I want one! I've since upgraded to a 600 from my 250, so I've got this void to fill.

Neat! Wouldn't be legal on freeways here in CA, but that's not its purpose.

Bentley813 · May 14th, 2013, 09:15 PM

What exactly would be the purpose of this bike? Looks cool and everything, but I just don't get what it's use would be.

It's a better looking scooter...probly made for the student demographic priced right between a traditional scooter and the Ninja/ CBR 250's. It looks a lil bigger than a pit bike. I could see it potentionally becoming a run for fun race class but personally for the street I would'nt give it a second look with a 125 motor..Now ifit was a 125 Two-Stroke I would be all over it..lol.

I totally wouldn't mind picking up one of these to mess around with! They look like a lot of fun for the price... Honda is killing it with budget bikes.

Looks cool!

Seems like a fun toy!

Much cooler than a scooter. And look how popular the Ruckus is. I think the Grom will be able to appeal to that same crowd.

It's like a puppy.

Doesn't really have a purpose… but it makes you go "Awwwww… so CUTE!"

psych0hans · May 15th, 2013, 12:01 AM

It is kindda cute... But I find it funny that the CBR250/500 don't have inverted shocks but this does... lol

My friend's wife wanted to ride but she's like 5' tall. She didn't feel comfortable on a 250 and lowering it enough to make her comfortable would be ridiculous.

Something like this looks perfect for her... and for us to borrow and have fun on :P

StephenA · May 15th, 2013, 11:20 AM

lol its so tiny. looks awesome, but dam a 125? lol

dave42 · May 15th, 2013, 11:38 AM

I bet you can gymkhana the heck out of this little thing with that short wheelbase. Doubt I'll ever get one though, it just looks way too little to be comfortable for me judging by the video.

tooblekain · May 15th, 2013, 12:10 PM

OMG...I want it for running errands and mini-gp racing!!!

lgk · May 15th, 2013, 12:26 PM

i know its not in the same class but id probably go for a klx140 first.

Red250R · May 15th, 2013, 03:34 PM

Sh*t if I had $3k laying around I'd buy one for fun. Just to screw around on lol cute little scooter that's pretty sick looking.
