top radar speeds from Dunlop tire test

Well,some of the British bikes from the 50s had gearbox driven speedos,but gearing changes were mainly done on the engine sprocket,so no matter.Worse was the Smiths Cronometric speedo

Err..

Obviously I'm not as old as you!

Guess these new fangled bikes must get their speedo drives from the gearbox. All the bikes Ive ever ridden get their speedo drives from the front axle. Doesn't matter what you do to your drive train front axle still rotates the same.

Fark, its been a while since I've seen a sportsbike come out with its speedo drive off the front wheel, well not the ones I've been paying attention too anyway. Even my ancient 1997 GSXR750 is driven from the box.

Maybe I should be in Motat...

Seems like a backward step, don't they expect us to change our sprocket ratios anymore!

Hell mate to me That,s a new bike
You mean to tell me some bikes speedos are driven off the gear box

Yeah, that is quite common these days.

My 1992 CBR250RR has a gearbox driven speedo aswell.

I guess I've been riding for awhile,always on older bikes never late model in any era - some of these bikes were older than me at the time.I still like old bikes - just not the fuckwits that own them...the pedantic ''oh,they never came out in that colour in the last week of july!'' or the disposable income that would ''like a classic bike''
