What's that other thing next to the fuel gauge? Is that a compass? Can't seem to figure out.

Man, my temptation is increasing with every spy shot that they release.

Also, anyone has an idea about the fuel tank capacity?

An altimeter supposedly!

That could be a compass. I was told this by someone inside Pricol, their instrumentation vendor.

Altimeter or compass? Though I doubt it could be a compass. I wonder how will they keep the compass calibrated when the bike is twisting, turning, and leaning.

Or could they? It's RE after all

A Compass is of no use almost in a bike... Most likely it's a Altimeter.

Dont compasses automatically align themselves based on the poles as you keep moving? I doubt RE has had to do any R&D or engineering if they have added a compass.

I don't think it is a compass either.
If the picture is zoomed into, it can be noticed just the border of the meter has some lines and the center has a digital screen.
Highly doubt if they will offer a digital compass.

Why would anyone want to look at the compass when leaned over a turn?

Rear seat is so puny... unlike any of the photos we have seen.

I think it is looking puny because of the air bag worn by the test rider.

Rear seat looks as if, borrowed from the Duke

Looking at the two bikes in the photo series, I can't help wondering about the hub/axle/wheel sets and the rear carrier mount plate .....

Came across a video clip with the bikes Exhaust note, shot by the same guy, shared by Motoroids.

Can't really compare it with any bike on the road these days. It sounds like a kitten's purr .

Quite audible exhaust note for a stock muffler.
Probably since it's a test bike.
