Picked my 2014 up on March 21.  Took it out that Sunday and put 137 miles on it (in 43 degree weather).  WOW... what a quick bike!  Found false neutral between 5th & 6th more times that I want to count.  Also found it in a lower gear once or twice.
ABS - its growing on me and pretty cool.  Learning curve for sure.
Gobs of power!  Seat was surprisingly comfy for a KTM.

Dislikes that I can live with (so far) - front brake line covers speedometer display.  Exhaust on the left side of the bike. 

Need to look into - Gear shifter too short to fit motorcross style boot comfortably

Can't wait for the steering damper and radiator guard to show up!
