I only have personal experience with Kawasakis, but I think bike speedos tend to be a bit optimistic across the board. When people are posting about their top speed runs and such, you'll see notes like "indicated" or "GPS", as there can be a decent difference between the two. It's usually somewhere in the 5-10% range, so around 5mph at highway speeds. Low-60s might show as high-60s, but I wouldn't expect 55 to show up as 70.
