Currently just have an 09 Zuma 125. At the time, the only EFI 125cc I could get.
Well, this Grom is next on my list and slated to be my 3rd bike. First was a 76' Honda CB500T; instead of moving up in displacement, I've found more enjoyment moving down and tuning the smaller bikes to suit my needs. I'm nearly done with the offroad conversion on the Zuma.
The fact that we now have access to a chain-driven, shiftable 125cc EFI Honda engine is huge to me. I'm leaning towards my first Grom build being more street-oriented, but I could see myself going for an engine swap to an offroader (or just a wheel/shock upgrade if that's all it takes). Having a second offroader might be better suited for my 2nd Grom though.
I know, I'm getting ahead of myself. We are hoping to have a house soon and thus, garage space for a 2nd bike. I've always been pleased with how moddable the Hondas are, at least their motorcycles/chain-driven bikes. The possibilities are endless. At the price, it's very reasonable to get started; just waiting on that house (hopefully soon, but it's a seller's market out here right now.)
Anyway, that's why I'm here. Just staying hyped, look forward to some Grom porn, and gathering intel. Ideally, I'll have most of the parts I need waiting in the garage when I get the Grom.
Hey, not that there's anything wrong with the stock Grom/MSX125. I'm just a tinkerer and can't leave things well enough alone.
Ride safe, my friends.
