My dash, aim solo 2 dl and the speed trap were all very comparable….🤷🏼‍♂️

I thought the speed shown on the dashboard was from the wheel sensor and that usually over reads the speed on all vehicles. I would expect the dashboard speed to be higher than GPS or a speed trap.
 
From my understanding, Rick did his gearing for multiple reasons apart from skipping the sometimes problematic 1-2 shift. It was for wheelbase, anti-squat, ease of riding, torque, etc. Lots more involved than using the whole box

I have found the dashboard readout on the V4 to be only a few mph higher than the GPS on my separate laptimer.

Do you mean dashboard as in the speedo or what DDA reports on your dashboard? You would normally expect quite a big discrepancy between reported speed and actual speed on any vehicle.

The speedo - I don't have DDA. Oddly, I find the V4s speedo to be far more realistic (although still over) than other bikes that I have owned, especially the mechanically driven speedo ducatis (2 of which I still own) which have been way over.

What I love about my 1098/1198 is the odometers are dead on but the speedo's are about 7-8 percent high. Had to be engineered in. The V4's since you can calibrate seem real close to being right when they're actually calibrated. I too have a few cable driven speedo's and they're all about 10% high.

That’s interesting. I grew up with cables and wondering if cars you were thinking of buying had the drill on reverse to take a few miles off the car… I believe they have to read a bit high for some legal reason?
 
I never tried to reverse a Ducati but years ago one of the used exotic car dealers in the San Fran area lost his license to sell cars for the rest of his life because of doing this. Legal reason not sure but if you don't know that it's wrong may save one from a few tickets.
