I ve never noticed either, then again I don�t spend much time looking at the clocks!

I had the same thought when reading the original post.

Well, yes, I never see the RPM on my RS as I choose the other display option. The RPM does not really matter on a big twin. Mostly, I am only interested in my current speed in the largest LCD digits, fuel range and occasionally the ambient temperature. The analogue speedo is useless especially when needing to keep below a penalty threshold.

I found the analogue speedo very good once I got used to it. I now have a seat of the pants, 4th gear 60 mph, 2nd/3rd gear 30mph feeling that means the speedo is mainly redundant too.

I am the same with all 3 vehicles in the fleet, but it is always reassuring to glance down as you go past a speed camera to acknowledge, "fuck, I am good at this malarkey."

Some of the things the clocks do on the R1200 make me think the programmer had way too much time on their hands. I can't imagine how many lines of code it took to make the thing work.

Likely 2 ... check if the revs are past the closest display number and if true change fontsize of closest display number. My other bike changes the colour of the band for the rev gauge depending on the acceleration rate (I guess, its explained somewhere but I can't be bothered to go check). That probably take a bit more code but probably not by much.

But point well taken about bit weight.

So, is there anything else I should look out for?
