what about a buell blast?
What about the new Ninja 300 or the Cbr250?
Both are really good, but $1200-1500 more expensive than the Grom. Plus, I can't toss one of those in the back of a Pilot with the help of a friend. Those bikes will cruise on the interstate though...
what about a buell blast?
I cannot stand riding an under powered torqueless bike on public roads, it's one thing for a small area with very little traffic but around any major city with traffic riding with other cars sucks.
They really need to offer at least the cbr250 motor in it.
I love my 919. I ride it 90% of the time I ride.
The power band and riding position are perfect for the back roads. I just leave it in 4th and go. What octane do you run in yours? I have always stuck to 87 until today. Tried out 93, and it felt stronger in the midrange. Maybe it's just me, or maybe there is less timing retardation for knock. I also got close to 50mpg for the trip. In the past I have dipped into the high 30's
87, the motor is designed for 87 and in fact 919s are known for stinking. running 93 makes them stink even more.
