Had no clue?!

"Essentially, a gymkhana is any event featuring a starting point, a finish line and some sort of "obstacle" to get through, around, or by, all within a certain time limit."
Sounds pretty cool.

the official honda grom commercial showed a Grom doing some gymkhana, but it's just very mild gymkhana, nothing extreme (which would of been better)

Gymkhana is a timed racing event where drivers navigate their way around an obstacle course in the shortest amount of time possible.
Courses may include 180-degree turn, 360-degree turn, figure 8s and other complex turns which require advanced driving skills.
The driver's goal is to get through the course as quickly as possible with the fewest number of mistakes. Acceleration, braking, drifting & grip driving are all necessary. Not only does the driver have to hold control over the car, but gymkhana also requires strong mental concentration and memorization.

Gymkhana takes some serious skill.
Here is an example of a radical gymkhana in a colder setting

And also for cars here is Ken Block one of the grandfathers of the sport.

Oh I'm sure it'll work but upgrading the suspension, brakes, and tires don't hurt
This is what I am talking about.
I have seen guys doing that on Gold Wings with a trailer in tow. Awesome!
Yep, most bikes are not set up for larger folks such as myself.Oh I'm sure it'll work but upgrading the suspension, brakes, and tires don't hurt
a bit bore kit would help with getting more smoke going
nothing better than having more power to the wheels.
big bore kit and boosted grom doing drifting and gymkhana

maneuverability is everything in gymkhana. some orgs even assign penalty points for riding too small of a bike.
outright speed isn't anywhere near as important
Sick!Gymkhana takes some serious skill.

I doubt the grom would look anything like that unless there is a crazy amount of work done to it for the power to spin the tires that much. these guys have a serious skill. I wonder how many outtakes there were to these videos. I wouldn't believe they had it all in one shot. I would love to be there to see it though.
