You can hear the RPM difference when it read 80 vs the uhaul truck. The uhaul truck was pulling on me when it read about 71 mph. After Hancadam's excellent work in the motorbike science testing field, I am pretty disappointed. I'm going to have to go do a GPS test run myself soon. 10 mph off is quite alot. 80 mph should be about 65-67 or so then.




Will post if I do, or know of someone who has. I haven't bought a brozz myself so won't buy parts for it out of pocket. Just riding the demo unit. I'll test the super moto version were getting likely end of this year. Comes with the same engine but different gears more suited to street riding. My area(such as the video) makes more sense to get a more highway friendly bike for personal use.





I have a dealer who is big into the modified KTM bikes (i rode it---would never buy that bike. Its crazy fast). He has gotten a few Brozz from us and he also says they need more fuel in the higher RPM range. Whats interesting is that he claims the orange bikes will run 10 mph faster than the other colors. He was telling me his orange bike was showing 80 mph going uphill. His employee rode that orange bike before it sold and will vouch it made noticeably more power than the others one they've got. I'm sold out of orange ones at the moment so can't test.
I can tell ya them Orange Brozzs are faster for sure

Glad I have my orange Blue Eagle Brozz on the way. It's taking longer than you thought Jeff, but it should be delivered on Tuesday.

If you don't mind me asking, what was your total cost? Does it include free liftgate service with delivery?

It was $1749 total. It's being delivered tomorrow and the shipping company said they would put it in my garage for me on delivery when we made the appointment.

Thanks, that's good to know. I wish I had time to hear about your bike and see some pics (you know we all love pics) but I may pull the trigger today.

Any video without a GPS to show correlation to the speedometer should be viewed with a healthy amount of skepticism. And if you do see one holding above 70mph, especially climbing up a gentle grade, chances are that a decent amount of work went into the modifications to squeeze out the extra horsepower.

Another thing for someone to consider if top speed and highway travel are key parts of the purchase decision: the brakes. Let's just say that they ain't over-sized for a 2nd/3rd world utility bike, which is basically what they're designed for. Since your kinetic energy goes up exponentially with speed, having to come to a sudden stop on a highway is going to put them to the test.

There's a reason why these bikes cost $1500 or so, and why other ones cost more.

I totally understand. I think you will be happy with the Brozz. I couldn't find any really bad experiences in my research.

Agreed. As I mentioned in the video, the front brake does not give the rider a warm and fuzzy at highway speeds. Which is understandable as its not meant to be a regular highway commuter.

Anybody know what cruising at 55 is like? Is it rev’d high? Any videos on cruising specs?

Top speed on my bone stock Brozz was 64mph GPS verified. After all the mods I’ve done to date top speed is 75mph GPS verified. I have a few more mods coming so I’m hoping for upper 70’s to maybe 80mph if everything is perfect. I do all my speed runs on flat road usually interstate highway, and in normal not tucked riding position.
Happypappy, with my gearing at 55mph my bike runs at a smooth 5500 rpm, approximate. Can’t remember what the stock gearing would do at 55mph.

I have a completely stock Brozz and the fastest I have ever gotten it was 63 mph GPS. Speedo said 69. Flat road, not tucked, I weight about 185.

The extra power and speed are from the porting and decking of the head that Herbie did.

It's a long video, but go to minute 12, highway cruising, by the Gopro gps i was going around 50 to 53 mph depending the moment and i was in 4th gear.



This one:

Highway going around 60 to 63,5 mph.
The GoPro gps is quite accurate but is quite small so there are delays...





Some people in youtube will talk trash about these motorcycle and say crap that is just not true...
These dual sport small cc motorcycle do have a big problem on highway, that funny enough most of these youtubers don't mention it. They are too light...
