The speed sensor does indeed read off the gearbox output shaft. Changes in sprocket, tyre or rim size will alter the reading on the speedo. In fact under and over inflated rear tyres will effect the reading too.

I should have said the speedo is about 10% optimistic in "standard trim" in my earlier post.
