It's cheaper than a GPS and reports avg. speed, max. speed, etc... Most speedometers aren't accurate much more than 90%. A well calibrated bike computer is...
We have nibbled around the edges of addressing a FI unit swap from the SV1000 to the 'Strom. Is that gonna be possible? Are there other differences (valve...
