    I agree. They are more fun if you have friends who ride them also but i was always picking my supermoto over the grom.

    Those small tires on potholed northern Ontario roads, the wash board gravel road I live down, and lugging my fat ass up steep hills built over Canadian shield made it not so fun. Probably the reason I was the only one in town that rode one.

    It's pretty close to a 10. Just a few scratches from when my girlfriend and her brother were kids, and they and their friends would crawl over it. Cleaned up and polished out nice though.

    Nope. Use their chat function during business hours. They refunded me the difference of the sale price on a jacket I had bought and then returned to get a different size in all of 5 mins. I’m sure they’re experiencing issues due to covid right now as well

    I THINK your front fender is on backwards. IIRC that black bumper you can see on it should be on the rear left hand side of the fender, to keep the cables from chaffing the paint.

    That thing is a GEM!

    It's the only bike we have with a backseat so my fiance and I ride it two up haha. We also live by the beach so it's nice to cruise around and get lunch
    I had a Honda motard, loved it but it's similar size to the grom and isn't fuel injected. Little bit faster though, I could barely take it on the highway

    I can see that happening. Hopefully a supermoto will be my next bike and the grom will be for the wife, guests, and camping trips.

    Between the grom and a 250L you werent really missing much. But a grom and a drz 400 (thats been jetted) theres quite a bit of a difference. Really the only thing a grom does better imo is mpg. Its great for that around town since itll get around 100 but you lose all the suspension travel a supermoto will have. And parts are bloody expensive (motor mods). Just my opinion though.

    Never did two up on it. Sounds cozy. My girlfriend did learn clutch on it, and some of the basics of riding. It's a great, non threatening introduction to motorcycling. And your location and usage seems ideal for the bike.

    May have asked before or not....after a good ride, bike is nice and warmed up, I swear I can't find neutral to save my life. Am I crazy?? But when the bike is cold, boom! Like nothing. What say the peanut gallery? :notsure:
