Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

Correct the red is the gt and the blue is the gx.

Both bikes are the exact same minus the front cowl and the rear subframe and electronic suspension.

 

That's a pretty big change b/t the same model. I kinda dig it. I guess it's like the CB500F and CB500X sharing a lot of it's makeup......maybe

 

Ya it is tbh. It's really neat to go from plush to sport since the whole bike will lower it was wild to see. But lotta moneys!

 

Yeah, with the exception of the Ural......I rarely look at bikes more than 13ish K

 

A mile isnt bad but i hear ya. Get up to speed and keep it there, ha. Stock grom does 50 downhill?

 

Haha fair the gt is 15k which is around the prices of the other bikes I was looking at.

 

I've never ridden a Grom

Gotcha

 

Yup so I made it harder on my self with liking this style as well so gotta shop around and see what is out there now lol

 

I was watching Dork in the Road(I think) and saw this little contraption. Pretty cool deal

Brake Free - Smart Wireless Helmet Brake Light – Brake Free Technologies

 

Or look at it as it gives you more options to find a better price

 

Not for me. I dont need something to falsely light up if im not on the brake. I think itd be confusing for drivers too

 

I just checked to see if Amazon had a knockoff one.....still $99. That's much for me to take a chance. I'd buy one if it were like $20 just to check it out

 

Stock Grom will do about 65 downhill. I can cruise at 55mph if it’s flat.

 

Haha fair fair

 

Tried to buy a 2023 crf50 today. Guy wanted $1700, I was going to low ball him at $1200, brought $1300 just in case. Thing was completely clapped out. Didn’t even make him an offer.

 

Should have offered 200 haha

 

Man i dont remember my grom going that fast at all.

How does one clap out a bike that bad in 2 years..

 

You must be fat

Not really sure how, but it wasn’t good. Auto clutch wasn’t releasing all the way, stopped to check it over after I rode it and oil was dripping on the ground, fork had 1” of free play, thing was faded from the sun and rust in multiple spots. But you know, garage kept in good condition!

 

@woodtickgreg

Were them pics at????

 

As per the rules.....
At the dealership first thing in the morning. I'm the only one there.

Brand new TDUB.

Very easy to load on the moto tote, pushed it right up.

Plenty of clearance from the truck.

I paid a lot for this wheel strap but it works excellent and held it very securely.



At home. Moto tote worked excellent. No wobble and very secure. Highly recommend this carrier, expensive but worth it. I just wasn't comfortable with the thought of carrying my bike for long ranges with a cheap carrier. I will be ordering the light kit for it.

Got my logo on it and fresh trail permits. I can ride it anywhere.

The mistress and her little sister.

Kinda busy but I rode it to church to do some volunteer work. She now has 4 miles on the clock. Man this little bike is so fun, so lightweight and a hoot ride. Pretty sure this would be the last bike I would ever get rid of. Mini motos rule.
