yes in comparison the 17 speedo looks rather busy.
To be fair, nowhere on the Indian speedometer do I see an indication of MPH. If that is the case, this clearly must have been part of Indian's "Dream (On) Package".

As do I, but I thought that Honda kept the green faces all this time. Is it not just a matter of a lack of lighting on the later model gauges?

Yep, I'm fine with the numbers and fonts on the '17. I just wish they'd kept the green face.
Has differentiating a speedometer from a tachometer in/on any sort of vehicle honestly been a problem for you?
Again, I thought the gauges were still green, but darker. Really not the case?

No, the 2014 Standard and 2017 EX ditched the green face for a black face. Kinda like when Fender ditched the Blackface for the Silverface. No one was happy about it.

As in, a major problem? No. It was annoying, though, on my VWs. I could see no reason for it. The speedo has numbers like '30,' '40,' '50,' etc., so why have an identical-looking tach? Just give us a large '1,' '2,' '3,' '4,' like every other tach.

Nope. Black, not green. Not a good move.
