ZX14 Rumors

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.

I like analog... I like it 100x better than any other option...

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...

Sport tourers = older customers, and more "traditional"

Also, those bikes are so wide, that they have to fill that space with a wide dashboard with big gauges.
