Yeah its super common and not at all specific to any brand or model. Its just the way things were before speedometers started using stepper motors

Tons of Japanese (and some european) bikes used Nippon Denso and Nippon Seiki gauges back in the day, so many of them are probably the exact same gauge guts, just styled differently per manufacturer. Looks like a ton of motorcycle companies are on the client list for Nippon Seiki https://www.nippon-seiki.co.jp/global/products/meter_products/#2r

That doesnt mean it isnt a cool and simple use of some rad physics, because it sure is. Its just not rare or uncommon is all

Same, it makes no sense.
