Speedo accuracy

My 2103 CB500XA was about 6% optimistic and so is my 2017 CB100 EX according to those electronic speed signs. I knew something was off because I was always getting tail gated at 95 KPH on 80 KPH roads. That is the speed that you might get a warning, but not a ticket unless you were driving erratically. So that is speed most drivers have learned to use. I have to ride at 100 KPH to go with the flow. Since I have not been stopped and seldom passed over the last 4 summers, I assume I really am travelling at 95 KPH.
