Doesn't feel very comfortable though I must admit. Why is it that 70-80 on the motorway seems to bash you around more than 70-80 on normal roads??? My neck feels like I've been lifting armoured trucks with my head this morning!
No,No you didnt ! you was sticking to the 70mph speed limit on UK roads ,nudge nudge wink wink .

Oh yeah, that's what I meant... I meant I had the potential to do something foolish and exceed speed limits but resisted like a responsible forum member... what with my forum stickers on and everything I consider myself an ambasador for the world of XT's :nono:

As Anyone tried a GPS on their bike to compair the speed reading's ?
On my last bike I reset the Max speed on the GPS and tried it on the Bypass { In Germany :tongue3: } and The bike's speedo read 125.the Max speed reading on the GPS was 112,I'm told that the GPS is more accurate !!!!!

I have a Tom Tom. With the Avon Distanzias on (it was different with the Pirellis on) the indicated speed at anything below 40 seems to be accurate. Over 40mph there seems to a difference which gets bigger as the speed increases. At 75mph you are actually doing about 69-70mph.
It is quite difficult to track the speed on our bikes because a 1 degree change in throttle position can be a 10 mile and hour difference in speed and the GPS can't keep up.
