a big hit with the new technology stick was the Hayabusa ’ s dash cluster . The large analogue tachometer and speedometer gain a fresh visual design with bigger , bolder numbering that improves readability . Raised scale markings around the periphery of each meter use LED lighting to provide a clearer view and faster recognition , both at midday and at night . Carrying the theme of gold-coloured accents throughout the cockpit area , the analogue fuel and coolant temperature gauges that flank the meters are ringed in gold , as are the SDMS and Active Data display screens on the TFT LCD panel . One standout new feature is the TFT LCD panel mounted in the centre , between the two main meters . It displays either the current SDMS-α systems settings or an Active Data display that shows lean angle ( with peak-hold function ), front and rear brake pressure , rate of forward / reverse acceleration , and the current accelerator
position . The panel also shows clock , gear position , odometer , dual trip meter , ambient temperature , instantaneous fuel consumption , riding range , trip time , average fuel consumption , and voltmeter displays .
“ We think the new bike looks stunning , and if the old bikes are anything to go by , it ’ s going to be an absolute hoot to ride . Can ’ t wait ...
