New Honda Grom

[Eddieb]

I kid you not, that is it's name, in the US at least.

I wonder if Honda/Bluewing will bring them here, I think they look like fun.

Is this the new 'monkey bike' that the reports referred to?
Stupid name, but cool commuter.

With a massive 125 power plant and two-up capability...should sell well. The bikes profile looks like a clubbed foot though

I was looking at those yesterday, thought the exact same thing!...they look like lots of FUN!! (And cheap Fun too!)

Reminds me a little of the sachs madass 125, but with honda quality and probably a little more power. Should be an absolute hoot to ride.

[st00ji]

yeah i'd ride one. had a lot of fun on my street magic many moons ago.

wonder if it can handle motorway speeds

as for the D tracker - i see its on the kawa website for 3500. red baron have a second hand one for 5k... lol.

they sent me a text the other day about a huge stock clearance sale. popped in to find a handful of 12k bikes had $500 off. doesnt really seem like much of a sale to me

Yeah but that Kawa is just dorky looking ......

The Honda looks like a modern version of the Monkey Bike - I like it. Be Blue Wing will overprice them. (US$3k)

Nice price, but that looks like a full size bike, whereas the Honda is as others have said a new monkey bike.

That Kwaka is cool. Except can you buy tyres for 14 inch wheels?

I agree, a great wee bike and got excellent reviews! I wonder how many they have sold?

Dredging up an old thread...

Any word on if/when these get here? And what price they're likely to be?

Call Bluewing Honda tomorrow.

I suspect they will say something like 'if it looks like it would sell well we will not bring it in unless we can make 200% profit on it....'

I'm not rich enough to be that serious. I'd rather make an Ape anyway.

I love the look of these as a 'round town' bike. TBH I think the honda FTR would be better though: http://www.bikez.com/motorcycles/honda_ftr_230_2011.php

They never imported those here neither... if anyone has one for sale, PM me!
