[align=left]For all of you fine gentleman who were questioning the was it KPH that IS the answer.[/align][align=left]The video is genuine the speed is deceptive. In europe and other foreign countries including Canada the speedometers are in KPH and the inner dial is MPH if they even have one.[/align]
So you're saying that the outer dial in the video is km/h? Well, it isn't. The outer dial is MPH. If you look at 70 in the outer you see the inner dial reading 110 just before. Well, 70 mph is 112 km/h, so there you have it. Outer = MPH, inner = KM/H.

If the outer dial were km/h the speedo would only go to 220 km/h (~140 mph)? Does that seem likely on a 190 mph bike?
