Looks like a fun playbike for bombing around town, backroads, and empty parking lots. Hell, Honda has been building that same style engine minus the FI since what, the early 60's? Powered how many million streetbikes, ATC's, trail bikes, scooters etc. worldwide so they should have the kinks worked out of it by now.

I can see it now.
Black with Tabpul Industries graphics. Custom made tight tucked exhaust with a muffler by the wheel. Some sort of crazy two toned wheels like the Superduke R, that chop like a fishing lure. Screaming YOLO while riding by some hipsters on the back wheel. Spreading the gospel of the #30pack.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I've thrown around the idea of a 250 motard. I don't really care to have a sport bike type. The 250F and 450F are great engines but again the maintenance on them seems like it is gonna take all the fun out of it. Not to mention the price tag on the bikes. Something about the Grom keeps me leaning towards it. You can big bore, stroke, and cam one for super cheap. So if something were to happen to the motor for any reason, it wouldn't be down for a long time. I'd love to have 450 power but a bike like that really isn't in the budget nor is the desire to work on one. And I would probably have to just buy a dirt bike and change out wheels and brakes, then add lights to have what I want.

Buy it, change the oil every 2,000, clean the airfilter once in a while and check the valves every 10-12,000 miles (if you really want to). There's plenty of dudes on TT and ADV with 30-50K on their bikes and few problems all around. The DRZ weighs 20-30lbs at most more than the road going 250's you can buy with more power. If you do an FCR swap and a few other mods they will book it. Buy a set of 18/21" wheels and you can go from supermoto to an enduro on knobbies in 30 minutes.

I wanted a Grom until I finally found one... pictures and/or videos don't highlight just how small they are.
Think scooter sized. I have and love a Yamaha WR250X, at 5'5" it might be a little tall for you but they do offer lowering links, seats. etc. |

Never been a big Suzuki fan. Its my least favorite of the big 4. If I'm going to spend that kind of money on a bike Im going home with the Honda or Yamaha. Lighter and makes 20 more horsepower.
All of them are gonna suck for maintenance. Of course you have some leeway but a piston every 15 hrs. Even if you went every 200 hrs it would be a pain in the dick. And yeah race conditions vs. street. But any thing I'm on is gonna live near race conditions. I'd feel cheated if i spent that much on a bike and putted around on it.

http://www.visordown.com/common/images/copyrightimage.gif Guess how I can tell you don't know what you are talking about... Even very aggressive street riding is nowhere near race conditions The maintainence schedules you are looking at are for motocross bikes Motocross is like Formula 1 on engines, the entire race is spent at max or getting to max rpm's. The limited traction puts less load on the engines so its closer to just revving and engine in neutral than driving a bike on the road. Put street treads on and ride on pavement the load on the engine is dramaticly increased and helps keep the engine from beating itself to death. If you go up a tooth on the front sprocket or down a couple on the back(higher gear) you can significantly increase the life of a motocross engine just because of the load increase The only people who "live near race conditions" on the street are either shit talkers or squids |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I've ridden a grom twice, on neighborhood streets, it's a scooter. A cool scooter, but still a scooter. I don't think "real" (part in green) is the right word. If you mean "street" then I agree with that claim. But if you are saying a grom is more a motorcycle than the RM250 you claim to have owned then I have to call BS. MotoXer's have excellent turn in whether set up for on road or off, and if your RM was slower to get to 40 than your grom, then something was fucking wrong with your RM The smallest bike I own is a KLX 110 (a little over 140 now), it has been cam'd, piped, carbed, bored, new ecu,fourth gear shift drum'd, clutched, and super moto'd. It will top out about 60, and is REAL quick to 40, but I dont kid myself about it being a "real" bike. Not saying it isn't fun, and I love riding it, but putting anything in that class over a 250 motoxer as a "real" bike is just fuckin silly Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: I have one. We met at CW4, Pistol. We are about the same size (iirc). 5'9 190lb. edit: The Grom IS NOTHING LIKE A SCOOTER. You clearly havent ridden one. Its quick to turn in and qucik to get to 40.

Of course the RM that I "claimed" to own was mental... (Lol interwebs/Arf stigma of lies) I'm by no means a pro rider. I've been on dirt since a kid. Shattered my leg and didn't ride much after until around 2007. I rode the GROM nearly everyday until winter last year. I stand by its nothing like a scooter, since I own both. The Grom fills a fun part in the market. But for the cost of new, I'd rather throw that $3k towards a new FZ-09 (in hindsight, but I would not sell my Grom now).... Cause that's hot. |

A grom will attract other dudes on groms.
A vespa will be just as much fun to ride but will attract women. If I were to buy a >200cc >12" wheel "bike" just for tooling downtown and fucking around, its attraction to the opposite sex would weigh much heavier in the equation than its"performance" capabilities. A grom is a scooter at worst, a mini bike at best, what it is not, is a chick magnet. If you are gonna get something in that size/class, get the one that will get you Laid. Grom= dudes Vespa=ladies |

Girl on grom is an ad. Go cruise a grom and a vespa through town on a sat night and see which attracts which. My point is they are in the same class and about the same experience to ride, one will get you bros, one will get you ho's. Just depends on who you want to hang out with. |

Quoted:
Never been a big Suzuki fan. Its my least favorite of the big 4. If I'm going to spend that kind of money on a bike Im going home with the Honda or Yamaha. Lighter and makes 20 more horsepower.
All of them are gonna suck for maintenance. Of course you have some leeway but a piston every 15 hrs. Even if you went every 200 hrs it would be a pain in the dick. And yeah race conditions vs. street. But any thing I'm on is gonna live near race conditions. I'd feel cheated if i spent that much on a bike and putted around on it.
http://www.visordown.com/common/images/copyrightimage.gif Guess how I can tell you don't know what you are talking about... Even very aggressive street riding is nowhere near race conditions The maintainence schedules you are looking at are for motocross bikes Motocross is like Formula 1 on engines, the entire race is spent at max or getting to max rpm's. The limited traction puts less load on the engines so its closer to just revving and engine in neutral than driving a bike on the road. Put street treads on and ride on pavement the load on the engine is dramaticly increased and helps keep the engine from beating itself to death. If you go up a tooth on the front sprocket or down a couple on the back(higher gear) you can significantly increase the life of a motocross engine just because of the load increase The only people who "live near race conditions" on the street are either shit talkers or squids Guess how I know you don't now me, and have never ridden with me. I reckon I'm just a squid in your book, though. Keep generalizing that someone won't keep their engine revved to the max, and I'll keep assuming that you're loud mouth that can't ride himself, therefore puts everyone else down If you race on the street you are an idiot. Take it is o the track where it belongs If you have to keep your engine "revved to the max" you probably need a bigger engine. You don't have to believe me if you don't want to, but racing and street riding are nothing alike. Even if your a total badass |

On that note. Check out this shit.
And its more fun hammering on something all the time. Like someone else said, riding a slow bike fast is more fun than riding a fast bike slow.

Bigger engines are for guys with tiny dicks, and aren't needed to go faster than the rubber and asphalt friction coefficient will allow Most fun I've ever had was chasing down some twits on liter bikes while riding my 250.
But internet possing contest aside, pistol, I'm gonna need some peeptek files, because it's looking like I'll get a Grom as my birthday present to myself this year
