Hi!
That is the same experience I have made. The analog speedo is lying, the
digital speedo shows almost the same speed as my GPS is telling me. It
differs between 0.5 and 1 km/h.

Subject: AW: (XRV) digital & analog speedo official measurements
Hello everybody,
>>
Speedo analog almost 70 [km/h]
Tripmaster digital 62 at the time of the flashlight when they took
the measurement
Measurements of the Police 60
(btw they billed me for 55km/h in a city in Switzerland -> 40sFr=50DM)
So the digital tripmaster is very good, at least around 0-60km/h
>>
My experiences with the tripmaster are following.
The analog speedometer gives on my bike a topspeed of a little more than
200.
The tripmaster at that moment shows a speed of about 187.
The GPS at that moment shows a speed of 185.
I believe my GPS to be the most accurate device. In that case the
tripmaster is also verry accurate and the old fashioned clock is must have
been in a happy mood at that time.
But the accuracy of the tripmaster (and analog speedometer) depends on the
tyres of the bike. It is sure that with more worn tires the tripmaster also
becomes less accurate.
At a speed of 120 on the tripmaster, the analog speedometer shows a speed
of 128. The GPS shows a speed which is about 1 Km/h different from the
tripmaster.
Speeds up to about 120 Km/h on the GPS show on the tripmastera speed that
almost always is
