In which case you're bike's speed is roughly the same as everyone else's!

Check it with a GPS...
Yes, will check with gps..
Don't think a speedo healer is installed. It was also default kitted with 15/45, so no speedo healer was needed.. I don't think the drive line has ever been replaced. Only 10500 km (~6524 miles?) on the meter when I bought it.
