Ticket machine
I got not one but TWO tickets in my first VX (a '99 Ironman) way back in the early days. The sad thing was, I wasn't even in a hurry either time! In both cases, I was just going downhill and hadn't noticed how much my speed had crept up.
I'm used to driving a 350Z, where you are low to the ground and aware of your velocity. Something about the abrupt change to a higher driving position really fooled my eyes. I got both of those tickets within the first two months of owning the VX.
Afterwards I was REALLY careful. And by now, of course, I can estimate my speed pretty accurately without looking at the speedo.
Newbies, be careful! The VX is deceptively quick!
