The speedo is about 10-12% optimistic. Here's a GPS picture from a ride a few months ago. Speedometer was reading about 88-90MPH.

Here is a stock bike on a flat road with a 13t front sprocket. The speedo was readingover 90 MPH. That is how far off it is.

so i guess its fair to say across the board that with this bike your going 10mph slower than your speedo reads?

More like 10 or 11%, at least that was the case with mine until I adjusted it. It's not a flat 10 MPH off, but a percentage of the speedo reading.
