<![CDATA[Who else rides things on two wheels?]]>I owned a 1991 CBR 600 back in the day, but didn't really like it. After riding my friend's grom 2 weekends ago, I decided I should probably get one.

Last night I picked up the first white 2017 Grom in Wisconsin to my knowledge. Reserved it about a week ago and picked it up a few hours after it was delivered yesterday. Walked in and saw a nice "SOLD" tag on it. They got three in (white, red, yellow), and two of them were already sold. Three people expressed interest in mine while I was filling out paperwork, but I wasn't about to let her go.

I now own 3 BMWs and a motorcycle. I think I have a problem.

Nah, low and centered body position just results in it feeling like a bump.

But idk what it is about them. Part of me likes them and the other part of me tells me I'm dumb for liking them. They look cool but are not at all enjoyable to ride lol

Not very hip of you to have more than one gear. Not very hip at all.

WOT is a necessity to move the damn thing. The 6 year extended warranty was through the dealership. Think it added like $2 a month to my payment lol

Break it in hard and change the oil often lol. I opted for the 6 year warranty which covers everything besides tires and wear parts. Which is nice considering how it gets ridden

Good to know because I've been breaking mine in really hard. I had almost no choice but to go WOT for the first 30 miles because of where I bought it.

Did you get the warranty through the dealership you bought yours, or Honda? It does sound like good reassurance.

A friend of mine has one and has let me drive it. I don't know if I would want it as my only bike (not great for longer trips), but I wouldn't mind having one. My current bike is a BMW G650 XCountry that I picked up earlier this year. So far it is exactly what I was hoping it would be. Plenty of power and still light and nimble.

I rode an identical DRZ to the one handlyundley has.  They are a blast.  Hope to pick up a motard soon, parting the R1 now.  I'd also like a grom, but I don't think I could do it as my only bike.

Now is the time to buy one. I over payed for mine because I was looking in May.

I am hoping Honda will put the Grom Scrambler concepts they made into production.

I really want to ride a Grom. Ive had a few big bore Zuma's and am curious how a Grom would compare. I just picked up a 13 Suzuki DRZ400 super moto a few months ago and it's a ton of fun to ride around the city.

They aren't fast in a straight line, that's for sure. I just like how fun and nimble they are. Perfect for getting around town and saving gas (I live and work in the city).

Someone on Facebook (Rowley) didn't understand why someone would buy a Grom when they could buy a Supermoto. I'm not sure what a brand new DRZ400 would cost, but I paid $3800 out the door on this brand new Grom. That's fees, tax, registration, plates, etc.

I don't doubt that the DRZ would be a ton of fun. I'd probably like the additional power. I've never ridden one, but I know for sure that I enjoy the Grom.
