Poll the Grom...

Post by homie »

The Honda PCX / Forza / Grom Forums

Now that we have so many moderators and happiness is abound why don't we open the door to the Grom community and see if a few will hook up from their native forums? Doesn't that sound fun Maddie, its no skin off your nose. I doubt it will even draw a crowd but why not make the gesture and add the Grom... wheelies and all 8)

lets do a poll

I certainly consider the Grom and CBR 125R siblings to the PCX.

In the same way that a baboon is a sibling to a human perhaps.

The MSX125 or Grom or the previous Monkey bike community are about as far removed from a scooter community as you could get. They have more in common with Yamaha R1 than a CVT scooter.

Like the man said gibbon to human. Anyway there are plenty of Grom forums, even though most of their stuff is for the MSX and comes from here. Strange the name Grom where does it come from. I'm thinking Germany as the Monkey Bike community is or was big there.

Here ya go. Enthralling isn't it.



Edit: a Grom or grommet is a young surfer under 16 . Exactly how that pertains to motorbikes I don't know.

The Grom is in the scooter section of ADVRider. They're low cc siblings in different form factors.

Where do you draw the line? Is the Integra still a scooter? Or is it more closely related to the NC700X with DCT? All these bike manufacturers have been trying to blur lines to cater to the rapidly evolving market.

Rather see the Silver Wing added, it being another Honda scooter, rather than the Grom.

p.s., Looking forward to seeing the rumored "off-roadized" Grom in the future!

Honda's NC idea is a good one, a single platform on which to hang a variety of styling choices.
The Integra isn't a scooter, its just dressed up to sort of look like one.

All scooters are motorcycles but not all motorcycles are scooters.

I voted 'no' not because I don't like the Grom but because they already have their own very active forum http://www.gromforum.com/ which has been around since they came out, plus I don't think the Grom folks would get involved with a scooter forum. But hey, you never know...

There are several Groms in the West Coast Scooter Community.
