From what I can tell, that looks like a pretty nice bike.

The quality of that bike, just from the pics, looks leaps and bounds over what the hawk and enforcer look like... It's crazy how much better quality it looks. I'm embarrassed by my bike after seeing those pics

No need for that. I'm just happy to see that the quality is coming up! More competition=more good affordable choices for all of us!

That is a beautiful bike.

The fast ace suspension on that bike costs more than a complete hawk .

Ski_rush · 04-14-2017, 07:24 AM

I hadn't seen the price of that bike. $3800?...almost 4 Grand!... Not that the pitster isn't nice looking... But when you get in that price bracket, it makes it tough to rationalize getting a Chinese bike over a more mainstream one.

I figured this would come up. Believe me, it was a struggle.

In the end I got a waaay better price. (Closer to $3000) Plus, I could not find a used 250 with EFI. A new Wr250 is $8000, so I can buy 2.5 LXRs and still be ok. If this bike wasn't as well finished as it is, I never would have popped for it.

I too am crazy jealous, and I thought that exact same thing.

BUT; when you look at the purchase price of the bike, see the quality in it's parts, and one more MAJOR thing: take all the performance mods you can think of and throw them at an Enforcer, Brozz, whatever....anddollar for dollar this bike is worth it. My Brozz was $1700 shipped to my door. Since, I've probably dumped another $500 (just guessing) so now we're up to $2200 bucks. After that money was spent I will end up with a bike with LITERALLY HALF the power-to-weight ratio that this bike has BONE STOCK. I'm a new rider and can already see myself outgrowing the Brozz. This 32hp machine may be more $ initially, but in the long run, I bet this machine gives longer lasting enjoyment.

Anybody want to buy a 2016 Brozz with only 10 miles on it? Comes with ALOT of upgrades

Quick note on a cold start this morning:

1. I left the key and ignition on switch in the on position all night like a dummy. Dash was lit up when I walked into the garage. Doh!

2. It still fired right off. Idled high for a few seconds and then settled into the idle we set last night. (about 1400-1500 rpm)

Very happy about it passing this test. Biggest reason I wanted fuel injection.
