I guess this also means that when your clock says your bike's covered 10,000mls, its really only covered about 9,000!

Good point this, as more miles = lower value and sooner servicing (if you do it by miles rather than anually) Though the milometer and speedometer are not necessarily both reading wrong or by the same amount.

I've done the same journed from Northampton to Camberley, around 90 miles, and clocked a good mile and half difference between my 996 and zx6r - can't remember which one clocked which, but I was surprised by the difference at the time.
