I've seen a wide range on my motorcycles. The worst in my Kawasaki 650R, the odometer reads very close (within 1%) but my speed reports 10% higher than actual! (checked using GPS, radar machines, and odometer check points). Most of my bikes have been 3-5% off on the speedo with the odometer being far more accurate.
