So fun on the expressway. I got behind a chevy express van and got my grom up to 78 mph!!

Lol video or it never happened!

Were you peeking through the rear windows to see whats going on in front? I would be scared shitless to give it a try. Awesome how you got it up that high though.

I pulled the sling shot on the Grom from behind my friends Ninja250. Got to about 67 mph. The car one would be a blast. Gotta try it.....behind someone who's in in the stunt tho.

That's the only way to grom on the highway. I try to get a van or SUV 66 is the most I've gotten but usually that's because I'm coming up on them

I was told the limiter comes on at 73 or 74, how'd you manage 78?

 

[mr.smith]

That sounds both terrifying and incredible. With the Grom being so small I feel like you would be just holding on for dear life as it flew down the road. Anybody have an idea of what that 78 mph is in kilometers? Somewhere around 170 kmh I am thinking.

I would not get on the freeway around GR on my Grom. But with my fat ass on mine it only runs 56mph.

I'm glad someone brought this up, I've been thinking about it the last couple times ive been on the freeway, you always see the token motorcyclist pulling a quick slingshot. I figure the Grom has to be better at drafting/slingshots just becasue of its smaller size, you fit perfectly in the slipstream even f most family sedans.

If your ballsy pull it on a big rig and see what kind of number you can get...

P.S how stable was the Grom at 78? you had to have some wobbles going on..

 

[forkseal]

It was very smooth. Mine has no limiter i was redlined though

 

[forkseal]

It feels like surfing ha you have to try it

 

[qg_pointblank]

Maybe you got a round set of vees I hit 60 instant shakes I'm waiting on a steering stabilizer to come out

 

[forkseal]

I have no shake at any speed

video plz, my grom only does 58mph

 

[MudderXL]

Yeah I want to see it too!

do you do this on a regular basis you daredevil you...

 

[GromGuy]

video plz, my grom only does 58mph

Wow, ONLY 58MPH, where have you taken it?
I hear people getting up to the mid 60's quite easily. Better try to start drafting and max out your grom

Whats the process like to remove the Groms limiter?

review the top speed threads

there are other ppl who are strugglign to get the bike to 55mph, pinned in 4th for a few minutes, and very lucky to hit 58mph

this is like the normal for me, pinnned for minutes on end usually gets me 58mph top speed,

pinnned and going down a hill ive seen 62mph.....

but sitting straight up pinned for minutes on end on a stock bike = 55-58mph and that is about it for my stock grom

Ill get a vid soon. I think mines just fast. Im 220 lbs and it will go 67 on flat ground
