I'm new to the FZ6 and motorcycle riding -- is this specific to the digital speedo or motorcycles in general? /me will have to hunt around for other similar threads...
Keeping it under 65mph

Most bikes will read faster than they're actually going. It is by design, keeps riders from going as fast and avoids the age old loophole in speeding tickets "but it said I was only going 45mph". There's threads all over about this. The fazer is 7-8% high, as it's probably been said here.

I feel much more in control if I'm ahead of the pack while riding and driving. More control=more safety IMHO.

My Versys is also about 6-7% higher than actual speed-stock geared.
As far as speed and safety, it's all relative to the situation. Distance not speed is what keeps you in safer situations. It just so happens that you obtain distance by using speed

I tried to keep my speed down this weekend to below 65mph.:cheer: I felt like I would be run over at any time while on the D/FW freeways.
I know! If you drive on interstates around here and (try to) hold it on the speed limit EVERYTHING on the road will pass you and even the Highway Patrol get on your back fender trying to figure out what's wrong with you?

Yea, that test is over. I'm staying well ahead of the flow.:rockon:

I usually go the speed that keeps me out of trouble, whatever that is.

I like how you put that. Basically, fast enough to keep people off my tail and slow enough to keep ole smokey off of it too.
