Priceless!
You guys are right about the power differences. It probably won't make a damn bit of difference to me in that regard.
From a modding standpoint (luggage & exhaust), the Hayabusa wins out, I think. There's no denying the vast number of addons available for it. I do dool over that new 14R though!
The 14R sits you more upright than the Hayabusa. The pegs are lower; the bars are higher. Probably not enough of a difference to matter, especially when you consider that higher bars and lower pegs are available for both bikes.
I may put bar risers on, but I'll probably leave the pegs as-is.
