Beat me to it Russ! I was going to say "Hold on"!!!
Go for it and don't look back. Motorcycle riding is a personal choice and you should follow your heart. I picked up a 650R along with my vulcan and I don't regret it a bit. it's fun to be able to be more aggressive in the curves!
As for the C14, there have been reports of plusses and minuses as compared to others, but I doubt you'll regret it for a minute!
