Busa is part TFT. It has a large traditional speedo and rev counter either side.

THE H2 SX SE was full TFT screen only. 

The beauty of a full TFT dash was it was easy to change the display, pick what you want to see, hide what you don't, make it simple and clear, make it a mass of information, it's up to the rider.  It also has multiple options such as Black on white or reverse to white on black etc.    A fixed set TFT wouldn't be great but modern one are so adjustable you can set them up to suit.

TFT dash

When I was looking for a new bike last year & again this year, anything with a TFT dash was an automatic no. The dash should have real dials with moving needles, a small side display is fine but not a video game to replace the important parts.

Is your HD analog @Hooli

Yup, the important bit is anyway.

It's got an analogue speedo with a multi function display below it that does revs/mileage/two trip meters & remaining range. Oh & a clock that it's normally set too. I've only used the rec counter once, to find out what speed I was limited to while running it in. That turned out to be 97mph in 6th so I didn't worry about it after that.

I must admit there's one BM I quite like.
It's a naked / semi naked version.
I'm not too familiar with the model but I think it's known as the R1200R

I think the K1200S or K1300S is not too bad.

For some reason, the only bm troubleyou that I have ever given a second glance at, is the old R1200C - and I'm not really sure why lol

They are a brilliant bike, probably the best real-world bike I have, more power than the 14, same torque and less weight plus no chain to piss about with.

Only BMW I've been tempted by was the naked K1300R.

As a big bore, 4 cylinder naked bike it had some appeal and I thought it might have been more suitable than the B-King. I tried a couple but wasn't over keen on the shaft drive and suspension, and also some of the BMW dealers here don't have a great reputation other than trying to separate you from your dollars. As a big naked / tourer to just turn key and ignore it may have been OK, as a bike to mod and change to suit, clown about on and to hot up it wasn't the one.

I had a ride on R1200R, I can sort of understand why liked, I rode home on 14.

[Speedy1959]

I nearly forgot to mention another thing I REALLY like about the GSX..
Very good range on a tank (Mod done  )..

The photos below are typical and NOT exceptional..
The most I have done on a single tank was 238 miles.. I then started to think that maybe I was pushing my luck..

Regilarly get over 200 miles without drama..

I used to get over 180-200miles to reserve ridden how I ride on my extremely low mileage & cherished example. When it was running right anyway.

Yes, I remember that one Hooli, barely run in that one was.
200miles from 22l (before reserv) works out to around 6.8L/100km...
