But not a minority of one, I like the new shape and the black frame too, why does it have to be an either/or choice, I think old shape SVs are good and so are new shape ones.
Why are some people so stuck on one variety?
The clocks: Whatever has been said about price, (and I sincerely doubt that the digitals are significantly different in price to build), having owned both an SV650SX and now an SV1000K3, I don't feel that there is any difference in usability between digital and analogue speedos, and the new instruments have a clock, a temperature gauge and are easily switchable between Imperial and Metric, in short, they work good.
Whether you feel that the extra info they give is useful or not is a different matter of course.
