whichever cluster has lights that are visible in direct sunlight is the coolest to me.

Bonus points for a temp gauge with numbers, reliable gas gauge, and no getting partly covered by the windshield (I'm looking at you, TLS).

I'm a practical guy, sue me.

My Z has a pretty cool dash, shows actual temperature and everything is digital. I wish it had an analog tach, but it still works. Never had an issue of not being able to see it in direct sunlight either.

I'm so jealous of your fuel gauge.

Which part? The analog gauges, the idiot lights, or the LCD? (All of which are found on the big four's bikes currently.)

Simple, yes...boring, even more....Ducati 916/748/996/998 setup.

The Koso looks similar to the GSXR dash to me...

Big tach is all that I care about. Gear indicator would be nice.

Damn, that Aprilia looks like something out of a fighter jet.

VFR guages: Big tach front and center; digital speed; coolant and ambient temperature; odometer + two trip meters; gas guage; clock. The only thing it's missing is a gear indicator...
