Another reason for differences is the fact that the odometers are not very accurate. ...
The other interesting fact is that my spedo reads FASTER than I'm actually going. Measured with a GPS, at 78 mph, I'm actually going 73 mph. This is the reverse error of the odometer.
The inaccuracy of the Speedometer is common to many bikes/manufactures. In fact, I think it is intentional. I ride with a GPS often and although the speedometer is approx. 7% off the odometer is dead on.
Been getting 46+mpg all summer long. 42 at the beginning of the year and actually hit 49mpg in the last few weeks.
