I'd prefer numbers too!
Can't have everything I suppose and for me it's only a small gripe.

I saw that... I prefer numbers too. If I remember correctly, in the manual it tells you how many bars = certain temperature.
But still, I agree with you, I'm not a fan of this either.

The fuel gauge is even worse. It does not exist at all.
Same on the 959 - we do get a yellow gas light that shows up when there's about half left in the tank

I'm not surprised at all that they changed this, it was a constant issue with people not used to seeing the high temps that are "normal" on a Panigale and thinking their bike was overheating. We'd have people call us on the phone with their bike sitting on the side of the road because they panicked and shut it off after seeing the temp climb to 240 degrees and thought there was a problem. So just purely from a customer service standpoint, a bar that just shows non-threatening colors, and doesn't provide a "warning" until the bike is actually at risk of overheating, is a better plan. Personally, I'd still prefer to see the actual temperature though.

Yup I figured that was exactly the reason they decided to change to the generic bar graph. Imo, it cheapens a very high end expensive bike.

Manual says 4,5 liters of fuel left at orange light lighting. More or less 60 / 80 kilometers, depending on the speed.

As discussed before
The fans should come on much earlier from the factory.

I think a graduated scale for the fuel contents would have been a useful addition (I believe the Multistrada has this already on its new TFT screen). At least you can see your level before the low level sensor triggers the yellow warning light.

I am not surprised either. I would rather see a number scale. But so many people complained about temps, Ducati needed to do something for the uninformed.

I don't really care about not having a fuel gauge as I think it's an archaic instrument.
I don't need to know how much fuel is left in my tank.
What I really want to know is my" distance to empty".
There's no reason in this modern day and age not to have this available.

That it does, pretty much a standard fuel gauge. This is the first motorcycle I've had that has had one. It's never been an issue before, I just used the tripometer.
1st thing i do whenever i get a new bike is to find out how much i could get out from the full tank, did 35 kms after light on this morning and still got 3 litre of fuel left, so i estimate i could do at least 60 - 70 kms once light is on, so far i am doing 4.5L / 100 km.
