So I just learned about the grom's existance just this week.
I am GOING TO BY ONE OF THESE!

So I call up my local dealer last night and he acutally has one!
I arrange a test ride for today, and late last night he calls me up and says, "Sorry, I just sold it".

I am so bumbed out! I know it's alot but I'm dying to take one for a spin. Are there any board members in the Central Virginia area who wouldn't mind going for a ride and trading me bikes for a short ride? I have a 2009 Kawasaki Versys 650 you could ride.

Thanks for considering...

Welcome. Sadly that happens especially when they are in high demand...

The fact that you already have a bike will help you.

It may be a slight chance but try and find one to rent in your area. Shops have 250s they keep for MSF rentals, maybe they rent smaller cc's just for weekenders or something.

Where in central Virginia are you? Mine should be coming in on Tuesday.

I have both! You don't need a test ride!! Just buy one. It is exactly what you think it will be but better keeping in mind it is a 125cc w/ 12" wheels.

The first photo makes the Grom look almost as big as the Versys so looking from another angle shows the Grom is truly a mini...

BTW, if Roanoke is not too far a drive, here is a lead.

Hi Kirk, I remember you from the versys forum. Seeing your V and G both in black gave me an idea, maybe I'll plastidip the groms plastics in green.
Nice bikes!

Still, i think he needs to ride the Grom, no better way to tell if he'll want one or not.

 

[capebretongrom]

love the photo of the 2 bikes together.

 

[little851]

redline is right.
I know I would like it, but I need to know if "I must have one". 3K is alot if you have two kids who still need to be put through college.

 

[thorn14]

I've been wanting to test ride one as well.

3K is a lot but depending on your situation may mean you can get rid of a beater in your fleet like mine.

 

[chye]

I think 3K is pretty reasonable brand new.

I can see the GROM holding its value since they only sell for 3K.

3k brings the price down from the motorcycle market and makes it very open, but still a lot of people wont drop 3k at the drop of a hat.... wish I could lol

seeing how the 2013 CBR250R's are just under a $1000 more than a Grom it will be interesting to see how well the new CBR's will hold their price although both bikes are in different segments.

i'm actually cross-shopping crf250 and grom rather than cbr. both are slow hooning bikes.
