This is interesting. Has anyone bothered to compare with a reliable car
along side?
I would do it myself with the wife but when I got home I would be
assassinated as I walked in the door for trying to kill myself. This can't
be too far off or we would be crawling way behind traffic at 65mph on our
speedos. I am pretty confident that the Speedo is good to at least 105mph.
I do 85 to 90 mph just about everywhere and occasionally reach 100/105mph in
passing where needed. If this is true then my 147mph max top speed is
bogus.
In a car you can take a turn about 20mph over what is posted for a turn. It
doesn't sound way off to me, anyone else?

Fourth, I believe the speedo is way off, 100 mph at 6000 rpm
(most
recent rev limit) is far too smooth. It felt much more like
around
85-90 mph. Also, I took a sharp right corner, the type with
a posted
speed limit of 15 mph, at around 35-40 mph on the speedo -
the speedo
obviously has to be wrong.
