My Buddy has a new friend!
We picked up our new Grom on Friday!!
It's a fun ride fo' sho. I just have to re-train my motorcycle muscles. I haven't had to clutch/shift in a while.
Now my husband and I can ride together, 125cc Hooligan style.
The rest of the photos are here.

So far the Psycho is beating it off the line, but knowing my husband as I do I am sure he won't let that stand much longer Boys, they just HAVE to be competitive!JHScoot wrote:holy cow its a little motorcycle!!!

Those things sure do look like a lot of fun! Congrats!!!
I could look this up, but I'll be lazy - do you know what the dry weight of the Grom is? Just wondering how it compares to a scoot in that way because the other dimensions are so similar, from looking at your pics.
Also, saw one posted on ADVRider yesterday where the new owner had already 'skinned' it white with some body panels he ordered online. I am not a big fan of the angular, "rice rocket" look of most modern bikes, but the Grom is toned down enough that it is actually pretty cool looking.

suburban streets, or I-495 the "Capital Beltway" as my friend Kevin takes his Grom on now. He gets on the barely traveled HOT lanes and pegs out the throttle at about 60 for the trip around. Good times, sweet looking bike!wheelbender6 wrote:Cool. I think we will be seeing a lot of those Groms on the suburban streets soon. The name reminds me of that Claymation dog named Grommet.
