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.

so what if they melt the 4 headlight partially back into 2?

1) I rarely know how fast I'm going, I go more by feel than anything.
2) Nothing beats watching that dial climb as you pump through the gears.
3) Standing there looking at it - analog looks "faster"... or more high performance to me...
