I have to agree with you Ken. The argument that not having a fuel gauge is the manufacturer’s way of protecting their product is kind of weak. If that were the case then cars would not come with fuel gauges either. I don't see BMW or Ford removing their fuel gauges and asking people to count their driven miles happening anytime soon. I believe the obvious reason that this bike does not have a fuel gauge is so that Triumph could sell the bike as inexpensively as possible. Some people will appreciate that and some would be very willing to spend more money on it for missing features they desire. I personally would be very willing to spend extra to have a fuel gauge. But, no gauge is also something that a buyer should have known about before making the purchase and then weigh the pro's and con's and then decide if not having this benefit is a deal breaker. My Rocket did not come with a fuel gauge but I purchased the gauge accessory. I have had bikes with a gauge and bikes without a gauge. To me a gauge is a good tool. I still fill-up before I am on empty and before the light comes on but it is very nice to be able to glance at the gauge while riding and get a good idea of where you stand on this important fact.
