And let's not forget two things about the new ZX's instruments:

1. The LED tach is much brighter than any LCD display.
2. The LEDs can be programmed to flash at any point the rider chooses, negating the need to actively watch what the tach is displaying - just shift when the LEDs are blinking, which will be all but impossible to miss.

The companies have gone to these displays because they are cheaper, not better.

Well if they go to these displays and people hate them then it's money saved in the wrong place.

Replacing a gauge display with an aftermarket can run big money.
