Gee ... can I hazard a guess?
At first it looked a bit BMW-ish, but then also like the new, clearer GM designs. The redline/speed is a clue ... but the 160mph max on the dial may be too low ... I've never seen a C5 Corvette, or its instrument-panel, only those tiny photos in magazines ... is that it? |

Considering I dont see a steering wheel, its gotta be a bike. I hope whoever this was had his eye on the road. I've been over 160 in my car. That gets my adrenaline pumping. I cant imagine what it must be like on a bike. Yikes!

The C5's display is much bigger, with corvette logos, and an (unneeded) 200 mph speedo. It would have to be a bike, but I thought most sport bikes had higher red-lines

I'm sure it's not a bike. The redline is too low for a bike that can do 160 mph, the turn signal indicator lights, etc. But I have no idea what this is. Chris, do you know yourself?

Thats the speedo from a current generation Jetta or Golf.
I wish there was a strip of road long and empty enough for me to try that. |

It's something VW-related, but I couldn't guess between VW and Audi. I just recently sat in my friend's Jetta and was struck by the fact the tach was counted tens by hundreds, not ones by thousands. That was the first thing I noticed here. :flash:
