Not to disappoint (or perhaps relieve), but a 90 mph speedo reading is probably closer to 81-82 mph. Many owners have fitted their bikes with a bike computer or GPS only to find that the speedo greatly over-reports the speed of the bike (ostensibly to impress owners at how fast they can go, while simultaneously tricking them into being safer than they think they are).
