I always used the trip-0-meter. But inaccurate speedo's really get my goat and I don't think I ever had an accurate speedo on a bike except for a BMW K75 and a few later model Harleys, most are 3% to 5% optimistic.
With the old mechanical speedos, you were lucky to get within 3% at higher speeds (i.e. above 70 mph). I tested the CB11's sensor driven speedo up to 100 mph with a GPS and it was right on the money the whole time.
