If those 60 miles have been measured with the on-board odometer, and if that odometer works measuring the rotational speed of the rear wheel as I suspect, then the 60 miles value has been affected by the different size of the rear wheel.

Well, it's twenty-two miles from my house to work. When I pull into the garage at the end of the day I usually have 29-31% charge left on the clock.

I assume you are using some other odometer besides stock, which reads the rear wheel? Racetrack or commuting?

That's decent, I'd imagine you could easily run much higher gearing. For under $100 bucks.
The speedo uses gps, there's no pickup for a traditional gauge and I'm not sure why anyone would want one. I commute on the bike during the week and mostly run the BRP on the weekends.
I could run a smaller sprocket on the back and maybe pick up a few miles if I ran interstate at sustained speeds but that's not how I use the bike. I'm in and out of the throttle on tight backroads for the vast majority of my daily commute.
I did a 200 mile day on my 2t motard a few months back and by the end of the day I was wishing I had taken the truck.

On this past Sunday I got 15 miles of slow mostly single track with some Enduro gnarly hills used about 35% battery. So I could comfortably get the same as @Johnny Depp in the slow gnarl.
I am mostly stock with my newer Varg. Some Acerbis parts and an AXP skid plate still running the Pirellies (with IRC heavy duty tubes) till they are worn out, they don't like the 8 psi...

Speedo is based on motor spin not GPS, it will be inaccurate if you change gearing or wheels.The speedo uses gps, there's no pickup for a traditional gauge and I'm not sure why anyone would want one. I commute on the bike during the week and mostly run the BRP on the weekends.

Varg speedo/distance is inaccurate [lower] by ≈5% compared to a GPS watch which I trust.
This is for short rides of 20-30km.
