The digital speed display at the bottom centre appears to have the option of kph or mph. If a dealer's equipment isn't able to change it then other equipment (eg Autologic) may. My Faultmate tool indicates it can although I haven't tried it.
Given that the UK is now metric, I would imagine they will be changing their speed signs to metric in the near future, just like we did all those years ago

I do not think I would worry too much about the speedometer numbers but the steering wheel, now that is more interesting.
Actually the real problem is not where the steering is but one looking the wrong direction first when at an intersection - that can be real exciting.
I got my tuneup in Brisbane a few years back - poking out of a side street onto a quiet main road and first glancing left when I should have looked right - real educational.
For those of us who grew up with Imperial and went through the changeover to the Metric System, this is easy.

From Wikipedia:
As for the countries still using mph (and how many of these will the OP be touring?):As of 2014, road signs in the UK have not been metricated, and there are no plans to metricate them.
These include roads in the United Kingdom,[1] the United States,[2] and UK and US territories; American Samoa,[3] the Bahamas,[4] Belize,[5] British Virgin Islands,[6] the Cayman Islands,[7] Dominica,[8] the Falkland Islands,[9] Grenada,[10] Guam,[11] Burma,[12] The N. Mariana Islands,[13] Samoa,[14] St. Lucia,[15] St. Vincent & The Grenadines,[16] St. Helena,[17] St. Kitts & Nevis,[18] Turks & Caicos Islands,[19] the U.S. Virgin Islands,[20][21] Antigua & Barbuda (although km are used for distance),[22] and Puerto Rico (same as former).[22]

Interesting how there have been a lot of replies so far, but no response from the OP, we still don't know where he's going..lol

Exactly, Baz.
The lack of metric signs in the UK has caused problems with the influx of Euro trucks. Most bridge strikes are from Euro trucks where the driver doesn't understand clearance heights given in feet.
