Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Since the day i bought the bike, the speedometer has read high by about 10% (checked by gps). if the speedometer reads 60mph, i am actually going about 54mph. doing the calculations in my head to get an accurate speed reading are a distraction and take my concentration off the road. when i first got the bike, that speedometer put me in a bad spot with cars passing me at thier normal to higher speeds while i was under the speed limit. a bad and dangeous combination that could lead to a crash with injuries or fatalities. there should be a recall. letters to honda have been ineffective.*ak
