speedo klms travelled zeroing

Hi Chaps,
just checking,  I know that the VFR 800 speedo reverts to ZERO when it goes past 200,000 klms, as I have done 175,000 on my ST 1300, i was asking if anyone has passed 200,000 klms yet and wondering if my speedo will do the same as the VFR  ????

Met a chap from QLD while in TAS earlier this year on a blue ST1300......clocked his over twice...ie 2 x 200,000 kms plus an additional 35,000 showing on the display = 435,000km

It's all because Honda expects their ST1300s to easily exceed 200,000 kays.
They're probably surprised the Viffers in the hands of impetuous youth survive 100,000   :eek    :grin
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

ADR for bike odometer is/was only to show up to 99,999 kms which for the ST is hardly anything at all.
