Im OK with analog speedometers being optimistic, but ever since I installed my first bicycle computer on a motorcycle more than 25 years ago, my brain can only accept a speed displayed as a number as the true speed within the margin of error achievable by the calibration technique.
I calibrated the bicycle computer to be accurate within +/- 2.5 meters on 1000 meters, by using T-shaped marks on the highway exactly 1000 meters apart, which were there for the highway police to calibrate their equipment. My current scooter has a speedometer with 2" tall digits and like all Suzuki's it was 10% optimistic, before the SpeedoHealer. Now it never differs more than 1 kph from my GPS. It's such a pleasure to be able to be speeding exactly 3 kph below the threshold for speeding tickets, without doing math on the fly. If it has a digital speedo, corect it. If it has a mechanical speedo, get a digital device which tells you the true speed. |

Fair statements.
Are you Canadian?

that will most likely happen because I feel lost without a tachometer and will probably add a digital dashboard display.

This seems to have lost traction with folks?

I wasn't aware of this option, and already installed the Speedo DRD.
