I don't care if the bike is pink with purple polka dot dicks and the exhaust sounds like Rebecca Black's Friday. If that fucker puts out 250hp then I'm game. You won't see it anyways as I come by on the rear wheel at 180mph.

Doesn't look bad, but why do all the Sport tourer bikes go with analog speedo and tach? I really prefer a digital speedo.

I believe in this case it is so you can actually get a sense of the speedo moving. Instead of it being a blur then flashing 299.

Too much bike for me

idk, I like the digital one on the Buell. Granted, it's all I've ever had, as the SV is also digital.
When I rode the Sprint, I never knew how fast I was going, too hard to find the speed on the dial. Maybe after you get used to it so you know that 55 is at 10 o'clock etc it would be easier...
