I'm anticipating getting myself a super 8 150 soon and I wonder if the speedo runs optimistic like my agility does.
I hear of speeds into the 50's even on the hills.

Kymco speedo = optimistic. They want you to think you are going fast.

The optimistic speedo is a safety feature to make you ride ride slower when you think you're riding fast. LOL

You mean I'm not really doing 70 mph on the highway as the speedo says?!

Yep, I checked mine against one of those digital radar signs posted that warns you of your speed, and the Kymco speedo reads about 4 - 5 mph higher than your actual speed. At 30MPH on the speedo the radar sign said 26.
