2018 Brozz 250 Top Speed

[PeaceSportsAtlanta]

Now I realize most people don't buy this type of bike to speed down the highway but you can on a brozz if needed!! 4th gear tops out at 60 mph. 5th gear allows you to hit 70 mph (and more if downhill)


Post your Top speed achieved and mods if you have a 2018 Brozz.

Stock speedos are hopelessly optimistic.

The older speedos where even more optimistic... I know a case, where the speedo was telling the rider "80 mph" but i was actually 60 mph.....

A couple of observations...If I may...and I mean no disrespect...

1. I doubting the bike hit over 65mph. And, one reason I think that is that the OP didn't quite keep up with a Uhaul truck towing a car. There's no way that moving truck, pulling a car, was going over 70MPH...let alone 75! I just don't think that's possible. Not only are many of those truck governed, but pulling a car at 70 to 75mph just wouldn't happen, especially if it were loaded. And, the rider of the Brozz didn't quite keep up with that truck. So, I'm thinking the bike topped out at a more realistic 60 or 65mph. I think the OP should test it again with his iphone.

2. The OP said he's riding the bike with stock shipping oil. That seems crazy. I wouldn't care what Bashan said. Even if I had a new car, changing the oil to better oil isn't "bad" for the engine.

3. On a positive note, the bike did seem pretty smooth and capable on the road.

4. To the OP, running that bike on that highway with cars whizzing by you took some balls. Kudos.

Read again what i said "80mph" but it was actually 60mph. I know that the speedo lies.

About the oil, well i did change it, but thousand thousands of people ride the first 1000 km using that oil and those bike live a long life.

The title of the YouTube video says verbatim "Brozz 250 goes 75+ MPH". That's the title of the video...All I'm saying is that's not possible. There's just no way.

I have the Apollo, which I realize is a different bike, but I have an upgraded carb and jets, street friendly tires, and an engine that from I read puts out 1 or 2 more HP and the best that I could do was 65 and quite honestly, it was probably closer to 60.

So, claiming a stock Brozz (full of stock fish oil) does 75+ mph out of the crate [as he's being passed by a Uhaul truck pulling a trailer] doesn't seem honest to me. I also see the video was posted by Peace Sports. So, now it seems like false advertising to me.

It all seems pretty fishy to me.

Ship me one, I'll be happy to work out the "Top Speed" details for everyone

I bet you’d hit 60-65 tops

I just did 200mph on my Magna.

I hit a GPS verified 79mph (flat road, tucked, and zero wind something I call a fluke run). I can hit 74 to 75 consistently. See mods list lol. The Brozz might be a nice bike, but it aint coming from the factory with power equivalent to my setup. Think it does, then toss a mikuni 125 main jet and a 45 pilot on a stock brozz and tell me how it runs, because thats my jetting.

Same here. 80 mph GPS verified once and I'm a little lighter than Dan.

A little? You flatter me lol.

I like the Brozz. The Bashans do come with good gearing. I'd like to see a GPS verified reading, not that these things are really made for open highway. Thanks for posting Peace!

Just ran out and tested for this thread.

Speedo is 5-10 mph off from GPS. I say 5-10 because the GPS is also off some from my truck and boat (both are stock and 1 year old). But definitely much further off with bike indicating it's the most inaccurate as expected. It definitely seems to be on average 6-7 mph off. Sometimes the bike and GPS are within a few miles within each other, but other times they are up to 10mph as shown in the picture.

My GPS indicated top speed today was 64mph. I hit 67mph before, according to GPS. I ran out of road and was driving 1 handed, so may have been able to get a few more.

Stock gearing, minkuni carb, eBay exhaust, stock tires. I'm big, 6'2, 275 pnds.

The speedo being off is aggravating. My RX3 was off by 8 to as high as 12 mph at highway speeds. That was one of the few disappointments I had on that bike. I felt like Zong Shen put together a hell of a nice little bike but screwed the pooch on the speedo.

From what I've been told, the manufacturers make the speedo's optimistic for "safety reasons". I guess getting run over is safer than going too fast.

In all honesty though, I've never had a bike with an accurate speedo, ever. Even my Vics and HD's were off somewhat. Hell, my old chopper didn't have any gauges or switch gear. It was like a bicycle.

I always rode "flow of traffic". You basically know how fast you're going anyway. Just like gas gauges. The Kingpin doesn't even have a gas gauge. Just a gas light. It's really up to the rider to slosh the tank once in a while and to simply be aware of how much gas a guy has.

Maybe I'm just old or it's my dirt bike upbringing but these things just aren't important to me. Like my old Honda 350 I had in high school. Ride it till it quits, flip to reserve and find a gas station.
