Honda Grom

[Turtle]

These things look like a blast. I saw some from racing on the track.

Sadly I think its a downgrade to a motorcycle(sv650) that I currently have.

I've been on a gy6 ruckus. While fun for the moment, not sure if I can own one to use.

If I didn't have a motorcycle already, I would consider the grom as a toy.

That's why I like the grom. It's a toy to me, not a legitimate motorcycle or means of transport. I had a Honda CH80 (elite) and it was a blast gooning it around town, but, it only did 40mph and was NOT fun riding on some of the 45-50 mph roads I've got out here in Lake Zurich/ Barrington. I was looking for an elite 110-150 when I found out about the grom, and the fact that it'll do 60 comfortably and has a conventional transmission as opposed to the scooters CVT system appeals to me from a fun standpoint. What's not to love about a "scooter" with gears that can do wheelies

I'm personally not incredibly comfortable street riding because of dumb fucks on the road and every time I get comfortable with the fact of buying a bike, someone local always seems to get in an accident or killed by an idiot in a car. This is going to be an around town toy/ stepping stone bike. It'll be great for my sub five mile round trip work commute, 10 mile Luke's commute, etc... I've had fast dirt bikes and am no stranger to riding, I just don't trust the general population at the end of the day.

You pretty much nailed on why I got one. It fits my gf as a perfect "daily bike" although it will be never be used that way. Wheelies couldnt be easier, but ill admit im afraid to try a stoppie on it lol

Got in trouble for riding it in my own house [emoji35]

My GROM loves the longer trips haha. I live in Lake Zurich and so far it's been to Sycamore, Sugar Grove, Park Ridge, Batavia, West Chicago and Woodstock. All of which are at least a 25 mile one-way trip. I don't mind the "lack" of power. It's kinda fun navigating city streets and back roads as opposed to just hopping on the freeway.

In the first seven days I owned the Grom I put 350 miles on it. Regrettably, that number is just over 400 now, two weeks later. Damn rain always pops out of nowhere so if there's more than a 20% chance I don't risk it.
