MINIMOTO BBR MM12P Race Bike First Look

BBR MM12P Race Bike First Look

The Brown Brothers have come up with a budget mini of their own which is supposed to demolish Chinese imitations while being competitive in price.
BBR Motorsports is known as a leader in mini bike performance, and the company from Auburn, Washington doesn’t screw around when it comes to building race bikes – big or small. It’s also a well-known fact that you can take out a second mortgage to cover the cost of building some of these rip-snorting backyard racers. With tough times ahead for the economy, we all need our grins more than ever, so BBR has come up with a solution that will allow consumers to still get their high-performance mini fix without having to kill limited resources. Starting this summer, BBR will be ready to ship its new MiniMoto 12” Production Race Bike with a base price of $4000.

The BBR Production uses parts sourced from outside the US to keep costs low, but those components are manufactured to BBR standards similar to the way bigger companies like BMW outsource and maintain quality control. Even though purchasing parts from places like China and Taiwan instantly bring up red flags, consider that they also place orders from Italy where the Polisport plastic and Marzocchi forks come from, and boxes from Japan are filled with Keihin carburetors, so don’t think that the Brown Brothers are funding just any old sweat shop.

The MM12P features a BBR MP2 frame. The 6061 forged aluminum perimeter design looks gnarly and can handle the big kids, and the subframe is aluminum too. If you’ve got the cash and desire, a BBR USA V3 Perimeter Frame Kit can substitute, but the entire bike is fully upgradable to all BBR USA components.

A Daytona International 150cc motor with 12.5:1 compression ratio churns out the power, and a four-speed manual transmission puts it down with an N-1-2-3-4 pattern. Like we mentioned, a Keihin PE28 carb dumps in the mix, and the ignition has adjustable curves. BBR bolts on its production D2 stainless steel exhaust to finish the combustion process. The fork is a 35mm inverted Marzocchi with 0.45 kg springs (0.42 and 0.50 kg available). Compression and damping adjusters control the eight inches of travel. Out back is the BBR SuperShock with the same amount of travel. Compression and rebound are adjustable and the standard 1100-lb spring can be swapped for 975 or 1200 lbs.


Jeremy McGrath can afford a full-blown BBR race bike, but for most of us, this little hotshot will have to suffice.
BBR throws a whole bucket of smaller parts at the MM12P like the race team hubs, single piston, full-floating calipers, oversized footpegs and a tall seat. All the mounting points are Kawasaki KLX110-based. With the single-gallon fuel tank topped off, BBR claims it weighs 138 pounds. Drilled wave rotors front and rear help keep off the pounds as does the aluminum brake pedal and kickstarter, and it is a race bike so there’s no kickstand in stock form.

This is how BBR describes the new offering. ”The BBR MM12P Production Bike is designed for those customers who do not want to spend $10,000 on a hand-fabricated BBR USA Race Bike, but who are also unwilling to waste their money on a disposable knock-off bike. The BBR Production Bike offers the perfect balance of quality, performance, affordability, and pride of ownership.”

We can’t wait to get ahold of one to see if that’s true. BBR is taking pre-orders now for bikes to ship this summer. Only 100 limited edition machines will be released in 2009. A deposit will be required and 2010 manufacturing is still to be decided.
