“My 2002 Honda sabre motorcycle came with a seedometer that reads approximately 10% higher velocity that actual velocity. I have checked this by timing against mile markers while traveling at a set speed (60 MPH) on the speedometer, and I have also checked it against several other cars and motorcycles. All tests to date confirm the 10 % high reading. I have also researched other Honda sabre owners on internet and almost all of them complain of the same problem. Honda's response to date has been to claim that it is leagal to be off 10 %. I think this is a saftey hazard in at least two ways. …”
