Here at MO we like riding slow bikes fast. Both Chief Editor Duke and contributor Gabe Ets-Hokin have written columns about it (read Duke’s here (http://www.motorcycle.com/features/dukes-den-the-joy-of-riding-slow-ish-bikes-fast.html)and Gabe’s here (http://www.motorcycle.com/features/skidmarks-slow-bikes-fast.html)), but it’s a sentiment all of us on staff share. To prove it, I’ve signed up the entire staff, sans Tom (he’s got a press intro to attend. Ppfff), to come race with me in a 24-hour race on mini bikes, organized by the United Mini Racing Association (http://www.raceumra.com/). Our chariot that will hopefully lead us to glory (embarrassment, more likely)? None other than the hugely popular Honda (http://www.motorcycle.com/manufacturer/honda.html) Grom.
While never intended to be a racing machine, the Grom aftermarket has gone wild with ways to transform Honda’s little funster into a weapon capable of terrorizing a racetrack. What follows are 10 upgrades we’re throwing onto our Grom that will not only give us a shot at running at the front, but also help the Grom survive 24 hours of abuse. All told, the following list represents $4,564.22 in aftermarket parts (and this isn’t even everything we have), more than $1400 more than the bike itself! Stay tuned, as we’ll be documenting the installation of many of these parts in a later story.
