The newer version is better. Actually, it is very similar to the Bavarin cluster.

The pic I posted does not compare to the Bimmer.

Not even close.

I was agreeing that the 06/07 ZX10R looks better than this bike.

How so? The BMW's probably provides more info, and the numerals are larger and easier to read.

I think was saying the bike as a whole.

You are right about the read out.

Add in that the speedo isn't in the way of the tach, there is a big ol' shift light and the panel to the right is the perfect mounting place for a lap timer.

I like it.

If the headlights have purpose, one shape optinmized for low beam and the other specifically designed for optimal high beam then I approve.

I expect the price point to be in the mid teens, about 15K.

Unless your lap timer is triggered by a beacon on the track it doesn't count.

Yeh, but they could have at least made them somewhat similar
