Re: Speedometer error

One of the most popular Italian bike magazines has done a full
test of the ST which includes speedo and rpm readings and normally 
their measurements are deemed to be quite accurate.
Here are their results. They are in kilometers and I have also
translated them into miles:

KPH
- ---
Indicated 	  Real		MPH
- ---------	  ----		---
50		 47.625		31 - 29.6
100		 95.482		62 - 59.33
150	   	143.393		93 - 89.1
200		192.442	       124 - 119.58

Top Speed
241.829		256 (approx)   150 - 159

RPM
- ---
3000		2911
6000		5855
9000		8701

The speedo readings result to be pretty much in the standard over
here. A quick comparison with the new CBR1100XX tested this month;
indicated 200 kph, really only 187.6 kph.
I would however have expected a bit more accuracy on the rpms.
