Since the factory rev limiter kicks in well before engine damage is a concern, a tach on a Bonneville isn't an absolute necessity. On the other had, I've never had a bike without a tach. I like gauges and gadgets. The more infomation I can get about road speed, engine speed, engine temp, oil pressure, charging system health, etc., the happier I am.
Most motorcycle engines can be classified as high performace, at least compared to other vehicles. Any high performance engine with a manual transmission is kind of incomplete without a tachometer IMO.
