Speedo just asking for it?

Anybody else think that having the 80mph positioned at the centre of the dial instinctively makes you drive more towards 80 than 70? :eek:

Speedos are usually out anyway, so it's prob around 75 and Police will be fine with that anyway. Well, I dare say there's a few eager ones.

I've never actually noticed it, but I bloody bet I do now!

Chungster - are the speedo markings not the same on the 'R' as standard models? I know the R is faster but I thought the speedo would have been the same?
