Eh, fuck shift indicators, I'm not a racer. It's the gear indicator I want. Are gixxers still the only bikes with gear indicators, or did the others finally add them?

I am a racer, and I want both.

My '06 675 had both as has each Triumph I've had since then.

I know the ZX6R has a gear indicator and I'm pretty sure the big CBR does too (I haven't ridden a CBR 600 lately).

the kawi and the new cbr both have gear indicators. I recently put my Raptor shift light on the 954 and set it a few rpm short of fuel cut. Its amazing how hard it was to use the top of the powerband with the stock tach. besides, at the speeds bikes can produce the last place i want my eyes is the gauges
