New Motovlog - Grom review ... Sort of like a scooter

Post by honkerman »

Ok, so it's not a scooter, but as a teeny tiny motorcycle, the Grom is awesome. There are some drawbacks to a shifty bike, but I never stall it at all on this test ride and review...well...almost never...well, a lot

Paul that was Fun! 8 times heh? :lol: Hic-cup!
Alluring that's my one word for the Grom.
Liked it since it's debut.
Luck has it your dealer let you test it. Not happening anywhere here. I look at them on craigslist all the time. One day I may......(probably not though) :|

Question for you, when rolling to a stop why not leave the 4 speed in 1st instead of neutral? Then your ready for take-off? Yes? Or...did I forget the ruling on that? Please clear the webs for me :)

Wait! Paul! Why not try a Zero...now THAT bike really gets my attention. Just too expensive still.

Thanks 2yous.

And thanks WN. I only put it in neutral at that one light because my hand was tired of holding the clutch in. I had it in first at all the other lights. I did shift down to third and second a few times to slow the bike.
