It has long been thought that the Busa speedo was out by about 10% and I wanted to check my 99 stock standard bike out to see what it actualy is. Yesterday I borrowed a GPS and taped it to the tank to do just that.At 50,60,70,80,90 it was spot on. and at 100 and 110 it read about 2kph high. The unit I used was able to gve me an accurat reading up to tenths of a kph ie 100.6 etc. Therefore with only 3kph leeway you would have to stick to the reading on your speedo in order to keep your points. WTFWT<i></i>
What did the GPS reading give you when the speedo was reading 340 klm/h?????????????

Tried that once, GPS said abou 302, speedo read about 315 <i></i>
On 2 Busa's and both read fast by 17 to 20 clicks at the top end.
Does it really matter ??? <i></i>
Only to the Hard Core Gazza...... <i></i>
Just gotta do it sometimes I know Phil.
Shorty's speedo is the 1st not to lie around those speeds though. Good info Shorty and backed up with a decent GPS unit I expect. Was the reading taken in a straight line and little elevation change? <i></i>
Woohoo... If the busa speedo is accurate, my 750 is sure to be spot on!
Watched another of those videos, this time a zx10. Speedo went from 252 to 299kph in 2.5 seconds. If thats not a bullshit sproket, nothing is. <i></i>
Yea gazza.
All readings done in a straight line and level ground.Couldnt get it to go any faster as we where two up pulling a caravan WTFWT<i></i>
