100mph is on the clocks is usually 90 in real money.
I made it a bit more than that when I compared the Veypor with the stock clocks on a 120/60- At 120 on the SV clocks it was almost bang on 105. But some people have had different results, which is odd, as if the error can vary from bike to bike. But by running the speedo off the rear wheel, the taller tyre puts you within a percent or 2, which is nice Almost like it was supposed to go there.
