RACER X · 04-26-2014, 11:39 AM

well, sold off the ape and gladius since i'm picking up both kids everyday after school, and no ride time on weekends.

couldn't stand an empty garage

so i bought a GROM, used w/ 2 mi since OCT last yr, now has 90mi in 1wk

carbon fiber pieces i picked up

changed out the slip-on for a full system

big bore kit.......hmmmm

this bike gets more attention then the Ape ever did, lol

took off the rear turn signals

plan to get this rear light

orig. owner threw away the mirror and inspection, put a fender elim kit all within 2 mi and 6 mos, lol

Sweet, my cousin picked up one of these too, can't wait to take it for a spin.

You on a Grom??! Talk about a monkey humping a football!

RACER X · 05-01-2014, 06:29 AM

kekeke.........its a barrel of monkey man! Z came back after her first ride screaming about how much fun it was

i think big bore is next on my list 140cc 80mph less then $500

I'd lose my license on that

(edit: it'd be worth it

)

Homeslice · 05-10-2014, 04:38 PM

Is it legal on the highway? What's it top out at?

RACER X · 05-11-2014, 01:11 PM

i heard its not legal in CA

haven't checked here, i just pretty much ride the feeder roads and back streets.

i only get to ride it on my fri off, so just screwing around

Z said she saw 67
i saw 60, but the wind has a lot to do w/ top speed, lol

there are several big bore kits out there, so thats in the future.

installed last weekend
CRG arrows
intake
LED brakelight/turn signals like i linked earlier

ohlins should be here next week
racetech ft end soon after that, lol

heck Corbin already makes a saddle for the bike, it's nice to! but $300+

this is getting to be an expensive cheap bike!

watch out circus bear coming thru

Tsunami · 05-12-2014, 01:33 AM

Hmm may have to trade in my 200 for that little thing if they top out at the same speed!

RACER X · 05-12-2014, 06:34 PM

the beauty is in the size, it's tiny and at 225lbs crazy light

heard yamaha is going to bring in a 125, but it'll have big wheels and weight 300lbs, 50% more basically.
