What do the rest of you think to this? I really miss the digital dash on the R6.

Also what toys would you like Santa to bring you? :)

Personally, and coming from an ex-R6 owner too.... I have to say....

No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no. What on earth are you thinking?! The quality clocks on the Dukes look and suit the whole feel of the bike.

Just my opinion mind....

As you say its your opinion and thanks for the reply. Anyone else?

LCD dashes look great, until you try reading them in bright sunlight. Analogue clocks are so retro, and retro's still cool right now.

But if there's one going cheap, I'll try it out for you :)

Ahhhh yes Mr Fatduke....you've seen it in this thread here (http://217.199.188.40/xmb/viewthread.php?tid=10792#pid89200)

But....you will note that although others made the link between Tacho and Taco, it was me that made the connection back from Taco to Tacho through the lateral thinking and shape recognition skills of somebody that is quite....deranged...

So, the joke is by Jools from an original idea by Jools, I'm just recycling it for all it's worth. Nuffink wrong with that Delboy Trotter has been doing the same jokes for years on the telly!

:rodent::"Errrr Jools, he doesn't tell the same jokes, it's the program that's repeated"

Jools: "Repeated...."

:rodent::"Yes, Jools the program is recorded and they repeat it over and over"

Jools:"You mean to say that almost everything I see on telly is a repeat??? What the hell do I pay my license fee for?"

:rodent::"You may well ask...."

oh and no no no no no dont buy the tacho, the needle shifting all the way around the clocks are classic ducati so dont do it, lcd's are only fun if you switch to km's instead of miles
