now with better examples. Motorcycle traveling at 120mph, Ford truck at 60mph, police radar on the side of the road. the truck is 400' away from the cop and the bike is 1500' away from the cop. the trucks speed will be displayed. (unless you have a radar like I have) my radar shows the Closest Largest Most Reflective in one window and the Fastest in another. (Whats that mean) well motorcycles or smaller vehilces trying to hide next to large vehicles dont work and I can see both speeds at the same time. Also to add, radar can clock you even if the patol vehilce is moving in the same direction (someone said radar couldnt do that in another post)

now with that said, Radar is very accurate but you always have to contend with the human factor. Thats where the problem comes in.

I hope that explains Radar and if anyone has more specific questions please let me know.

I have a dual antenna fastest target system in my car, handheld radar, and a laser. also im in Florida

How can Honda sell a bike that does not show your true speed?? Isn't that agaisnt the law?? That's putting more milage on my bike than it actually has....that's call FRAUD! has any one spoke to honda about it??

Is this your first bike ?
All bikes have a certain amount of speedo error , not just Honda.

I dont know about bikes, but I know on a car if your speedo is off and the vehicle is under warranty it is getting fixed.
