Most of us don't need one -that's why they aren't a standard part of a bikes equipment -unless you own a (1978 GSX400) In fact, all of us don't really need one I reckon.
I can perhaps imagine a need for a light to indicate when you are in top gear -if you really must wring top speed out of your sportsbike and are very worried you arn't in the highest gear, but i can't see why anyone really needs to know what gear they are in otherwise.
