I am actually a Honda Dealer Technician - but have owned a ct70 (several) st90 cr125 cr250 (bored 50 over) xr600r (big bore kit w/cam)and currently have a Valkyrie with 140k miles on it as my daily driver
I think the grom would be a lot of fun to commute on and probably do a lot better gas wise than the valk that with my throttle heavy style gets 15-20 mpg (it tops out at 26 mpg short shifting but with 6 jetted carbs I guess thats not terrible) over 85 mph forget about it -- closer to 5 mpg

Thanks for the greetings -- notice I didn't say I was "good" Honda tech lol

Actually its the shoemakers kids go barefoot thing with me -- as I have a fuel pump problem with My Busa and the valkyrie has a loud squeak in the drivetrain And I have yet to get a chance to get either on a rack for inspection

Hoping the grom will be as bulletproof as my honda trail bikes of the 70's

By way in what I've researched about the bike so far it seems like it won't be the type to give up.
