Nice looking machines. If I may, I have a question for you about the 14r. My son has one of those beasts (a white one like yours) and it has been one of my 2017 goals to ride the thing and do a second gear full throttle pull from around 20mph to redline. My son says that should get me to just over 100mph. I've ridden the thing "normally" and it seems like a sweet, very smooth, well behaved machine. So, tell me, how does the acceleration compare to our H-D's? What am I really in store for? Do I get to see the face of God? :-) My son says it pulls hard but the traction/wheelie control keeps things well in hand. I trust him but I'd like to hear from a guy like you that has both H-D and 14r experience. Thanks.

You better hang on if you do a full pull in second, and expect the front tire to start lifting. Anything over 6000 rpm's, power changes drastically. My 14 was one one the best handling bike I ever owned (for a big bike). And I had it lowered and put risers on handle bars for comfort. This bike will run low 9s in the quarter mile. So yes, there is no comparison to a Harley. I think they are running 197 hp to rear wheels. So be carefull with the throttle. Also you can control power level and traction control level. But to get the full effect, keep power level at F (full) and traction at 1, you will get a little slip but not much. Be careful and have fun.
