I would imagine that applies to speedos reading 10 % higher than actual speed. If the opposite were true then everyone would be getting tickets for speeding and have to fight it in court. At least the odometers on bikes are much more accurate than speedos.
Speedos in cages are usually within 1% so I can only assume bike speedos are inaccurate to protect us from our own foolishness. A better speedo can be bought for a bicycle and put on a motorcycle and have awesome accuracy.
