Technical Overview
1895 Millet Motorcycle Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Built around Millet's allround motorcycle platform, the 1895 Millet Motorcycle pairs a 625 cc (38.1 cu in) air-cooled radial architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 1.2 HP (0.9 kW) at 180 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 1-speed gearbox. With a specific output of 1.9 HP per liter, the engine character is prioritizing low-RPM tractability, mechanical longevity and relaxed throttle response over peak redline numbers.
