Default What "realistic" bike has the coolest instrument cluster?

By "realistic", I mean "less than $20,000", so no super one of a kind rare deals here.

Anyway, what bike do you think has the coolest looking or simply the best instrument cluster? I'm partial to anything that has a gear indicator, myself.

Not even close to faux carbon, nor is it supposed to be. Carbon doesn't blend or fade like that. Take a closer look.

I think kawasakis have the most futuristic looking cluster, but their fuel injection sounds horrible.
