Small wheels with fat tyres are very scooter like but it is surprising that the cornering turn in seems sluggish compared to the ultra lively Silence scooter. At the moment the gearchange quality can be slightly hit and miss. Most of the time it will snick through the gears but occasionally the up changes will baulk and once I was going along quite nicely but the gear indicator got confused and just showed a hyphen. It is also sometimes tricky to select neutral but this might improve with practice.
The attitude of some car drivers to something as small as the Grom is a bit worrying and even though I have often been travelling just on the high side of speed limits cars following close behind can seem a bit intimidating. I have added some extra running lights at the front and disconnected the strange Honda system which uses extra 5 watt filaments in both indicators simultaneously lit. I am also going to add some extra fluorescent yellow markings on a sort of fly-screen and possibly do something similar mounted on the rear rack when it arrives from Thailand.
I think I'm going to have a lot of fun going slowly on this unique machine and I would certainly recommend that you give one a try if you can.
Although I found riding my Honda C50 and then my C90 very good fun and they were really comfortable and useful bikes, especially the C90. Put loads of miles on the C50 and 90. Stripped the C50 at 30,000 miles for a bottom end job. Had to replace the piston and barrel on it at 21,000 miles though. It was along time ago when I had that 50 and oil was like treacle in those days so I expect that played a part in shortening it's life. The C90 just seemed to go and go without needing anything doing to it.
