Got my endorsement two weeks ago on this bike. I practiced one day a week, (3-5 hrs.) for 5 months. Great bike to learn on: small, light weight, and it has a clutch and shifter. This bike inspires confidence. If you wanna learn how to ride, BUY THIS BIKE.👍🏽💯

I love your attitude man it doesn't matter if we ride Grom or scooter or sport bike safety is a #1 priority and if someone says man you crazy wearing this stuff and all that tell him it's about your health and safety not his, and if he wants to ride a bike naked that's his choice.

one of the best smiles-per-hour on the planet. I got my license chucking a little grom around a parking lot.. drag that rear brake and you can nearly stop the thing on an apex and shoot out like a gnat changing direction... so much fun.

My son's 6-3. 195 and could go faster in 3rd than in 4th with his old Grom. He dropped ONE tooth off the drive sprocket and can now hit 65mph on the flat and 69 with a tailwind! Only other modification is a cheap glass-pack muffler and 40psi tires

ATGATT - All The Gear All The Time. I'm a big proponent of it. Anyone that has ridden enough miles has been cut off by that driver that "didn't see you". Ride enough miles, and you will have some close calls. I'd rather sweat from the extra armor than take an impact in a tee shirt. Gear won't protect you from your own stupidity. But when someone else is stupid, it will lessen the impact. And that is the whole point. Maybe it turns a break into a sprain. Maybe it turns brain damage into ringing your bell. Take every advantage you can with ATGATT.

I rode a Grom and a Monkey. They were the slowest bikes I have ever ridden! It is the only motorcycle I have ridden where you turn the throttle and NOTHING happens! They remind me of those go carts that you rent and race on the track. They are governed I think for about 10mph and when you push the gas pedal it takes them about 5 minutes to think about moving. IMO, the Grom and Monkey are ok around the neighborhood or on country rural roads, but I wouldn't feel comfortable taking them on any highways or major roads where the speed limit is over 40mph. If you tried to merge in front of a car or a truck, you are going to be road kill! Forget highways! Why buy a 9hp motorcycle and soup it up to 15hp when you can just get a 300cc and have 35hp for a little bit more? They are are for pussies and kids that are afraid of a real motorcycle. I had a Honda 300 CBRR that I sold because it was too slow to stay with traffic, and it was over stressed on the highway because you are running near redline all the time. They are unsafe IMO in most situations because you can't avoid accidents because on insufficient acceleration.
