Modern Vespa

Congratulations Mr fish! FUN is what ride ought to be.

Its mad

I saw a couple (yeah, 2 people) on one in Ilfracombe last year, they were touring the UK (that's touring with a little 't'),

I like them and would gladly celebrate my 'inner dick'

Congrats, Mr Fish. I've seen them at a couple of rallies. Keep saying I'm gonna go test ride one. Maybe it's good that I haven't?

I gotta say, I'm digging the new motto!

What a fun bike. Congrats.

Awesome little thing; must be great for filtering. btw grom means thunder in my native lang

shame you didn't take a photo of yourself on it, at 6.2 must feel like riding a dog

nice new ride.

you know there is a lot you can do to that 125 for performance parts to make it really scream.

Good show Mr Fish. I'm happy for you.

Congrats on the Grom, that's a pure hooligan bike! Looks like a lot of fun!

Love the new motto. I will try to live by your words. Hehe.

Don't ride unless you're prepared to be consumed

Already lining up some stuff

Im shocked honda didn't use it

Boo Yah! Nothin' like a new bike! Can't wait for the review!

it brings out the inner child ... I still have to do a review on the cb500 its all weather and riding time dependant

After my gts got stolen in April, first thing I did was go and buy one of these....

How do you find it ?

+1 Some sick shit out there. Make it a crazy screamer.

And no offense, Mr. Fish, but it looks like you have the means to trick it out.

Well I got rid of the cbr600 and kept the grom.... It's much more fun

.... and I've spent nearly £2000 in grom upgrades

Also a full tank is less than £4 and gets almost 120 miles

It's a perfect city commuter bike, I've done almost 2000 miles on mine....definitely a keeper I reckon

Definitely looking forward to the review. My GTS always puts a smile on my face, seems the Grom has the same fun factor!

Congrats, Mr. Fish. I was looking at one of those, too. Once I even saw two men on one, bombing down an expressway. Perhaps, if they'd put ABS on it I'd be riding one of those instead the CB300FA now.

Congrats, Mr. Fish,

Your vid is the perfect ad for the Grom. Couldn't be better.

Cheers,

Johnny

I will get christmas out of the way first then its mod time ..dont worry I'm very rarely if ever offended

Just filled it up with a whole £4 lol

I will put a few miles on it before the review

thanks its a weird love affair

There are a few important upgrades that you need also (tyres for starters...)
Give me a shout if you want to know more or if you wanna take my bike for a spin and try em out

What tyres are you running with ?

Michelin city grips

A huge improvement, more confidence in the handling/braking and no more slipping around in the rain

I was looking at those but I didn't like them too much on the BV350maybe work better with a 12" wheel they seem to get a good write up ..also looking at Pirelli diablos

I swear by the City grips but I think any replacement tyre is gonna be better than the v-rubber tyres that come as stock....

I will see what my local tyre shop has

Glad I got that one right. Shivvering here.

My son Sam lives in Chicago. He loves bikes too, and his girlfriend recently bought Grom so she could ride with him.

On a recent trip to visit, He and I went for a 40+ mile ride through Chicago and up Lake Shore Drive as far as it would go, then Sheridan past Northwestern University.

I loved it. It is tiny, even compared to my GT's. It is not as fast or as comfortable, but is a blast to ride.

My write up on Rocket and Me is here.

Good write up and nice pics too

Nice write up

congrats! enjoyable video Fishman

Had to watch the previous motovloggers on the Grom as well.

That looks fun.

I like fun.

There is no scientifically known limit to human tolerance of fun (<<< unabashed non-scientist)

Sounds like the recipe for a test ride.

If you test ride keep the cards at home it gets expensive lol
