Now, had I been going downhill with the wind at my back the bike might have gotten up to 80 mph actual.
My experience with comparing my speedo with roadside radar signs is that it seems to be consistently indicating 10% faster than actual speed. I'm not sure how consistent this is from bike to bike, or between the old gen and new gen 250s.
