When I brake the front seems to vibrate a little sometimes. Could this be the brake pads or the rotor? Also when I brake it seems like I have to use quite an excessive force to stop quickly. I thought that sport bikes should be able to stop on a dime, but mine sure doesn't...

Only 14,000km, how long should pads last?

You ought to get someone else to ride you bike or swap bikes with someone with a similar bike to see if there is any difference. Sportbike brakes are awesome in general. You ought to be able to literally stand the bike on the front wheel using only two fingers if the brakes are working properly.
