Now we just need to hear how it sounds going WOT like that with an Akra system

LOL like the old one, just quieter...

It's interesting to watch him hit the apex and Ben says the slipper clutch helped.

Indeed, hopefully some of us here will be doing just that around the corners.

Still hate that dash, so much glare!!

Same here, would be great if these had auto brightness or something to compensate much like what smartphones these days have

Maybe we can get some kind of matte screen protector and cut it to the LCD's shape...? 😉 I'd do that, hate those "mirror finish" screens that are in fashion lately these years...

That is a good point. Could always stop by a Wal-Mart, BestBuy, etc to get a matte screen protector for an ipad and cut it to fit.

yea strips of anti-glare are relatively cheap!

Indeed, especially now with self healing types that can be had for $15-20.

Meh, I don't see the need for 'self-healing' on the readout. On a phone sure, its always getting abused, but your dash lives in peace for the most part

Make sure it is water resistant, anti moisture build up, and can withstand direct sun light for prolong periods of time.

Moisture shouldn't be too much of a problem. Most if not all of us won't ride in the rain or when it's really humid outside.

There is moisture build up in the morning in a lot places. Its the morning dew.

Visordown posted up another Ducati 959 Panigale review.

FYI, there is a screen protector for the dash. I ordered one of these:
Speedo Angels | Motorcycle Dashboard Screen Protection

They're creating solutions to problems we've never had

Did you note that the bike only had 480 or KMs on it... seems they overlooked the factory recommended break in? In all seriousness, there is so much one could learn from watching this video: gear selection, speed, shift points, braking points, when he's adding throttle, etc. You can even see his head in the reflection on the dash!
