It really isn't. If you see a speed limit sign of 90 kph, for example, multiply the 9 by 6 = 54, and that's 54 mph. 100 kph = 60 mph. Multiply the 1 by 6 = 6 + add a 0 = 60 mph.
I do this all the time when I'm riding my vintage British bikes with Imperial speedo's.
Our speedo's up here are in metric with a mph scale below the metric numbers. I don't know anything about the U.S. speedo's.
I didn't even know that the instrument panel on the CB could be switched from metric, but it's right there in the owners manual
I'll probably never ride my CB in the U.S., but if I ever do the mph scale is right there and easy to read.
