  Review: Honda NC750X 2017 (productReview)

  The LCD panel includes a segmented-bar tachometer across the top, a digital speedometer, gear position indicator, digital clock, digital odometer with dual trip meters, an average fuel consumption meter, a fuel gauge and an oil change timing indicator.

Some of that appeal comes from the unashamed retro looks of the G/S, which it carries off to perfection.
• LPG: Where can I get my car converted to run on LPG? (FAQs)
  UK LPG (Liquified Petroleum Gas) is wellhead gas, rather than refined from crude oil, and current estimates are that there is enough under the North Sea to last 40 to 60 years. Usually a petrol engined car running on LPG suffers a 10% to 20% increase in fuel consumption.
