[breakdirt916]

I fargin love it

[akira700]

ok I'm coming around... its growing on me!

[feralchimp]

I told a friend (doesn't ride yet, wants to take MSF this summer) about this last night, and he asked whether it'd make a good first bike.

The more I think about it, the less confident I am in my answer. Interested to hear what y'all think about that.

The MSX125 (Grom) was tested in Thailand confirmed to hit 65 mph in stock trim.

With an American that weighs about as much as the machine itself?

The GF likes it and if she gets through MSF next spring, this is what we are buying.

[breakdirt916]

I'd back it in!!

[Chippertheripper]

This thing has crazy potential.

There is one for sale at Archie's. it's way smaller than I thought it would be. It's like a kids bike.

[breakdirt916]

I love small bikes!!

[Chippertheripper]

We know. This is too new and nice for you. You must wait until 2028 to buy one.

[Garandman]

Will the 250 model be called the Grommet?

I still prefer the Sachs Madass.

I did not know a "Grom" was a young surfbboarder or skater.

Don't adopt that word into your everyday vocabulary. I think it's a made up, marketing word.
Either way, this thing has -full retard- written all over it. Do want.

Don't know if it was intentional, but "Grom" means Thunder in Russian...

Yes, with an optional sidecar available under PN: HON-WALLACE-250

That would be a gromit. Not to be confused with a posure, a gromit is simply too young to have gained the necessary level of skill. Posures do not progress, gromits typically do.

I'll wait for some dude to buy it for his wife/gf, she rides it once and parks it...they eventually want it out of their garage and I'll lowball with cash

Motorcycles are good market to get deals because there's always a noob who determined motorcycles aren't for them, their family said 'it's too dangerous, or they need to liquidate their toys to go towards rent and other more fiscally responsible things

[nhbubba]

I still can't imagine this thing selling that well. The market seems incredibly limited. And for the price it is not hard to step up to a more highway capable.

I'm just throwing this out there; I've heard my friends say, "I left an angry grom in the toilet after drinking Schlitz all night." Has anyone else ever used grom as a dook?

If this bike has the same seat height as a Rebel 250, then there will be a ton of noobs buying it.

Grom-Up

We have our first 5 incoming units presold... can't remember the last time we've had that much demand right off the bat.

Yes it will die down after the first year, but still initially they are selling very well.

[jcbell1007]

Are you going to have any demo/showroom bikes so I can bring the GF down?

[a13x]

ahhah. WAHEEEEEED and his crazy red pants.

[WinVT]

Are you going to have any demo/showroom bikes so I can bring the GF down?

we won't likely have any available / demo units just sitting on the showroom until next summer.

we have our first one in the showroom right now, but it's paid for and the customer is coming in to pick it up at some point this week.... if you make it in soon you may be able to check it out.

Hey, maybe we can add this to the long list of things I've been wrong about.

But I still don't get it.
