Thinking about selling the tard for a new grom. Thoughts?

It's a 2009 crf230m

 

Not nice to call your boy toy a tard, Rebecca

But sounds like a good trade to me.

 

No one likes the Kawi 125 grom competition? Is it even out yet?

 

I'm a Honda girl

 

eh. the only advantage I see is the grom doesn't have a carb.

other than that, isn't your sm already pretty small?

 

Everyone is going grom..

 

That's honestly the motivation haha. But the tard I can take on the highway for small stints. However I live in the city again now

 

Do it! Look for a good deal and then if you want to sell the Grom in the future you can probably sell it for what you bought it for or nearly so (if you got a good deal to begin with).

 

I have a good friend that sells and buys bikes very often; just about a different bike every 1-3 months. We all give him shit but he's had probably 15 different bikes in the couple years I've known him.

 

The new grom style or old?

I'd say keep the crf for city. The grom is fun but stupid slow, the only real benefit is the 100mpg. I still like my grom though so don't get me wrong

 

I can argue benefits for both. I really like the new one, but I'm sure I could get a deal on the old one. Other thought is selling the tard to put towards the z4m. But I love having a cheap little fun bike

 

the motard is officially for sale

Specifics on the bike?

 

2009 crf230m with about 3500 miles, 2800 with the fmf pipe

 

Wait for the new one @DoubleRGirl

 

the new grom?

i'm thinking of whenever it sells just holding onto the money and seeing if i miss having a baby bike. if i don't then i'll put the cash towards the new car. i posted it on cl this morning and have had 5 people text me already

 

Yea. I'd get the facelifted grom over the old grom, unless there's somebody dumping theirs cheap to get a new one.

How much do you ride the sumo now? I hardly doubt you'd be riding a grom much more than it.

 

Pulled the original spark plug and read it. Seems to be a little rich, might be why the bike falls on its face at the top of 4th. Pulled the 160 main and put in the 155, haven't ridden it yet but it feels essentially the same. I'll have to ride it and read the spark plug again to see if it helped.
