Western WA | Got a question for those of you with GPS.
How accurate is the Vision speedometer?
On some other bikes, the speedo registers about 5 mph faster than actual speed.
What's your experience with the Vision? |

Valdosta, GA | My Vision reads about 1 mph off from the GPS reading and is consistent across the entire range.
My Suzuki has roughly a 10% error across the entire scale. |

Tacoma, WA | Mine also is within about 2MPH of the GPS reading. MUCH better than my old Honda, I had to put a larger tire on the front to make it even close! LOL!-----Metalguy |

Brighton, TN | I'm with Banjo on this one, GPs reads 72, speedo, 76-78. Feels like I'm rollin'! At 55 spot on and lower, but once over that the accuracy starts to expand. My GMC truck is spot on with the GPS, upwards of 80, so I'm thinkin' the GPS is right. Once again wonder why it is so hard to get it right. |

Under the Rule of Jedi - Masshole | 120 on the speedo, limiter kicks in, 119 on GPS.
JAM can verify the 119! |

Pittsburgh, PA | here is something i noticed the other day. while my speedo is off according to my gps.. my gps was off according to them Speed check signs on the side of the road. The ones that let you know you are going to fast on that road.. But i failed to see how far off my speed was from the sign...  i was more interested at that point in the gps Vs the sign. Too be honest i never fully trusted a gps's speedo reading as my max speed on my gps says 212mpg.. Now come on!....... Really? did i feel my tank with pure Seafoam or something? lol |
