Not too many people in this forum are paying sticker for a C-14. So the dealer eats over half of the depreciation.
Is $14,200 out the door a great deal, good deal, about right, or a bad deal? $13,200 before tax and license.
I am down to the wire and making my decision

14200 is a good deal . i have seen them lower and tried to get one at that price only to find out it was bullshit. you got a good deal buy the bike.
I suppose that I would be happy with either, but possibly for different reasons. Any insight you could add would be valued.
Well, today was the day I was going to buy a motorcycle...
I took both the R1200RT and the C14 out on test rides along the same stretch of roads. In my opinion, the bikes are totally different; the C14 clearly sporty, while the RT more tour oriented. There was a surprising amount of wind noise on the C14 along with upper body heat (that surprised me, had not read about that in 2011). But the power and smoothness the bike has is contagious and makes you have to have the bike!
I rode the RT and fell in love. It is quiet, comfortable, has plenty of power, and handles well.
Truly I could not decide which to buy. So I bought both!!
