    No one. The same group of people who need 200 hp for riding around town. The same group that "needs" 400+ hp 4 door sedans to go to the grocery store. None of that stuff is ever about "need".

    I'm not sure I understand. You think instant mpg has any usefulness in a race?

    Lol I've seen quite a few TT racers who prolly wish they'd known how much was left in the tank before they had to push it!

    Average would work but instant not so much.

    I suspect that dash will be quite a bit simpler when it reaches production. That shits way to busy.

    That's where average could help but the reality there is an accurate gauge rather than MPG.

    I'd wager if the mpg is really that annoying you can put a piece of tape over it without damaging the motorcycle lol.

    :D

    It really is funny they put it on there. I don't even look at instant in cars theses days.

    I'd also guess you can program something else onto that line.

    Actually - looks like that is average, it matches the numerical output. So you can have that bar showing MPG all the time while showing other info where the trip odometer is.

    Either way, I still like it even if it is way too much info to look at on a street bike.

    What they would've been looking for was the quantity of fuel in the tank, or how many more miles they could go based on the average MPG. Not the instant MPG, dummy. It's useless. :D

    Look closer at the graph output. My initial assessment of it being instant MPG may have serious issues. :D

    Bitch where there are traffic lights there are gas stations in between damn near every set of them. No one "needs" to know the instant MPG. :D

    I love the BBS. You morons just accepted what I said without looking at the picture any closer than I did at first :D

    Why would suzuki be showing off there new to be 1000 for 2017 sales at the end of 2015? " Got it" to see how we on the BBS would fix it

    Actually, it didn't really get too dumb until Julia Childs (she knows what that's about) tried to explain why instant mpg is needed. He picked up your ball of dumb and ran with it. :D

    Dont worry your little Prius head about the locales of fueling stations! You scurry on down to the Vegan/Free Range / Crossfit grassy knoll and let the real men & ladies worry about "instant" achievement(s)!! I bet the new GSXR comes with Matt Mladin cams! :D

    Lol looks that way! We'll have that shitte sorted before it goes into production.
