Grom

Tyga has bodywork for the Grom. Tyga performance has bodywork for the Grom,

I want one bad.

 

That leads to the question i was asking earlier and i dont think it has actually been answered yet. Are these things safe (relatively) for public streets? Can they pull away from red lights with the rest of the traffic, are the brakes worth a shit, etc?

I dont know the original purpose of these bikes (why Honda made them). Is it considered an alternative to a scooter for city riding, or is it meant to be a toy and shouldnt be ridden on public roads?

I wouldnt take it further than about 10 miles or so. Just to the gym, post office and shit like that. Would it be good for that?

 

I have my moments

The thing is, they are cheap enough that it isnt that far fetched of an idea. I mean, it isnt like i would be trying to create a spec RSV4 series. It would obviously take some planning and coordination with WERA, I would try to involve a dealership and get some kind of 10-bike discount. I would talk to Van about having STG be a title sponsor for the spec class (help with race prepping them). Perhaps if it "takes off", I would get 5 more the next year.

 

Here ya go Chris

 

Holy shit!

Who makes all that stuff (bodywork/etc)?

 

Not sure, found it on hondagrom.net

 

That thing is bad ASS!

 

Probably Tyga. They make some nice shit for grey bikes.

 

Uh. What if I want a black one or a red one?

 

Damnit, why didnt yall tell me the Grom had a digital dash?













It is over.

 

I'm being reminded of my teenage years and my KE100. I remember the day I got that baby up to 60... drafting a pickup truck going downhill. LOL

 

And I am thinking that is the fun part of such a little bike. First off, it is much smaller so you are closer to the ground etc. It is a different sensation. And there is no excitement in getting a knee down or getting our regular bikes to 50-60mph, hell they are still in 1st gear.

But all of those kind of things on a littleass bike would make me .

 

Yep, looks like their bodywork for the VFR400. Or it could look like a Duc, http://tyga-performance.com/site/product_info.php?products_id=3439

 

yes they are street legal, they pull away from the lights just as good as the ninja 250, the brakes are ok but you can always upgrade oh and I got my to 55mph with my 230lb fat ass on it

 

There's very little profit margin in Groms.

 

Local dealer has 2 on the floor at MSRP. I actually thought they were a bit bigger than they are. About the same or just a bit bigger than my GSXR50.

We have one in the crate waiting for Honda to come get it next week, unless I win the lottery.

 

You are in Virginia? Is it Black?

 

Red, the color I wanted. Yes, in Virginia.

 

Just buy it. you know you want that targa body work anyway...
