What the CB500 forum members found was that speedometers in the US measure in miles and were accurate. The rest of the world measures in kilometers and their speedometers were 6% off.

My 2017 EX is very accurate, within 1 or maybe 2 mph at 70 mph. It is as accurate as my Harley which has a “certified” speedo meaning it is accurate enough to be used in court by law enforcement. My Ducati, on the other hand, is wildly optimistic and I often ride with gps just so I know how fast I’m going.
