WELL I WAS DRIVING IN MY MOTORCYCLE RIGHT BEHIND MY PARENTS ON JUNE 10, 2012 WHEN I NOTICED THAT THEY WERE SPEEDING, I BROUGHT IT TO THERE ATTENTION, MY SPEEDOMETER SAID THEY WERE GOING 80, BUT MY PARENTS STATED THEY WERE GOING 75 MPH. SO WE WENT FOR A TEST DRIVE WHEN WE GOT HOME I STATED TO HIM DRIVE 55 MPH FOR ABOUT TWO MILES AND I WILL BE RIGHT BEHIND YOU SURE ENOUGH MY SPEEDOMETER SAID I WAS GOING 60 BUT HE WAS GOING 55. THEN I TESTED IT WITH A GPS DEVICE AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED. ON MONDAY JUNE 11, 2012 I CALLED YAMAHA AND ASKED THEM ABOUT THIS, THEY STATED THAT THERE IS AN ALLOWABLE DIFFERENCE WHICH IS 10 PERCENT. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE STATEMENT TO ME IS VALID. ONE OF THE REASONS I AM CONCERNED IS THE SLOWEST POSSIBLE LIMIT ON A FREEWAY IS 45 MPH HERE IN CA. WHAT IF I AM GOING 46, AND A POLICE OFFICER PULLS ME OVER FOR GOING 40...WHO WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CITATION? *TR
