The 13s and possibly very early 14s had tune issues, DI seal issues, etc. While many may have proven relieable it's not worth the risk IMO (I have a first build MY13 and consider it a ticking time bomb). If buying used just make sure it is an April 2013 build date (change was in March). AT there is no real difference between zenki and kouki, but the kouki MT did see a power bump and got a shorter final drive so it feels a lot different. It also got better dampers iirc.
