Your bike might actually be reading in kph, even if it states 'mph' My TMEC 200 states mph, but is actually kph, even though I have not verified with GPS. However, it would be maxing out at an indicated 80 mph, which I figured was really about 50 mph. My odometer reads in km as well, and is pretty accurate as I had measured the distance to my work using a car odometer, from my driveway to the 'motorcycle parking' at the prison unit I work in, and when I converted the km's, it was pretty much spot on with the miles.

It could just be a coincidence, too, but do check your odometer to see if it is in miles or kilometers. If it is really in kph on a mph speedometer like my enduro, you would be right at 45 mph, which sounds right for a new, tight CT70 125cc clone engine, that is stock.
