Get the 14.... a few improvements over the 13 and it's the current 'look' Better resale....I paid 12700 for my 2015....

 

I have the 2013 Special Edition and I love it. I like the 3rd generation look more than the 4th gen.

 

Not to hijack the thread .. What's that seat you got there?

2014's are selling for $8999 (usd) locally, at that price I'd go with a gen4.

 

I was going to say I like the looks of my 15 better than the 13, but looks is a totally personal thing..... I was trying to be subjective to actual reasons other than looks. But here's a shameless photo of my black 15

I really like the front half of the gen4, but the tail just doesn't do it for me. I wish I could have a gen4 front and a gen3 rear, lol!

 

Thanks for sharing your opinion! But does someone have tried both version and can tell me if the 10hp, brembo brakes and led lights worth the difference of 3350$cad ?

 

I have owned both mate. The LED headlight is the best headlight I have ever used on a motorcycle. Its that bright you see it lighting up the road during the day. I have a 14 now. There is a little difference between the 2 bikes as the forks are different, shock linkage, ecu etc etc. Bang for buck I would go with the 14 as I do like the look and the updates have refined what is really a good bike anyway. Either one you will enjoy and have a grin from ear to ear when riding ccasion:

 

I think my wallet won't like me, but my heart will!:dontknow:

 

the 2010-2013 is fine.. i would like the 2014 for seat height and riding position, as im short lol..
there's also ready to buy upgrades for the 2010-2013 (performance) but anyway whatever you like better.. also i thought the 6th gear of the 2014 was better than the 2013 for touring.. if somebody wanted to trade my 2010 (with all upgrades) with a 2014 i would

here's mine though its a 2010

Lookin sexy Kobi

 

I like the look of the 3rd gen better, especially in Orange. However, I've never ridden one, but have ridden a '14 and absolutely love the sound it makes.

 

From what I can tell:

2013 = Available Parts

2014+ = New look / refreshed hardware, but much less parts


Just an observation..

3B

 

Aftermarket parts are starting to pop up everywhere now for the 14 guy's. I certainly wouldn't let that stand in the way of buying a 14 over the 13. Just comes down to personal preference really...

 

Agreed, comes down to your budget, and honestly more important is what are you going to be happy riding on? Get what you like.

 

Why not buy a 2010 or a 2011 with a few miles on it and save yourself a lot of money?



No sense in buying a 2013 over a 2010. It's the same bike.

 

I have a k12 and i really love it,lots of mods available and if you want more punch Ivan as what it take to unlesh the beast !!

Tu peux avoir de meilleur deals sur les 2012-2013 usagé a cause de la sortie de la derniere generation,attention le monde abuse aussi sur le prix au printemps ici.

 

What BS about Ivan,sorry. as it stands with the 14 you do full system, PCV which you do with Ivan anyway. Whack on a Ivan FCE and bang 127hp straight to 144hp at the backwheel. Yes a reflash will do wonders too but the latest update for the gen3 took how long.... When he finally gets to the 14 its going to take sometime to produce the end result he has achieved with the 13

 

Ride'm both then decide. The Gen 4 frame is more narrow than the Gen 3 and my 5'9" frame can flat foot the G4. But I have zero issues with my G3 -as far as that goes.

Looks? ...you either luv the new look or hate it.

If it comes down to $, ask yourself if you will be happy with the G3 when you pull up along side the G4

I luv my G3. Won't sell or trade for nuttin

I thought the frame was the same between the 3rd and 4th gen.

Except for the subframe.

 

and of course unless ivan trades his 2012 ninja 1000 to a 2015 then we sure be rolling lol

 

14 for sure.
I don't even like the 15's color scheme.

I'd totally get the all black, but they don't have it here in the US.. only the green.. :dontknow:

 

Kobi, I know you love your new bike but i'm sorry. The headlight looks like a cockroach. Of course, the gen three looks like an ant heads pincers.

 

Lol your imagination is too much.. of course my 3rd gen in the 2nd page of this thread looks cooler on what i did to it.. but function wise, ride ergo, performance i vote for the new one..

 

Cockroach?

 

cockroach?

rotflmao!!!

 

haha!^^

 

^^^WHAAA? lol

 

I heard narrow. I think I read it in a bike mag.

Either way, when you sit on a G4, you can really tell the difference.

 

Its made for shorter riders i think.. but tall people can use it too because there is enough leg room.. just handle bar for the taller crowd is too close for them when sitting on gen 4 i believe. The bike is perfect for myself imo..
Just like the suzuki ss bikes they have narrow midsection so easy to put both feet.. yamha esp r6 i was in tripod.. zx10r even is no exception..
