but have been told the speedo is optimistic and upon checking it is.



Interesting.

The first time my wife and I went for a ride together (seperate bikes) she kept telling me to slow down. I was only doing 50-55 but she kept insisting I was doing more like 60-65.

A few days later I rode her bike to work and even though the speedo was telling me I was doing 85 I really wasn't passing people as fast as I thought I should be at that speed.

I'm going to bring a GPS along sometime and find out the real deal.
