Modenas GT128 Speedometer Error


I manage to ride side by side with a friend and manage to compare my Elegan speedometer with his Modenas GT 128.

You will be surprised with what I found out:

1) When my Elegan was at 80km/h, the GT128 was at 100km/h

2) When I raise my speed to 100km/h, the GT128 was at 120km/h

No wonder, some said that at top speed the GT128 was at 150km/h and the Shogun 125RR can go side by side.

I don't quite understand, what is the used of having such a misleading reading on the GT128. My be just as a marketing gimmick. At first glance, the bike seem to be very powerfull, very fast. But when properly check and compared.....................
