that it is. so far my "engine destroying" count is up to 3 total

jeez and here i thought you had a little more power. grom would kill your bike!

im ready to put back the drz and get riding it.

 

Yup, pretty gutless. What's dumb is how much they detuned it from the CBR250R version of the motor. It made 28hp stock.

Before the WR plan I was going to start adding the CBR300R internals which would bump it up to 286cc and ~32hp. Way more solid than the crappy big bore kits that are currently out for my bike.

But screw it, losing 50lbs and gaining 35hp sounds way more fun

I wish you were going to be in town next weekend. I'm actually off then...

 

I'll know more later this week. There could be the possibility of me being home. I'd still need to get the bike together or ride the grom I suppose

 

Cool. Let me know. I need to get out and do some more riding. Plus if you ride the grom we'll practically be equal haha

 

what fun would that be then?

 

Idk, not like you can hold a wheelie with the extra power of the DRZ anyways. So what's the difference?

 

im actually getting it pretty damn close anymore. but i still need practice.


did one the other day on the grom in front of a off-duty motorcycle cop, ha. screw em

 

Nice. Pretty sure the only way I'll get mine to wheelie in 2nd is if I put a bigger sprocket on. Not happening.

Only reason I wish I lived in the city. More places to ride and Grom life.

 

The grom only pulls up in 1st with clutch ups. I'm gonna practice stand ups on it too soon.

I want to ride with some of the other groms soon

 

Thats hideous....can't imagine the weight of your bike with 23hp....mine is barely enough at 310ish (my guess) and just shy of 40hp

 

It's still fun and a great first bike. But it's definitely time for me to move on to something bigger and better.

 

Im drooling over here!!!!! I believe that will be my next bike!!!! How do you like it?

 

DRZ or taco for 45min ride/drive to gf's parents house? I'm meeting here there tomorrow so no passenger or anything either way.

 

Either one will be CLASSY!!!! Both show you have great taste in my opinion hahahaha

 

They haven't seen the bike yet.

Her step dad has a totally stock 2nd gen prerunner.

 

Ride the bike. Cause no fucks given

 

Rode the bike! Almost ate it on a sharp turn on a dirt road that i came up on too fast. My butt and wrist were numb by the time i got there. Was fun otherwise!

I feel like a sail when its windy though!

 

Gotta take it easy mang

 

Just rode back from there, the DRZ seat really does suck!

Is there anything you can do to make riding in the wind better?

I had a tiny bit of fun on some dirt when i was out there, need to ride moar!

 

Lay down on the tank, but sometimes that cramps your neck.

You could also put your feet on the rear pegs if that helps. Sometimes I put my legs up on the radiators to stretch out.

Side wind, you can do nothing about. But front wind, you can usually move around to a different spot and be a 0.01 more comfortable momentarily
