Just how accurate compared with GPS indicated speed is the display?

I've not compared it to my nav5 TBH and guess it will over read to some extent, but for me the key is I can actually read it easily which I found difficult with my MY 2016 GS and will soon know if for instance 30mph is a true 27 etc. so I can then ride accordingly. The problem I had trying to use the Nav5 for this was under acceleration it goes blank which if you're doing your advanced where speed management is critical (e.g. accelerating quickly up to but not beyond the posted limit) I found it to be as much use as a chocolate fireguard.

It’s a good 5% out. When Nav says 30 tft reads 27. At 70 on Nav the tft reads 66/67

Not as bad as the AT then which is 6-7mph out at a true road speed of 70mph it reads 76mph

Doesn't do this on the nav 6.

I'm also doing my advanced, and whilst I'd have the tft screen in a heartbeat, when doing my advanced ride outs I would still continue to take the pair of readings for speed and speed limit, next to each other, on the nav. Not only do you have them side by side but of course the nav is a truer indicator of speed (which one can test for themselves when approaching 'speed reading' signs in 30 mph areas).

For what's it's worth, my analogue over reads by 2 mph at thirty, which is standard for all bmw vehicles (including cars).

Other way round, I hope...

Speedo (indicated speed) should always show higher than Nav (actual speed)...

All I can say is it’s a good thing BM has us rich guys to keep updating our toys.

How about we all go back to the past? the Greeves bikes seem easy to clean and not too much techy stuff to go wrong they seem to go ok as well, have we all lost touch. Not sure about that though you can decide.

What a lovely film... those seem like better times, that’s for sure (and for a multitude of reasons...)

Dave it is, I remember in the early seventies we were moored up on the West coast and I had a walk around this Island Luing it was called. In this derelict slate quarry was a young guy on a Greeves working his way up and down what seemed like vertical slopes doing sort of bunny hops and jumps I was fascinated by his skill but we didn’t have a conversation. I wonder if he was an islander or just a visitor.
