In flat track racing, a speedometer is not typically used on the motorcycles.

Flat track racing takes place on oval dirt tracks, and the focus is on speed, control, and maneuverability rather than monitoring precise speed measurements.

Since flat track racing is conducted in a closed circuit environment and not on public roads, speed limits and tracking precise speeds are not necessary.

The absence of a speedometer on flat track motorcycles is primarily due to the nature of the sport, where riders rely on their skills and track awareness rather than monitoring specific speeds.

Instead, riders typically rely on their senses and experience to judge their speed and make necessary adjustments during races.

It's worth noting that if a flat track motorcycle is intended for street use or transportation on public roads, it may be required to have a speedometer installed to comply with legal regulations.

In such cases, riders may opt for aftermarket (stainless steel) speedometers that are compact and minimalist in design, to maintain the aesthetic of the motorcycle.

Overall, while a speedometer is not a common feature in flat track racing, it may be added to motorcycles used for street riding or non-competitive purposes, ensuring compliance with legal requirements for road use.
