With all the clunky transmission, stiff clutch, and jerky throttle complaints going around.

But what about us guys who ride year 'round, what's MY excuse?

I kept stalling my Grom yesterday, it just wouldn't go forwards when I let out the clutch unless I have it gas.

I'm so tempted for buying a grom, they look like a lot of fun , just never seen one" in the flesh " as it were .

They're great! You just can't take them too seriously and you'll have a blast. It's essential to not have one as a only bike.

Cool :thumbup: What is a realistic topspeed for a grom ?

Will they hold 60mph easily enough on flat roads ? I know head winds and hills will slow them down abit .

i used to have a Honda C90 , fun little bike , loved the light weight of it . But in full tuck position it only did 52mph and slowed down to 30 on the hills and head winds ,it did have quite a few miles on that little engine though.
