| Bike magazine reports speedo accuracy in its tests. July's test of nthe 749S, 999, RSV-R and Benelli Tornado Tre were as follows:
749S 70mph ind = 66 real , 100mph ind = 95 real
999 70mph ind = 65 real, 100 mph ind = 92 real
RSV-R 70mph ind = 66 real, 100mph ind = 93 real
Benelli 70mph ind = 63 real, 100mph ind = 90 real
So indicated is typically 5-7% lower than real on the dukes and up to 10% lower on the Benelli.
Don't have any Jap bikes to compare against but I'll keep 'em peeled next month. |
