New for 2014:
For 2014,
the 1199cc twin features a new cylinder head design, new piston, and new exhaust for a modest increase in horsepower and torque that makes for an even more exciting engine character with more pulling power. The adjustments also result in stronger and smoother acceleration.
Drive Mode has been recalibrated to provide more noticeable difference between the T setting and the S setting.
Cruise control adjusts speed via a single push to the switch or, for larger adjustments, by continuously pushing the switch. Application of the brakes, clutch or throttle automatically releases the cruise control function. There is also a resume function that returns the cruise control to the most recent setting.
The turn signals are now LED, adding to the overall visual appeal of the motorcycle.
A new accessory/navigation mounting bar has been added above the speedometer for rider convenience.
The ES gets heated grips along with the electronic suspension.
