I was given reason to believe that mine is off by 10%, however I read here once that the closer one gets to 'the ton' the more accurate the speedo is (???).
Well, lending credence to the notion that my speedo is as accurate or inaccurate as a 2007 R1200S and an '03 FZ1, my riding partners commented how surprised they were that my "little Bonnie" was keeping up and right along side them at an indicated 110/115 mph.... exactly what MY speedo was reading.
I haven't done it yet, but the ONLY reason I want one of those little $90.00 GPS' is to check my speed. I actually put graduated marks on my old BonnieBlack where an actual 55 mph, 65 mph, and 70 mph was. If I'm not mistaken, my needle was straight up and at a right angle when I was at a real 70 mph.
I'm pretty anal 'bout these things, and have been looking to cruise along side a new Honda Civic with it's HUGE and conspicuous speedo that can be seen from outside the window. I'm willing to bet a Honda car's indicated speed would be pretty close to 'real' speed.
