the zx14 I never even missed it !! and im now on my second 14 its a 2012 and I would never think of going to any other bike, nothing even compares, and for the damper I ride pretty crazy, wheelies all the time low speed and high and never felt like I need a damper, on my 600rr that thing would tank slap you off the bike! the 1000 did have a great damper built in as for the lights im still stock I just don't hardly ride at night,

I guess you guys haven't done any riding on a nice deserted straight away if they still think that!

Welcome, do a search for DDM tuning. They make inexpensive HID kits that are good quality. As far as a damper goes, it's all personal preference and also depends on your riding style. In my humble opinion it's cheap insurance for "shit happens moments". The 14 is ultra stable and very fast, does the bike "need" a damper, no.... But every one of my bikes has one. I had one bad tank slapped years ago and that was all that it took to sell me on them.
Will you miss your CBR? Probably not because the 14 does everything very well. Handling might be a bit slower on the 14 compared to your CBR but it makes up for it in brute straight line power. Good luck.
BTW, google translate works well... As someone mentioned before, punctuation goes a long way.
