just get a good handheld GPS, tape it on somewhere, and check it yourself.

Might even be getting a tax paid ride to jail at that rate....   ;D  What is supposed to be the top speed of a 1300 anyway?  I am not even sure what the 1800 will do?  I think I have had mine up to about 115 or so....

Justin find yourself a long stretch of road and I'll tag a long on Isabella and we'll see.....  I know she'll do 130mph......

Wait for it......





























In 3rd gear!!!!!   ;D ;D ;D

oh i know i can get it up to 130. i've done peged it out at that plenty of times. all these "know it alls" on the other board are saying that the 1300 speedo is not accurate so i want to prove them or myself wrong O0 you would think that if it says 130 that your going 130. i'd be one pissed puppy if i got a ticket in a school zone for going 30 when my speedo said 25 >:( no wudda mean main O0

They're all off.  Practically no bike is accurate.  I can see that on mine at low speeds.  Mine gets as much as 10mph off at higher speeds (60-80).  I've been clocked by radar with the digital signs on the side of the road in 3 states and it was wrong on all of them.  It always showed higher on the speedo than actual.

I guarantee when it says 130 you're not doing 130.  Mine says 145 and I would be willing to bet I'm doing maybe 132/135.

On the busa I hit 175 lots and topped it at 185 twice.  True speed at 185 you're really doing about 175.  I didn't read the vtxoa thread, but I do know most speedo's are off.

That sounds about right....  I know at 70mph on the speedo on both of my bikes is wrong.  It is closer to 66 to 67mph.  I figure this error probably graduates with speed.  130 on the dial is closer to 115-120mph I'd figure.  GPS is probably the most accurate calculation besides getting the law involved.

It will also vary between bikes; I've confirmed that with radar.

When Johnny Law got me a month or so ago, he clocked me at 87mph and my speedo said I was doing around 97ish.   O0
