I'm definitely not a fan of the fuel gauge being larger tha the tach, and the tach being a strange shape. The new 650R is the same way. I'd be really interested to hear from the taller people- and the guys. Since there are... special considerations

Funny to see that one lonely green Versys
I didn't have a problem with the gauges, except sometimes I had a hard time focusing on the numbers for the tach (6 vs 8 mostly). But once I got used to it, I knew where it was without actually needing to read numbers, just by position.

I did notice in my video that the camera couldn't always read the display. If the gauge was in sunlight, you can read it. If it's in shade you can't. But I didn't notice any difference in person, and didn't struggle to read the display while I was riding at all.

I would imagine the bike would be better for taller people. Better than a supersport for sure.
