If you're used to having it, I can see how it's hard to give it up. I've never ridden a bike with that feature.. I'm used to not caring what gear number I'm in, just knowing that I'm in the appropriate gear for what the condition requires, what 'feels' right.. The engine will tell you if you need a higher / lower gear for the given speed or condition. I'm so used to doing the 'double-tap' into first gear when coming to a stop that I can honestly say I've never accidently riden off in 2nd gear from a stop..
But it's a moot point at this time as the centre console won't be going back on the bike.. the fuel sender float unit is a mass of junk rust blob so that ain't gonna work anymore. So no gear indicator as well.. Fuel tank was full of red slime gunk junk.. what ever that stuff was (Stabyl?) it congealed and wreaked havoc with the internals. No worries, that's what reserve is for
