I've tested the RYCA speedo and have found it to read 10% too low, i.e. when it shows 60, I'm actually going 66mph.

Although that may be true for a lot of the Savage bikes - the stock speedometer is mechanical and has a lot of manufacturing tolerance for accuracy.

My 2002 bike had a speedometer that was accurate with the stock 140/80 tire.
