[QUOTE="keithq, post: 1450177, member: 98319"] I have noticed over the years that motorcycle speedos are never exact, at least not compared to a GPS. They must think if they indicate 75 and we are really doing 72 or 73, somehow that is safer. One thing I am certain I have noticed is that the faster you go the wider the spread between speedometer and GPS. Usually, it is only about 1 or 2 miles different. Above 85 or so and it stretches to 3 MPH. And I agree this bike seems most happy around 80+. Quite stable and steady at that speed, not that I would do that anywhere but in West Texas where the signs are actually posted that high in places! [/QUOTE]
