I've been thinking of taking some better pics. Not that I know how to take better pics, nor do I have a device to do so. But yeah... I don't want to bore you guys in 3GR with that. Maybe I'll get around one day to making a thread about the car. Don't hold your breath though.

Ah soooooo...

I like them, but stick to Hugo Boss just for convenience since I buy mainly stuff from them...keeps it easy. Remember R&R's though? The morons who paid $$$$$$ just to get into them and of all things, that company went belly up.

Honestly, there was a time where i liked them...but I drove one and found the ride very harsh. It's a cool car, just not for me.

It's hard for them to see the other side. And it's hard for us to see their side. No side is willing to appease to the other even though they say it's not all or nothing, they think it is.

What year was it? To me it feels like a heavier s2000, to be honest. Like if honda built an s2000 in "Grand touring" mode and put a J series in, in place of the F series.

The harshest stock car I've ridden in was a 2006 G35 with the sport package. That suspension was stiff as hell and ultimately led most G35s to have rattles eventually. In comparison, the s2000 is soft as butter which is crazy.

I have a short one that comes of the Mass Air and to a filter right behind the battery, Piece of junk. It's sucking hot air from the engine bay, and when I got the car the filter was loose so when I would romp on it it would suck in an completely cut off air flow.

Like you said, they're expensive, so I've been thinking of making my own to start sucking air from the bottom where it belongs.

Btw opening up that air box to change the filter is a pain. Such a small opening and tight fit.

A '17?

I'm really restraining myself hard from not buying one or two of them. Then Honda want and did the slight restyle and put out that sick yellow... so much want.



I think the Grom might have displaced the Ruckus in my "impractical two wheeler I don't need" illness.

Back in 2009, I was working on getting my bike license. I was in this "learn to ride" course and they wanted everyone in attendance to get a chance to try riding all of the bikes. They had about 8-10 new Honda CBRs. The small ones. I think they wer about 125cc also. I ended up dropping a brand new bike and fucking it up

hey, in my defence, I told the instructor there was no way I could ride that bike, as I was too big for it. He insisted I did. I tried doing a right hand turn but the handle bars hit my knee, so I wasn't able to turn and I end up dropping the fucking thing

soory!

Yeah, I think the Grom is just a little bit smaller than the CBR125. Not much but a little smaller. A normal human definitely looks redorkuous on it, but I think it'd be a hoot!
