I usually try to speak "American" for all my metric challenged friends on this forum. The ICE spins up around 65/66 kph. The speedo calibration is likely different. The Canadian model speedo tops out at 240kph whereas from pictures I see the US model speedo tops out at 230kph on the smaller inner metric scale.

I was just curious if the US model speedos are over-reading, if the discrepancy shows up in the emode - ICE spin transition speed as well...
